You have questions. I have some answers.
What happened to the TV program “So Help Me Todd”?
First, the series will begin a new season on Feb. 15, the same night that “Young Sheldon” and “Ghosts” resume on CBS. That’s part of a CBS series premiere week kicking off after the Super Bowl on Feb. 11, including “NCIS” on Feb. 12 and the three “FBI” series on Feb. 13.
The late start for this and other shows is, as I have mentioned, the result of the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes, which delayed production and release of movies and TV shows. Programs are beginning to return, although the returns will stretch out over several months.
For example, NBC has already started a new season of “Night Court,” its “Chicago” series all resume on Wednesday and the “Law & Order” bundle starts anew on Thursday. ABC begins a new run of “The Bachelor” on Jan. 22 but will not have a new season of “Abbott Elementary” until Feb. 7, “American Idol” on Feb. 18, and “Grey’s Anatomy” on March 14.
Just to add to your viewing confusion, “9-1-1,” which had been on Fox, begins its latest season on ABC on March 14 while its companion series, “9-1-1 Lone Star,” is still on Fox but reportedly won’t have new episodes until fall 2024. (For now, you can find “Lone Star” lead Rob Lowe as host of the Fox game show “The Floor.”)
