As the Arrowverse fades away, the new, general audience, Nexstar TV Not to Blog/Tweet/Post/Talk About CW to take shape--here we go:
Monday 8-9 p.m. – TRIVIAL PURSUIT--This is the third time that the trivia board game has had an attempted television version. Back in 1993 when Freeform was the Family Channel, Wink Martindale fronted and produced a version with an interactive element and in 2008 syndication "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays," with the gimmick of people on the street reading the questions and hosted by Peter Bra--Christopher Knight, bombed. Well, let's try it again and give LeVar Burton retribution for not getting the "Jeopardy!" gig. From Lionsgate, who recently acquired from Hasbro, the makers of the game, eOne. 9-10 p.m. – SCRABBLE--It's the game you've played all your life, but never quite like this. And the fourth time around for this franchise--after figuring out that a faithful Scrabble on television would be boring as hell, Grundy Productions came up with a version using the game board design and featuring cleverly-written clues that ran for six years in NBC daytime and returned for a brief reprise in 1993, hosted by Chuck Woolery. And in 2011 the Hub (now DIscovery Family) tried "Scrabble Showdown," an attempt at a little more faithful version (but still with a round similar to the 80s series). We'll see what this version, hosted by Raven-Symone, is. Also from Lionsgate. Tuesday 8-10 p.m. – WWE NXT (the WWE's development program moves from USA Network) Wednesday 8-9 p.m. – “Sullivan’s Crossing” 9-10 p.m. – JOAN--Sophie Turner of "Game of Thrones" plays an London 80s mom turned jewel thief and mob chieftain in this show co-produced by ITV, All3Media and the CDub that will air on ITV's streamer ITVX sometime this year. Thursday 8-9 p.m. – “Superman & Lois" (pour one out for the end of the Arrowverse) 9-10 p.m. – THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER--From the blue sky procedural days of TNT, the supernatural thriller returns to television after six years. Noah Wyle is involved as a producer, we're not sure if he's in the series. Friday 8-8:30 p.m. – “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (repearts) 8:30-9 p.m. – “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (new episodes) 9-10 p.m. – “Inside the NFL” Saturday Sport. Sunday 7-10 p.m. - Movies And mid-season: GOOD COP/BAD COP--In a small Pacific Northwest town (with Australia standing in), a sibling detective team (one of them Leighton Meester) are at odds with the weird townsfolk and their dad the police chief (Clancy Brown). WIll also appear on the Roku Channel and Nine Network's Aussie streamer Stan. SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER--Yay public domain! In the second Holmes-related show to premiere this season, David Thewlis plays the legendary detective, assisted by the daughter he didn't know he had. Maybe if you stopped snorting the coke, Sherlock... That's it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
