Last month,
NBC was supposed to announce its fall schedule. However, the coronavirus put a wrench in their plans. Now that production is starting up, the network is finally ready to show us what we are going to watch and when to in a few months.
Like all of the other broadcast networks, they are playing it safe. They are only changing up one night and it is Thursday. Gone is a two-hour block of comedies. Instead, it is going to be two hours of Law & Order: SVU. The mothership and its spinoff with Chris Meloni called Law & Order: Organized Crime.
The only other change is The Voice is bringing back Gwen Stefani instead of Nick Jonas. How nauseating it is to have the No Doubt singer and her boyfriend Blake Shelton on the show again. Couldn’t they find anyone else?
As you can see the schedule is pretty safe:
MONDAY
8-10 P.M. — The Voice
10-11 P.M. — Manifest*
TUESDAY
8-9 P.M. — The Voice
9-10 P.M. — This Is Us*
10-11 P.M. — New Amsterdam*
WEDNESDAY
8-9 P.M. — Chicago Med*
9-10 P.M. — Chicago Fire*
10-11 P.M. — Chicago P.D.*
THURSDAY
8-8:30 P.M. — Superstore*
8:30-9 P.M. — Brooklyn Nine-Nine
9-10 P.M. — Law & Order: SVU*
10-11 P.M. — LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME*
FRIDAY
8-9 P.M. – The Blacklist*
9-11 P.M — Dateline NBC*
To see what midseason shows are coming up, then

Even though they are playing it safe, it is still the strongest lineup of all of the networks.
