2020 Fall TV Preview - October

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.)

It’s their 32^nd season. Have watched every episode so far. Why stop.
