Well it’s been a big wrap-up season of network tv. Series finales for cancelled The Equalizer (CBS) and Night Court (NBC) both entertaining enough but The Equalizer definitely felt like it had run its course with their personal lives. It turns out I watch a slate of CBS stuff: Ghosts which I find funny, Elsbeth where she and the cast are all really fun to watch unravel the case, and then meh Tracker , and Watson. Along with enjoyable Will Trent (ABC) and Wild Cards (CW). And in non-network The Four Seasons (Net) which I thought was just ok.
