Circuit Scorecard: 2019-2020 TV Schedule and Promising Network Lineups

Pilot season is upon us. As September brings us into fall, so too does the new Fall TV season begin. With more networks than ever before, it has become incredibly challenging to keep track of what to watch.

Current TV Schedule & Updates
Updated: September 21, 2019
This first section looks at the 2019-2020 Network TV schedule. Each channel will have two charts. The first chart breaks out the new shows for each network. The second looks at the returning shows. Each chart lists premiere dates, weekly air dates and any updates on renewals or cancellations. The links on the show title take you to the latest review for that show's current season.
ABC
ABC continues to build off of their biggest successes. "Mixed-ish" comes in as a spin-off from "Black-ish," ABC's incredibly successful family comedy. They recently had a similar situation with "Schooled" (which exists in the same universe as "The Goldbergs"). Other than that, ABC starts the fall with two new dramas. "Stumptown" casts Cobie Smulders in the adaptation of a private investigator graphic novel. Meanwhile, "Emergence" is a mystery about a young girl found at the scene of a plane crash with no memory of prior events.

CBS
CBS is front-loading their new series, with five out of eight of them kicking off the fall. A majority of them are part of the Monday and Thursday comedy blocks, such as "All Rise," "Bob ♥ Abishola," "Carol's Second Act" and "The Unicorn." With "The Big Bang Theory" over, CBS is hoping that one of these will take off and become their new comedy anchor. Meanwhile, "Evil" blends CBS' love of procedural with the classic debate of science and religion.

FOX
With ten new series, FOX has the largest roster of freshmen. Up first are the criminal thriller "Prodigal Son," the sperm donor dramedy "Almost Family," and the star-studded animated comedy "Bless the Harts." Fox also leans into IP, with "9-1-1" getting its own spin-off midseason ("9-1-1: Lone Star"). In terms of returning shows, they are leaning heavily into "The Masked Singer," their surprise hit from mid-season. With "Empire" leaving, Fox hopes one of these new shows can take up the mantle and be the latest water-cooler television event.

NBC
"Bluff City Law" enters the fall season very confident, as NBC has already picked the show up for a full 16 episode season. They are similarly hoping for success from a pair of comedies that are joining the Thursday lineup ("Perfect Harmony," "Sunnyside"). As these shows begin their runs, NBC also says goodbye to many long-running, beloved shows. "Blindspot," "The Good Place" and "Will & Grace" will all air their final seasons this year. Meanwhile, their massive hit "This Is Us" isn't going anywhere. While this year marks the show's fourth season, it has already gotten picked up for seasons five and six.

THE CW
All your favorite characters are heading to the CW this year. With new shows such as "Batwoman," "Katy Keene" and "Nancy Drew" hitting the airwaves, it seems CW is fully stocked with all your childhood favorites. CW hopes these new shows will become big hits for the network, which is saying goodbye to some of its longest running shows ("The 100," "Arrow," "Supernatural"). Let's see what happens with the passing of the guard to this new CW lineup.
