Network premiere week used to be one of the most exciting times of the year, but in the last few years, it’s been something of a slog. We end up sampling ten or 12 new shows, and only end up watching one for any length of time. I have the feeling that, once this week is over, the only new shows we’ll be tuning into the following week are Gotham, maybe Blackish, and a handful of us will be watching Jeffrey Tambor’s Transparent on Amazon (the pilot was amazing).
Anyway, a few new shows have already premiered (Utopia, Red Band Society, The Mysteries of Laura) and New Girl and The Mindy Project returned last week, while The Good Wife and CBS’s new show, Madam Secretary premiered last night. Here’s what’s on tap this week. Shows that Uproxx will be following most closely are in bold.
