I hope it gets a new home. I think there is still something there, but they’ve gotta get Amy out of uniform and back in with the detectives. It’s not working for me.
…and it has
NBC has announced a special edition of America’s Got Talent which will air in the US in the northern winter. America’s Got Talent: The Champions will feature notable acts from previous seasons along with acts from some of the other global versions of “Got Talent” series returning to compete against each other. I assume that will include the Australian version which was on Seven then Nine.

I think putting all the Chicago shows together on one night is a mistake. It could cause format fatigue and tire people out, thus cutting the life of each show.
Poor Law and Order SVU gets another new timeslot in its 20th year. I suppose that’s what happens when you’re so successful for so long, you get moved around to fill holes knowing a reliable audience will almost always follow.
New Amsterdam and Manifest look like good fits out of Voice and This is Us. But so did Rise and it didn’t do well after TIU.
I am surprised they kept the comedy line-up as is. I thought it was underperforming but NBC has seems to now prefer quality content and audiences over mass eyeballs in comedy.
