NBC announced two renewals last week. St Denis Medical and Happy's Place were both renewed for a third season. No real surprise for either show. They are both highlights amid a recent drought of good comedies for the network. The One Chicago shows bounced back last week. Chicago Med was up three hundred thousand viewers. Fire picked up two hundred thousand viewers, and PD gained four hundred thousand additional viewers over the previous week. Law & Order was up one hundred thousand viewers. Law & Order: SVU was even. Brilliant Minds returned after a week off, picking up two hundred thousand viewers.

The 2026 Winter Olympics open Friday, February 6. NBC will have evening coverage throughout the Games, and its schedule will be scrambled as a result. Expect the other networks to air more repeats and avoid any major schedule conflicts.
Written by LadyShelley on Feb 4, 2026
Best Medicine has been one of the highlights for the network this season. I fully expect it will be renewed.
As much as I like Michael Imperioli, Memory of a Killer is not a show I'm likely to watch.
As much as I like Michael Imperioli and Patrick Dempsey, Memory of a Killer might not be a show I keep up with after this week’s episode. It’s a bit “meh” for me. I’m still enjoying Best Medicine.
