The Fall Television Season is Finally Here

 

With the weather changing, football back, and daylight shortening up, that could only mean one thing: the fall television season is back! Yes, it's that time of the season when new and return shows give us what we love: to laugh, love, cry, and be thrilled. 

With the Primetime Emmy Awards airing last night, today is the most exciting week for me as Premiere Week is like Christmas, and the Super Bowl all wrapped up in one week. We've been waiting all summer for this week to come, and now it's finally here!

Returning shows like One Chicago or FBI series, The Conners, or not to mention Station 19 and Grey's Anatomy, gives us that our shows are back. With an exciting new season full of drama and excitement with our favorite characters and what will happen to them this new season. 

Plus, the season premieres of our returning shows are either having an epic crossover event (FBI series, Station 19-Grey's Anatomy) or picking up with the cliffhangers that we're left at the end of last season (Chicago Fire and Chicago PD).

And let us not leave out the new shows like NCIS: Hawaii, Ghost, and The Big Leap. American Rust and LA BREA, to name a few, are trying to become the next new hit. Some of these new shows look exciting to tune in and see where they would go. 

While last season didn't start every day, it feels good to return to normalcy, knowing that we get to see our favorite characters back and escape for a half-hour to an hour from the madness in our daily lives. Here's to having a great fall season and premiere week because as soon as fall hits, winter is just around the corner.

I don't know about you but I'm very looking forward to finally seeing LA's Finest. I see Fox has been very conservative with their programming by using a few of their new series first and to save the returned one during midseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FOX 2018-2019 Fall Schedule The Orville Premieres Mid-season, Friday Night Comedy is Back

Fox will be shaking things up, making changes on every night of the week next season (expect for Wednesdays as it will stay with Empire and Star). One of the biggest changes is the addition of Thursday Night Football this fall. Seth MacFarlane's The Orveill, which aired this past fall on Thursday, will return to the night after the end of football, following Dec. 30th premiere behind a double header on Sunday.

Another change is that Fox has gone back to all drama Tuesday night after opening up to single-camera comedy block after cancelling all but one of it's single-camera half-hours, LA to Vegas, which will premiere in Midseason. But the network has picked up three new multi-camera comedies, The Cool Kids and Rel and a new season of Last Man Standing, that will open up a multi-camera comedy block on Fridays. It would be the first time since 2009 that the network aired a multi-camera comedy block since airing Brothers and 'Til Death.

NBC Rescues Brooklyn Nine-Nine from Cancellation

Hot Damn! The Nine Nine is back!!

That's right, it was announced late Friday that NBC has picked up the cancelled Fox comedy for a sixth season that contains 13 episodes. Andy Samberg and the original cast will be back.

Executive producer Dan Goor broke the news late Friday via Twitter.

"Ever since we sold this show to Fox, I've regretted letting it get away, and it's high time it came back to its rightful home," NBC Entertainent Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. "Mike Schur, Dan Goor and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC, and we're all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here's to the Nine-Nine!"

It was on Thursday that the show sealed it's fate when Fox announced it was not renewing the show, but the fans (that includes famous names like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Hamill and Guillermo del Toro) had raised such an uproar on social media that NBC took notice. The pick-up now gives EP Michael Schur three comedies on NBC: The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the new comedy Abby's.

With the last 24 hours being rough of learning that the Nine-Nine and Great News were cancelled but when NBC picked up the Nine Nine I was over the moon with excitement. The show is literally one of the greatest comedies of the 21st Century with it's strong cast, writing and humor.
