2026 Fall Primetime Network Schedules

[primestar31]

I am so sick of law dramas.

IMO, the only law drama worth watching, is the original Perry Mason. It never gets old, had perfect casting, and I love it!

The parent companies of the Networks own the streaming services, so they helped to destroy themselves.

Personally, I am enjoying this new world of TV, even being retired, there is so much content on, cannot catch up.

So much better then scrolling up and down the channel guide, trying to find something new to watch, which is much worse today.

Actually, my thought was that you no longer record anything, the DVR is obsolete mostly, you can watch any show you want at any time ... therefore, whether you have New show or not, theres no Rush to see it (Network you pretty much watch when it's on (outside of DVR) so you have to watch it then ... vs On Demand with Streaming ....

Bruce, I know, I just made my case For Streaming, and I don't dislike Streaming, as long as I have access to what I want/need to watch.
I dislike having to have 6 different Apps (or more) to watch what was on 1 platform ...

NCIS: Origins only has a 10 episode season and a new show runner so it's probably toast…

Not nessasarily ...
All those people that keep saying, less episodes, less filler shows ...

I personally prefer the 20+ episode seasons, it feels like you get more for your money ...
You definitely get better Character development.

Streaming pretty much put an end to the Sept to May Season

My experience has been quite the opposite lately. I find myself watching a lot of YouTube and reruns on the Roku Channel. Amazon is picking up a bit at the moment, after a rather long dry spell.

ST: Strange New Worlds returns July 23rd, so I'll be looking for promos around that time and/or binging on a trial.

So why isn't there like a cable for streaming? That aggregates content from various streamers the way cable (and then sat) aggregated from programmers? So then you'd sub to like various tiers of streamed content, like cable packages, all from 1 provider.

That is what the Apple TV Up Next row does. You just add the content you want to watch into the Up Next row and those show up in the Up Next row. Then when the next episode is released it puts it in the Up Next row (unless you haven't watched the older episode). Even after a season ends when the next season is released it will put the first episode of that season in the Up Next row. Works for about all streaming apps except Netflix that refuses to play ball with Apple.

Of course you have to subscribe to those streaming services that the shows are on.

That bites. Moving High Potential and Shifting Gears to midseason to go along with The Rookie and The Rookie: North.

I actually prefer it that way, allows for a uninterrupted weekly run.

Also, all of those shows have less episodes in a season, roughly 18 at the most.

The Closest thing would be You Tube TV or Hulu Live or Directv (streaming)
That would be the cable version of Streaming

Is DOC really on FOX ?

I watched the 1st season on Netflix I believe and the 2nd Season on HULU ...
I presume I can watch Season 3 on Hulu as well ?
Or do I have to pay $40 a month or whatevere it cost for Fox 1 ?

Midseason is January or February.

Jan/Feb is the 2nd half of the Fall season ... ?

Any one show a Date for its return ?

The TV season is September/October to April/May. The TV midseason is January/February.

ABC has renewed High Potential for a third season, expected to premiere in January 2027 as part of the midseason lineup, rather than Fall 2026. The hit procedural faces major creative changes, with new showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face) taking over, while Steve Howey is not expected to return as a series regular.

That is what the Apple TV Up Next row does.

Slightly more useful than "continue watching" as you can add new shows.

The only issue I have with the Up Next row is it only shows the latest 20 that you have added to it. To see more than that you have to open the Apple TV app and the Continue Watching row shows all of them. When you add new things to Up Next it also adds them to Continue Watching. The one nice thing about the Continue Watching row is if you long press on one of them there is popup menu and one of the entries is "Browse Continue Watching" and when you click on that it brings all of them up into one screen.

No loss. Never liked his character.

We didnt like that one. Wife watched a few times and deleted it from the DVR list.

Streaming Killed the Networks

Yes and it was planned that way. They own all the content so you have to pay to see it! Now a handful of companies own and control it all!.....Looks like the plan worked perfectly?

Second season was much better than the first.
