Last year’s new broadcast shows were lackluster. Then came Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. The musical dramedy is about a woman named Zoey (Jane Levy), who after an accident in an MRI machine during an earthquake, starts to see and hear people sing their thoughts. The show is a diamond in the rough, but NBC buried it on Sunday nights.
That was last season. Starting on January 5th, they are moving the show to Tuesday nights before This Is Us. That is a huge vote of confidence for the darling series that you need to be watching. It was the only new drama worth singing about last season. Thus, I am belting out This Little Light of Mine over this news.
