NBC announced today when their Spring shows are premiering, so get ready for the return of Chris Meloni, aka Stabler, on April Fool’s Day.
They also revealed that Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is returning to Sundays with Good Girls. Hopefully, it got enough of a positive sampling on Tuesdays to help get more eyeballs for both shows that deserve them.
Another big development is that Thursdays will not any have Must See comedies. The 8p funny hour is being replaced by the Sci-Fi drama Manifest. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

“GOOD GIRLS” (SEASON 4 PREMIERE)
“Good Girls” follows suburban moms Beth (Christina Hendricks), Ruby (Retta) and Annie (Mae Whitman) who, at a loss over how to solve their various crippling financial troubles, decide to rob a supermarket in a heist that attracts the attention of a local gang leader, Rio.
The stakes get higher in season four as the Secret Service closes in on our women’s counterfeit ring. When we last saw Beth, she was struggling to carve out her own criminal path separate from Rio, using her husband’s spa company, Boland Bubbles, as a front. Ruby seemed to have salvaged her marriage after a rocky road, but only time will tell if her hidden secrets implode. Annie is focusing on inner love and healing as she takes the journey to rebuild independence.
