Midseason Review – Thursdays

We are on the back half of our look back at the offerings for the new fall season. Thursday night is traditionally the busiest night of the week for my television viewing habits, but not this year. Here’s what was on the slate for this season.

7:00

9-1-1 – Returning for its eighth season, and its second on ABC, I started watching the previous seasons this summer.

After starting with the show over the summer when I was in Amsterdam, I managed to catch all the way up over my December vacation.

8:00

Doctor Odyssey – The new series stars Joshua Jackson as a doctor working on a cruise ship.

A 21st century Love Boat that has more focus on the ship’s crew than on the cruise guests.

9:00

Elsbeth – The The Good Wife spinoff returns for its second season, but I still have to watch the first one.

One day, I will start watching.  Today, however, is not that day.

Grey’s Anatomy – The medical drama enters its 21st season down an attending and an intern

What can you say about a show in its 21st season?

And now the new entries:

Going Dutch – I don’t see any sort of a future for this, but it’s good to see Danny Pudi getting some work.

Hollywood Squares – This was… not good.

ABC Upfronts

Change is in the air at ABC, where they are adding new scripted programming after taking last year off due to the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes.  A familiar name is returning to Mondays, with Monday Night Football back in its long-time perch for selected weeks.  The network has yet to announce what will air in the weeks where football remains on ESPN only.  Dancing With the Stars moves to Tuesday, followed by High Potential, written by Drew Goddard and starring Kaitlin Olson.

Wednesday kicks off with the first installment of The Golden Bachelorette, followed by Abbott Elementary and Scamanda, a docu-series based on the podcast about a wife and blogger who faked cancer.  9-1-1 returns for its second season on ABC to kick off Thursdays, followed by Doctor Odyssey, a new medical drama from Ryan Murphy and starring Joshua Jackson.  The 21st season of Grey’s Anatomy wraps up the night.  Friday remains the same, with Shark Tank followed by two hours of 20/20.  Sunday also stays stable, with America’s Funniest Home Videos followed by three hours of The Wonderful World of Disney.

On the bench for mid-season are new installments of American Idol, The Bachelor, Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, the final season of The Conners, The Rookie, What Would You Do? and Will Trent.  A new version of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, produced by Reese Witherspoon, is also on the docket.

Shows never to be seen again are The Good Doctor, Not Dead Yet, and Station 19.
