So, I love doing in depth looks at the Fall TV Season. I usually
have graphics and descriptive content with tight formatting. Thanks to Covid,
that’s all blown to hell. Networks are doing slow rollouts, streaming services
are filling the gaps, and changes keep happening. So I thought I would just
cover September 27 to October 31. Let’s keep it simple. Here’s what I’ll
probably be watching this month. (The aqua titles have links attached.)
