Get Excited for These New Shows This Season

The weather is starting to cool down but primetime television is heating up! Since you will probably be spending more evenings in your home during the upcoming months, Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with the series that we’re looking forward to this season. So get ready to curl up with a fuzzy blanket and a cup of hot tea while you settle in for a TV-packed fall.

Chicago Justice (Sundays on NBC)

It all started with our favorite firefighters and EMTs at Firehouse 51. Then after a few new characters popped up, including originally-hated-now-loved Sgt. Hank Voight, Chicago P.D. was officially on the air. Last year, a crew of MDs and nurses in Chicago became the well-received Chicago Med, creating exciting crossovers with all our Chicago shows. In winter 2017, the network will add Chicago Justice to the schedule. We were introduced to a few of the newcomers on Chicago P.D. last spring and this January we’ll get to know the team of prosecutors and investigators. Dick Wolf has developed quite the showing with the Chicago-based series that interlace and has the ability to take us from the original crime (typically arson), to the investigation (including the Intelligence Unit ran by Voight), to the ones lucky to live and the ones who are unlucky (shown through our team of doctors), and now through the final conclusion where our new heroes will seek justice.

 

24: Legacy (Sundays on FOX)

When FOX announced a 24 reboot, we could actually hear the “beep, beep, beep” counting down the seconds and our hearts jumped at the thought of Jack Bauer coming back into our televisions. Yet, as the show says, it is a new day and we have a new hero. Kiefer Sutherland is going to be an executive producer for at least the first episode, but our new hero is Eric Carter, portrayed by Corey Hawkins, a military hero returning to the U.S. with trouble on his heels. He goes to CTU (yes, it’s back!) for help saving his life, while of course hindering a terrorist attack. The update of an old favorite will follow the same 24 hour, one hour = one episode, format as before so we are hoping we can look forward to the epic countdowns each commercial break.

 

Designated Survivor (Wednesdays on ABC)

Just when you dry your tears over the fact that you won’t be seeing Kiefer Sutherland in the 24 reboot, your hopes are restored because he’ll be back in our lives with a new show and now, instead of helping the president, he is the president. For Designated Survivor, Kiefer Sutherland depicts Tom Kirkman, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who becomes the president after an explosion eliminates everyone above him in the Presidential line of succession. Get excited!

 

This Is Us (Tuesdays on ABC)

If you miss Parenthood, analysts say this is the show for you. This Is Us follows a group of people who are linked by the fact that they celebrate the same birthday. Rebecca (played by Mandy Moore) and Jack (portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia) are a couple getting ready to have three babies on Jack’s 36^th birthday. Randall (portrayed by Sterling K. Brown who just won an Emmy for his depiction of Christopher Darden in The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story) is a man celebrating his 36^th birthday trying to decide whether or not he should meet his father who abandoned him the day he was born. Kate (depicted by Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (depicted by Justin Hartley) are twins who are spending their 36^th birthday grappling with their unsatisfied lives, with Kate focusing on changing her eating habits and Kevin disappointed with his current job.
