Some of the final pieces of the fall TV season are on the way now – albeit in the winter.
The most recent steps – see separate story – involve three shows (“Equalizer,” “Call Me Kat,” “The Masked Dancer”) that will be launched after football games. That followed several other moves: CBS has just returned four of its dramas … NBC set Ted Danson’s new “Mr. Mayor” comedy (shown here) for Jan. 7 … ABC and Fox set January dates for returning shows and for some mid-season game shows.
Here’s an updated, alphabetical list of what’s scheduled on the five broadcast commercial networks. Others – cable, streaming and PBS – tend to have shorter runs throughout the year.
