NBC:
Timeless: There were a few time traveling shows to debut around the time that NBC debuted Timeless like ABC’s Time after Time, Fox’s Making History and the CW’s Frequency and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Only one other show besides Timeless is still on the air and that is the superhero show Legends of Tomorrow. You really fall for the characters and want them to succeed every time they go back in time. The premise is a government funded project by Connor Mason the man who made the time machine that gets stolen by a man name Garcia Flynn. He has lost his wife and kids and thinks the people that are responsible are the hidden people in the government who really pull all the strings. He steals the time machine to go back in time to rewrite history to take down the people he thinks are responsible for his family’s death since he thinks these mysterious people have been pulling the strings throughout all of history. The government recruit an acclaimed historian name Lucy Preston to help them solve where and why Flynn is going back in time. She is joined by Wyatt Logan a US Army Delta Force operative and one of the lead engineers Rufus Carlin of the time machine project using a prototype of the time machine to race back in time to stop Flynn from changing history. The only issue with season 1 was the premise change towards the end of the season like who is the bad guy/who are they trying to stop/who they are working with that leads you to question the premise for season 2. The hope is they clear up the confusion of how season 1 ended and the new mission of who is the bad guy they need to stop and why. Plus they keep going back into the past where black people never had it easy and one of the three main characters is black so it is hard to blend in and get around history with that being an issue. I don’t like the will they won’t they between Lucy and Wyatt the two main characters don’t always have to get together. People can be friends and fight to save the day. It is truly one of the best Sci-Fi shows on TV/ one of the best TV shows on and I am glad NBC realized their mistake and renewed it for season 2 even if its 10 episodes in the spring. If they can clearly reveal the premise for season 2 there is no doubt that NBC will be smart to renew it for a season 3.
Verdict: Renewed for season 3 and hopefully can be a long running Sci-Fi show for 5-7 years. Update: Cancelled.
AP-Bio: Glenn Howerton finally starts the lead in which will be his first sitcom to last more than one year that isn’t an ensemble of funny people like his days in Its Always in Sunny In Philadelphia. He stars as Jack Griffin as a disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar who lost his chance at tenure to his rival Miles Leonard and has to move back home to his parents home to teach AP Bio even though he doesn’t know anything about bio nor does he want to teach any. He realizes that a room of honor roll students could be useful so he uses them to finds way to take down his rival and get out of Toledo Ohio/get his tenure at Harvard. Patton Oswalt (King of Queens and Ratatouille) also stars the principal Ralph Durbin who tries his best to reign in Jack but at the same time wants his approval since he’s the cool principal which is one of the interesting things about the show, the relationship they have as employer and employee. Former SNL cast member/write Mike O’Brien who always had funny sketches even when he wasn’t even on SNL has created a very unique/original intriguing funny show that is even backed by the head of SNL Lorne Michaels and Seth Myers of SNL/Late Night. Plus it has a great theme song by the Ramones which is a lost art nowadays.
Verdict: Renewed for season 2 and hope it lasts as long as other sitcoms that were on NBC like Friends, 30 Rock and the Office Etc. Update: Renewed.
Champions: A unique but odd sitcom idea about a father who now is trying to be a father to his long lost son but with a twist.He isn’t lost and the mother told him she didn’t want him to be the father back then.Mindy Kaling of the Office and the Mindy Project wrote and executive produces while appearing as the mother in the show where the show is Indian based. She is Indian, her son is of course half Indian and the main character has a thing for dating Indian women hence his baby mama and his latest girlfriend. The lead is played by Anders Holm of Workaholics who takes over his father’s gym which is the 5thlargest gym in New York but gave up his dream of playing baseball professionally to help raise/support his younger brother when the father dies tragically. The mother left them years ago and his young brother was struggling in in public school so he needed his brother to pay for the fancy private school to help him. He lives and works with/his younger brother who is the idiot of the show/a child at heart. When his high school ex shows up with their son it ruins his idea of selling the gym and moving to Florida to start over. So he has to get the gym back, stay in NY, and oh yah raise a son he has nothing in common with/only met now. His son is only living with him in a two bed room apartment with three people since he needs a place to live since he got into a top acting school for high school kids but lives in Cleveland Ohio and Kaling is tired of single parenting it. It sometimes seems like a cheesy romantic comedy of the lead guy trying to win back his old high school girl friend but also try to be a great father by making up for lost time by trying to bond with a theater kid who doesn’t care for sports. The supporting cast that works in his gym each has other comedic credits such Yassir Lester of Making History, Fortune Feimster from The Mindy Project, and long time actor/voice actor Robert Costanzo famous for the animated Batman Series and many other shows. The hope is Kaling fixes the plot holes, the right combination of humor and with enough sincerity, to allow viewers to care about the characters, the odd quirks that don’t make sense and puts it in the right direction for a feel good story sitcom about a son and father brought together even if they have nothing in common. I am only giving the show a chance to correct itself out during its first year because of Holms’ acting seeing if he can be a lead after being a part of a trio of leads.
Verdict: Cancelled. It’s too clunky of a show they keep changing the premise/plot when we know it’s about him raising his kid but they always try to get away from that. It is better as a movie.
Marlon: Loosely based on his own life as a single dad of two that has his ex wife still in the picture and how they co-parent their own kids comes another successful project for one of the Wayans’ brothers, Marlon Wayans. Marlon’s character is social media mogul/owns his business has his own way to raise his own kids which is always is going to be different from his ex wife Ashley. The other characters are his daughter and son plus his ex sister in law who still doesn’t like him. But the feeling is mutual between him and his ex sister in law. The last main character Stevie is living with Marlon who looks like a college professor but doesn’t have a job and annoys Marlon all the time. If you’re looking to watch something cleverly written and with a good amount of jokes this is the show to laugh your butt off.
Verdict: Renewed for season 3. Since it is a summer show that already has a season 2 coming there would be no reason to cancel a successful summer show.
Midnight Texas: Young physic Manfred Bernado runs away from a crime boss trying to kill him since his dead grandmother owed him money. So he seeks refuge in Midnight Texas which is a small town where the concept of normal is relative and is haven for vampires, witches, psychics, hit men and others with extraordinary backgrounds. Midnight gives outsiders a place to belong. The town members form a strong and unlikely family as they work together to fend off the pressures of unruly biker gangs, questioning police officers and shades of their own dangerous pasts. The show is based off Charlaine Harris’ book series. One of his problems is he can see the dead so of course he can see his grandmother who goes for advice as well. The good thing about the show is each episode was building up towards the show’s final episode IE dealing with the bad guy once and for all. Manfred has a love interest Creek who is just a regular girl but most of the town isn’t since there is a black vampire Lem who doesn’t suck on your blood he just feeds off your energy. Lem’s love interest is an assassin, Fiji a young witch who owns a major shop, Bobo the human protector of the mythological people and owner the Pawn shop, the pastor Emilio who watches over all of them and the pet cemetery is also a weir-tiger. Last but not least is the fallen angel Joe who has prophesied darkness heading towards Midnight since it had happened before in time. Since it is based on a graphic novel that I never read I can say it is one the most interesting Sci-Fi shows on TV out there is also very original. You like the characters as you watch season 1 as they grow together and you hope more of their back stories are explained in season 2 since there really is no character you wouldn’t like. I have no idea where season 2 will start off based on where they left from the end of season 1 but if it’s as good as season 1 that is a good sign for them to pick up season 3.
Verdict: Renewed for season 3.
Rise: Inspired by a true story, a working-class community is awakened when its high school theater program takes on an unconventional new leader. As dedicated teacher and family man Lou Mazzuchelli takes over the lagging department, he encourages his students to unleash their creativity and explore new means of self-expression. But even though the students discover talents and ambitions they never knew they had, not everyone in town is thrilled. Upset by challenges brought by change, enraged faculty and skeptical parents contest Mr. Mazzu’s galvanizing efforts. But with passionate fervor running through the town’s veins, no one can deny a revolution is underway. Something about this show grabs you in and you can only just hang on for the ride. It makes you want to care about the kids in the show and how Mr. Mazzu wants to change the way the school looks at school plays but how you look at yourself or how you look at your town. Josh Radnor is the lead and if you remember him from “How I Met Your Mother” you can only root for him to succeed in his love life in that show so in this show he plays a very similar character going against all odds to put this show on his own terms not someone else’s. Maybe we all want to watch a show about the underdogs/the ones who shouldn’t try come out on top at the end but we all want to see a good story unfold over a season. The writing is great because it feels like every episode picks up right after the major thing happened in the last. It is not just a mundane thing where every episode he is just teaching these kids in his English class, no it is a long journey that goes from the beginning to the end. They put on this show against all odds and we all want to see them succeed no matter what. Mr. Mazzu is looking in you at what your best can be not just what you can be he can see the best in you even if you don’t. He is trying to get the best out of these kids that others wouldn’t do and we all wish we had a teacher or a mentor who saw that potential in you and encouraged you. It is sad NBC cancelled it after one season based on how you get to this type of show. That’s how cruel the TV world is cancelling good and keeping bad on the airwaves.
Verdict: Renewed. I want to see more attempts at different plays they try even if it’s with different students each season. Update: Cancelled.
ABC:
Deception: The world’s great illusionist Cameron Black’s career was ruined by a murder conviction of his secret twin brother who he has been doing magic with for years got set up for murder. In order to find the person responsible for framing his brother he teams up with FBI to catch the world’s most elusive criminals and solve crimes that seem to defy all explanation. He uses skills of deception, influence and illusion and he uses every trick at his disposal, inventing new ones as necessary to ensure he can get the FBI’s backing to look into his brothers framing with the help of his illusionist team. Jack Cutmore-Scott who is famous from playing Cooper Barrett in the short lived Fox series is playing both Cameron Black and his twin brother which is one of the problems I have. Playing both characters is not that smart or clever it’s hard to believe he has a twin even if they have different personalities. It reminds me of Lindsay Lohan in Parent trap not like the Olsen twins in Full House or the Sprouse brothers in Suite life. Outside of that the other flaws are like most freshmen shows trying to figure out if they really going further if they get a few seasons since the goal of season 1 is to find the woman who framed his brother/get his brother out of prison. The show reminds me of Limitless another FBI show with a female agent working with a male consultant with special skills but not a romantic relationship but one of those great partnerships. Another reason to like this show is the supporting cast is great and each has a purpose like Vinnie Jones playing the world’s greatest illusion builder, Dina his producer the person who essentially is in charge of everything and Jordan his tech guy. Kay Daniels and Cameron look like they have great chemistry in the show and that acting shouldn’t go unnoticed by Scott and Ilfenesh Hadera. The show also stars Amaury Nolascoof Prison Break fame who plays Kay’s real partner. The originality, casting and premise with all the cool special effects make it one of the better crime solving shows since there are too many that get stale, this is definitely a different one.
Verdict: I would renew it and see if it could go five years by seeing if it takes more than one season to catch the person behind all of the illusionist crimes and framing his brother or if they will change the mission each year. Update: Cancelled.
The Crossing: So the idea for this show seems like a good Sci-fi show people coming from the future from a holocaust/war to escape it but it has way too many genres blended into that even after watching four episodes, you can’t not decipher what kind of show it is and how far it will go. It has that Sci-fi element but it also has a crime solving element with local law enforcement where the main character Sherriff Judge comes into play and the homeland security agents including the main one Emma who is portrayed by Sandrine Holt (who was on MacGyver for one season among other credits). You also have the government conspiracy thing with we were not the first ones to cross over and those people are embedded in to the society that have altered history in hopes avoiding the war that happened 180 years into the future. You also have the premise of some of the people who crossed over that have superpowers like Reece who is played by Natalie Martinez of APB. It is also a show of about the reaming who crossed over on how they are going to survive and see if they can live a normal life. Plus it has the mother trying save her daughter and Jude’s strained relationship with his son based on his past as law enforcement officer. Maybe if you take one or two elements then maybe it could be a show or a movie but ABC took a chance since the creators of Lost made the show but I highly doubt it will get renewed or gets more episodes.
Verdict: Cancelled. Too confusing to figure out the plot, premise, the characters or where they want the show to go even if you watch five episodes. I feel bad for Martinez she has been a part of 5 shows before this as the lead that didn’t get more then 1 or 2 seasons. Update: Cancelled.
For The People: The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York — also known as the Mother Court — is the oldest district court in the nation, and the setting for the newest drama from the minds of Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Focusing on the lives and careers of the brand-new lawyers working for both the defense and the prosecution and handling some of the most high-profile and high-stakes federal cases in the country, “For the People” follows the talented professionals as their lives intersect both in and out of the courtroom. Britt Robinson of Tomorrowland, Longest Ride and other main roles in TV shows leads the group of young public defendants who think they can save anybody or win the cases because how can anyone put someone away? Both the prosecutors and public defendants report to their bosses who give them cases but also mentor them. Emmy and Tony nominated Hope Davis plays the mentor/boss of the defendants and she does more mentoring than the Ben Shenkman (of Law & Order and Royal Pains) who is all about the bottom line. When watching a courtroom show you only really care about the cases being tried and I like how it’s about these young people who starting at the beginning its not about a veteran lawyer where it’s the same old style every week. You want to see how they grow as lawyers by learning from their mistakes and how they grow or change as a person as the show progresses.
Verdict: Cancelled. Too many court room shows on TV if I want to root for Britt Robinson’s character. Update: Renewed.
Alex INC: Zach Braff stars in a new sitcom that doesn’t have to do with medicine. Based on the podcast “StartUp” from Gimlet Media, “Alex, Inc.” this follows Alex Schuman as he embarks on the adventure of starting his own podcasting company. Having already found success professionally, as a radio journalist who wants to do more important stories then puff pieces. So since Alex isn’t satisfied just coasting along and decides to do something crazy like quit his job and start over on his own terms despite being married with two children and is pushing 40. He quickly learns that building his own business isn’t going to be as easy as he thought, but the payoff will be rewarding. Michael Imperioli famously of The Sopranos stars as his cousin who has worked for Fortune 500 companies helps him by investing/running his company and a producer from his old job Deirdre Riordan comes over to help as well. The show has its laughs but it could be the writing or acting but it doesn’t have the same comedic feel that Braff had in Scrubs. The show is trying to be a slapstick comedy as Braff keeps injuring himself or a show about raising kids where you need to know what is up with his kids when the show should be about him and starting the company. Also he is playing a Jewish man but he is married to Indian women so his kids are half Indian but that never is brought up how they got together or why.Maybe I don’t like her acting either since it wasn’t spectacular in the Good Place that it made me go I need to see her more and have her a sitcom wife/mom. The subject matter of doing a podcast intrigues me since I got a degree in Radio-Journalism which is the character’s background but it never seemed to be the main interest even if that’s what the company was about. I root for Zach Braff always but this might have been a mistake to make this his return to acting for TV. Hope we see him again on TV again.
Verdict: Cancelled. The show seemed to be all over the place in types of show it was trying to be (family comedy or work comedy) and you lose interest in the main idea but not many laughs as well for a sitcom. The only positive thing was the kid who plays his son (Elisha Henig) has a future in acting since his story lines were always the funniest. Update: Cancelled.
Spiting up Together: So most sitcoms about a family/raising one is always is about a loving relationship between the parents but not this one. This one is about a divorced couple raising the kids without the hateful relationship between spouse and resentment from the children. Ellen DeGeneres serves as executive producer of this comedy that is based on a Danish series of the same name. Lena (Jenna Fischer from the Office) and Martin(Oliver Hudson of Nashville and Rules of Engagement-Son of Goldie Hawn) realized their marriage was over but didn’t want to go through the complicated untangling involved in filing for divorce so they devise a plan to raise the 3 kids they have without the bad parts of split custody. The plan is one lives in the house that deals with parenting and alternating weeks, while the other parent lives as a single person who stays in the garage apartment in back of the house. The garage-dwelling, “single” partner is free to date while having no responsibilities in the house or for the children. The “parent” partner is free to preside over the house and family as he or she deems best. Often the insight they gain allows them to see why their spouse felt unhappy in the marriage thus helping them to improve as a person. This increasingly improved person they become also becomes slightly more alluring to their ex-spouse making their complete separation seem less likely. Each kid has the typical problems of kids their age like the daughter being stuck in home full of guys being outnumbered, the older son dealing with girls and school and youngest just being the youngest. They also have a single aunt who spends lots of time with them who is played by Dianne Farr and a married couple who doesn’t know who to be friends with in the divorce. I would say this show is a very unique or original idea but it was already done overseas. But ABC tends to have the same type of family sitcoms or stupidly brought back Rosanne because they had no original ideas this is more original then anything on American TV. Also, you like rooting for the couple to eventually to get back together so if it gets a long run like 5 years, is the only way to end the show what we already know? Also Hudson and Fischer are good actors who grow to like in roles based on good chemistry not the typical divorced parents who hate each other’s guts.
Verdict: Renewed. It could be a long running sitcom but I don’t know how long you can drag on this premise without them getting back together. Update: Renewed.
CW:
Black Lighting: The DC live action universe on the CW has now expanded to five superhero shows. Black Lightning is DC Comics’ second African American superhero and the first black hero in DC to get his own show who is played by Cress Williams (Prison Break and Friday Night Lights). The show isn’t an origin story like the Flash or Arrow nor is it in his heyday of being a superhero like Supergirl or Legends of Tomorrow, it has taken a different route. He is now the principal of a high school and hasn’t been Black Lighting in 9 years divorced with two kids. He retired from being a hero since it wasn’t helping out his marriage or raising his kids. He worked his way up the teaching ranks to be principal since he viewed that was the best way to save the community. The show starts off with him coming out of retirement only because the local gang “The 100” kidnaps his daughters but sees how bad the community is in from the 100 that he goes back to being Black Lighting. The season deals with his struggles going back to being a hero with his estranged wife, children and how to balance his day job with his night job. He also goes back to working with Peter Gambi his mentor who helped him hone his powers and trained him when he was just starting off being a hero back in the day. Another twist is he has to deal with his daughters developing powers(which is all based on the comics) but the main goal is to stop the 100 for good and take down his old nemesis Tobias an albino black guy who he thought had died in the past. Like all superhero shows in their freshmen season they have some issues that usually got solved once we all get into a rhythm of how the show works. Arrow is about stopping crime bosses-non major DC villains, Flash is about stopping bad super powered beings and Legends is about stopping people from changing the time line. This show is trying to fit the demographic of the show/character but is also trying to fit other avenues. We will see how season 1 ends before making a final judgment. We hope the attempt at making this show was a good idea or not but it has been a good experiment so far. The only thing I don’t like is the typical CW worrying about whose dating who and having to worry about it every episode. The oldest daughter is a medical student, a teacher at her father’s school, an activist and a superhero by night we don’t need to see who she’s dating or her love life, the show is about Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lighting. Verdict: Renewed since CW did renew all of the superhero shows.
Update: Renewed.
Fox:
Star: Another Lee Daniel’s music drama about musicians and the business of music but this one centers around three young women trying to make it in the music industry. The star of the show is Star who has been in and out of foster homes after his signing mother died from drugs who sets out to find her half sister Simone who is also has been in foster homes. They pair up with another talented girl who Star meets online named Alex Crain whose father happens to be a famous musician in his own right played by Lenny Kravitz. They are based out of Atlanta which is where Starr and Alex’s mom former music partner Carlotta Brown lives and runs a hair salon. They live there, work at the salon and work out on their music together and most songs are written by Alex. They are trying to make it big by getting a contract with a studio and have to deal with the typical drama of the music business, a shady manager named Jahil played by Benjamin Bratt, romances, custody battles and murders. Their ultimate goal is to have a record deal, make albums and tour the world. Update: They get a record deal in Season 2 but have to deal with all the problems and responsibilities on being a recording label plus the infighting between the band mates in the band. I should expect all of the unneeded drama, dating and characters who don’t deserve air time but this show is sometimes trying too hard to be dramatical when all we care is about the music they make, hearing their music and the growing as musicians and being successful throughout a show’s growth. They sometimes take too many steps backwards and have to work hard to get back to where they were previously. Plus I don’t care about Queen Latifah’s son/daughter’s drama or about Jahil when he isn’t even their manager anymore.
Verdict: Cancelled. I personally enjoy the music, the actors in the show and the show as a whole but I don’t want to say every show deserves to be renewed just because I like it since some shows aren’t the best. This show has lots of problems but since it is only half way through season 2 we will have to wait and see. Plus Fox is not going to cancel its follow up show after Empire unless the ratings are so bad and if they don’t cancel it this year it will probably be on as long as Empire stays on. Update: Renewed.
9-1-1: Now this one of the best shows I have ever seen and maybe because of the suspense in every scene or episode and the all-star cast. Now you can say there are too many Cop/firefighter shows on TV but none are nowhere near this first responder type of show even if they are other first responder shows. For each character they took the time to create a genuine great back story and personal story of their current life. That takes into effect when telling every week’s episode without dragging the episode down. The show draws from real-life, high-pressure experiences of emergency response providers who regularly face heart-stopping situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time. Any show lead by Angela Bassett as a detective, Peter Krause fire captain and Connie Britton as the 9-1-1 operator already is going to be good before you even watch it. It broke records for series premiers in Fox history and has already been renewed for season 2 with possible spinoffs.
So my Verdict is an obviously Renew. Update: Renewed.
LA-Vegas: In a long line of half hour sitcoms on Fox that have been put on Tuesday or Sunday it has so far kept the attention of mine because it supposed to be stupid but funny and makes you laugh which is the point of a sitcom. There is no need to take this show seriously because the show is and some of the characters are over the top stupid or crazy in their own little way. The series follows the lives of crew and passengers of a Jackpot Airlines that makes regular Friday-to-Sunday getaway flights from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. The stories revolve around recurring themes of hope and disappointment. The show stars Dylan McDermott who is a former Air-Force pilot who is the captain of the flights, and your typical guy who thinks he is the best/cool but is really still getting over the pain of his divorces, so he puts up a façade. His co-pilot is really dumb and seems like a little kid sometimes. The show also centers around flight attendant Ronnie and her life choices that made her be an over-working flight attendant on a low run airline and has to deal with all the different personalities of the co-workers and passengers. She has to put up with Captain Dave’s antics, her co flight attendant Bernard an older black guy (who (we know is gay but doesn’t talk about it like some do in shows), who barely works, and the passengers like Artem a child dentist who is also a shady/creepy bookie, the stripper Nicole, and British single dad professor at UCLA who takes the airline to see his kid over the week and their will they/ won’t they romance.
Verdict: Renewed but for a limited amount of episodes. It is a good sign they kept it in its time slot and pushed Brooklyn 99 back to Sundays so it can stay on for the rest of the spring. So it can be on for a few years, if a show like the Mick has had two seasons you never know with FOX/if they ever make it three hour programming at night. Update: Cancelled.
The Resident: This freshman medical drama is nowhere near emotionally uplifting of a back-story and fight to be recognized like ABC’s medical drama The Good Doctor (about the Autistic Dr) but is it a close 2nd for the correct amount of drama (romance), suspense, action, conflict, not showing all medical procedures close up, and intrigue into the life of resident in a hospital. It centers all around Dr Conrad Hawkins who has the personality of someone who wants to save the world and actually listens/cares to what is best for the patients and is played really well by Matt Czuchry that you can’t help but root for him every episode to save every one. But the show decided to not have the show start when he just begins, it shows him as a senior resident who has a long track record of being the guy who you root for since he knows all the regular patients, has been in the trenches long enough to know what the right thing is, and he can pass those things along to the new resident Dr Devon Pravesh. He is the wide eyed Harvard medical student who thinks everything is in a textbook and everything is all rainbows since they are things people don’t know about, how things are really run in hospitals. Conrad has to teach him to navigate not just from what he learned in school but to blend it with real life situations and not always trust your first intuition about it and that this hospital is mostly about making money, so how to navigate through the bureaucracy of the medical world. The nurse practitioner is on and off again girl friend Nic who like is trying to save the world but also knows the same cold hard truth about the medical business and she does things some times that could cost her job to save the patients. The other new resident Dr. Mina Okafor out of Africa is a gifted surgical genius but she doesn’t have the other aspect of being a good doctor the bed side manner and dealing with people/feelings. She butts head with the Chief of surgery Randolph Bell played by Bruce Greenwood on how to do surgeries or which one she wants to do since she thinks she can do everyone without fail. Conrad also has been butting heads with Dr Bell since Conrad wants to save everyone but Bell has to think what is best for the hospital’s bottom line dictated by the head of hospital’s bottom line. They are other doctors that each has their own story that fits well into the story lines as well.
Verdict: Renewed for Season 2. If Fox lets this show grow it can be the network’s ER or Grey’s Anatomy but without it being too big of an ensemble cast since the show’s strength is Conrad, Nic and Devon the three main characters. Question is what night it will be on since it is in the Lucifer-Gifted/former Gotham time slot. Update: Renewed.
