I have yet to catch any of last week’s premieres but wrapped up Forever from the previous, it wasn’t perfect but overall the premise, characters, and odd tone kept me engaged. I’m likely to skip the rest of I Feel Bad which was a little forced and after three eps of Mayans although it’s got lots of potential I still remain unengaged in characters or story, I’m out. Happy for the return this week of the final season of Big Bang, The Good Place, Mom, and curious about the new vibe on Lethal Weapon. I will also tune in for at least the first This Is Us as well as a few new options.
- Magnum PI (CBS) Series Premiere, Monday, 9pm – I’ll catch one of these to see how they reimagined the characters but don’t assume this one will make the queue.
- Manifest (NBC) Series Premiere, Monday, 10pm – Interesting premise (plane returns 5+ years later without the plane people missing a beat) but sounds like execution leaves something to be desired.
- FBI (CBS) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 9pm – I used to love early Law & Order but haven’t really been in sync with any of the new worlds created.
- New Amsterdam (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – Yes it’s another medical show but not sure this ideological approach will have enough to grab me.
- Mr Inbetween (FX) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 11:25 – Haven’t heard much about criminal for hire but looks like it has possibilities.
- Single Parents (ABC) Series Premiere, Wednesday, 9:30 – Will it be funny, we’ll see.
- A Million Little Things (ABC) Series Premiere, Wednesday, 10pm – Hoping the buzz around this one means this could actually be a keeper as a group of friends deals with suicide.
- Murphy Brown (CBS) Season Premiere, Thursday, 9:30pm – Technically not a new show but it’s back a chunk of time later and here’s hoping they’ve got a fresh take on today’s news Murphy style.
- Last Man Standing (Fox) Season Premiere, Friday, 8pm – I don’t assume this has much of a new take at all but it was a solid enough sitcom and likely remains so.
- The Cool Kids (Fox) Series Premiere, Friday, 8:30 – I’m hoping this retired life show gives these fun actors something good to work with.
- God Friended Me (CBS) Series Premiere, Sunday, 8:30pm – We’ll see how god’s latest touch with humanity (or is it?) strikes.
And some returning streaming with Norsemen (Net, Wed), El Marginal (Net, Fri), Reboot (Net, Fri).
