For as long as I can remember, The Rookie has aired Tuesdays at 10p on ABC. However, starting on January 26th, it is moving to Mondays at 10p after American Idol, which returns on that night.
Why? To make room for Scott Speedman’s RJ Decker, which will premiere on March 3rd.
Scott Speedman stars as RJ Decker, a disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida. The series follows him tackling cases that range from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife and a shadowy new benefactor — a woman from his past who could be his greatest ally … or his one-way ticket back to prison. “RJ Decker” is inspired by the novel “Double Whammy” by Carl Hiaasen.
The Rookie will air without any repeats until the end of this season.
