The Most Anticipated Show(s) of 2022-23

Every May, I would scroll over the network schedules they produce during the Upfronts and make a list of the new shows coming next fall that I am most excited about. That list has gotten smaller and smaller and this year the list is just one: Quantum Leap. I guess unless you really love cop or doctor shows, networks are just not for you anymore. Law and Order, FBI, and Chicago even have their own nights. That does not count Grey’s Anatomy or NCIS which has two hour blocks or The Rookie that has two shows on different nights.

Of course this is because all the adventurous shows have moved to streaming. Sitcoms used to be the one thing networks did better than streaming but there are no new sitcoms launching in September, Lopez vs. Lopez will get a late fall premiere. Only two other sitcom got announced this year. Not only will no new shows will be on the fall schedule, CBS and ABC both cut an hour of comedy each from their current schedules. They both very recently had two two hour blocks of sitcoms each week, now CBS is down to two one hour blocks and ABC has one two hour block. The previously mentioned NBC, who once had the once vaunted Must See TV Thursday comedy block, will launch with no sitcoms on their schedule for the second straight year.

So with very few new shows, my fall schedule looks very bare.
