Normally, today we would start our annual look at the fall television schedule and the shows I was planning to watch. This is not a normal time. The Writer’s Guild of America has been on strike since May 2, and the actors covered under SAG-AFTRA joined the picket lines on July 14. With no writers and no actors, it is hard to make a whole lot of new TV. Because of that, this fall’s offerings is a motley collection of reality shows, game shows, repeats, and imported content.
Because of this, we will combine everything for the fall into this post, since it will be a very short list.

Nothing!
Monday

Tuesday
Celebrity Jeopardy! – Ken Jennings replaces Mayim Bialik as host and recycled clues will be used due to the ongoing strike. There’s no telling what celebrities will be participating, since actors are not allowed to promote any projects during the strike.
Wednesday
