After months of delays and adjustments, the TV networks have now scheduled most of their fall shows.
Many, however, will be arriving mid-winter, not in the fall. That starts with four CBS action shows in early December (including “Magnum, P.I.,” shown here), then speeds up in January.
The latest news involves January starts for three ABC shows – “The Rookie” (Jan. 3), “Mixed-ish” (Jan. 26) and the new “Call Your Mother” (Jan. 13). Still in limbo are a few shows that were expected this fall – CBS’ “Evil” and “Equalizer” and NBC’s New Amsterdam” and “Manifest.” Also, ABC reversed course and canceled Stumptown.”
Here are three alphabetical lists, covering the five broadcast commercial networks. (Others – cable, streaming and PBS – tend to have shorter runs throughout the year.) The lists have shows that now have a return or start date (including a few newly announced mid-season ones) … some of the shows that are waiting … and ones that are already here:
