With the fall 2015 television season about to kick into high gear, we present a handy calendar that encompasses all the premiere dates and times for your favorite shows.
Despite a summer of bountiful — if not amazing — television, there is no other time in the calendar year quite like the traditional fall television debut. These few weeks when the weather cools down, football begins and our favorite shows make their return to the cutthroat ratings race with new episodes.
This is Hypable’s official master calendar of shows on network television (NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and the CW) and the select few cable shows that Hypable covers. Each week starting next Monday, for the next month or so, we’ll be publishing ‘What to watch this week’ posts. In these, we’ll breakdown the shows premiering for the week and a brief synopsis of each.
Already, this week sees the debut of a few hotly anticipated shows, most notably The Mindy Project‘s first season on Hulu as an original series and The Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris both premiere tomorrow.
An interested trend that we noticed more-so this season than in past years, many shows have a special premiere episode. Whether it be an extended episode (an hour to two hours), or a launch on a new night, you might notice duplicate shows listed on the calendar. This is to reflect the anomalies and explain out what is the special time, and what is the regular timeslot it will be on for the rest of the season.
We also have noticed too that this year, premiere dates seem to be more spread out than usual. As you can see, yes, the rest of September is high-time for show returns and debuts, but this year it bleeds a little bit into October and November more. Then, of course, we have all of the mid-season shows that will kick off in December and January. Basically, there are shows premiering year-round now. And we aren’t complaining.
