So what new shows are people interested in on here?

For me, I'll give NEW AMSTERDAM, FBI, THE ROOKIE (Nathan Fillion!), and maybe the new MAGNUM PI a try.

This is pretty much why my network viewing has gone down in recent years.  Not television in general, but from the five networks.  I gravitate to cable and streaming to get more and more of my fix.  That said, I'll probably check out MURPHY BROWN.  Newsroom satire in the "fake news" era should make for some interesting television.  Also all-in on THE ALEC BALDWIN SHOW.  His podcast "Here's the Thing..." is often a fun, interesting, and enlightening way to spend 40 minutes.

I'm adding one new show to my list above:  THE COOL KIDS.  I'm not generally a big sitcom fan, but this looks hilarious!  And I must admit I am slightly tempted to tune into the first episode or two of THE CONNORS....

I'm not sure if this is a vote of confidence or not.

SUPERGIRL was CW’s second highest rated show in terms of overall viewers after FLASH, and its fourth highest rated show in the 18-49 demo after FLASH, BLACK LIGHTNING, and SUPERNATURAL, ticking slightly above CW’s current “it” show RIVERDALE. 

I look at it as the CW expecting SUPERGIRL to anchor a new programming night.

There are 2 key nights in Network TV ad sales, Thursday because movies must advertise their Friday releases so they pay a premium for Thursday placement. And Sunday, because the size of the audience is so much bigger.  

For me, I decided to give MANIFEST a try.  It's interesting.  I don't know if it'll hold me for numerous episodes, but I like the premise.  Unfortunately, the first episode had a few issues....  I won't spoil anything just yet, but a few times I was thinking to myself, "huh?".  We'll see if this one lasts.

Like Kevin said I like the premise of MANIFEST but I think they're blowing it. Pretty clunky right now.

I gave MAGNUM a watch like I said I would. Other then the goosebumps from the opening theme not much else grabbed me. The characters don't seem to have the charm to ingratiate themselves to me.

NEW AMSTERDAM:  Fair.  Likable characters, but not quite sure how the show is going to hold up.  I'll probably watch the entire year though.

FBI:  Typical procedural.  The first episode was ok.  I'm just not sure if I'll keep watching though.  Might give this another 2 episodes to see if it really grabs me, but it's already on the fence.

MAGNUM PI:  Nothing to see here.  Move on.  I think they should have done the premise they had a couple of years ago of it being Magnum's daughter.  Fans of the updated Hawaii 5-0 will love it though, but not me.

THE COOL KIDS:  So far, the best new show of the year for me.  I'm already hooked after the first episode, and I'm not generally a big fan of sitcoms!

MANIFEST feels LOST-lite, which isn't a bad thing to me, but I think is going to be hampered by being on a network; too many episodes, too much melodrama.  We'll stick with it for now.  

SINGLE PARENTS is cute and sometimes funny, but a comedy constrained by its premise.  By that I mean I find it incredibly hard to believe that these five parents would find a way to so totally integrate themselves into each others lives that they literally do everything together.  Short leash.  May become just my wife's show.
