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 of your nights indoors during the fall and winter months, Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with the shows that we’re excited for this season. So get wrapped up with a cozy blanket and a cup of hot tea while you settle in for a TV-packed season.

Chicago Justice (Sundays on NBC)

Our hearts were won over by the firefighters and EMTs at Firehouse 51. After we met a team of detectives, including not-so-bad Sgt. Hank Voight, Chicago P.D. premiered in 2014. Last year, a group of nurses and doctors in Chicago became the much loved Chicago Med, resulting in exciting crossovers with all our Chicago favorites. In winter 2017, NBC will add Chicago Justice to the lineup. We got to see a few of the Chicago lawyers on Chicago P.D. last year and this season we’ll get to officially meet the team of prosecutors and investigators. Dick Wolf has developed quite the production with his Chicago-based series that interweave and has the ability to take us from the original crime (typically arson), to the investigation (by the Intelligence Unit ran by Voight), to the survivors and the victims (shown through our team of doctors), and now through the final end 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 time and our hearts leaped at the thought of Jack Bauer coming back into our televisions. But alas, as the preview says, it is a new day and we have a new hero. Kiefer Sutherland will be an executive producer for the premiere, but our new hero is Eric Carter, portrayed by Corey Hawkins, a military hero arriving home to the USA with trouble right behind him. He comes to CTU (yes, it’s back!) for help saving his life, while of course stopping a terrorist attack. The remake of an old favorite will follow the same 24 hour, one episode equals one hour, structure as before so maybe we can look forward to the awesome countdowns each commercial break.

 

Designated Survivor (Wednesdays on ABC)

Just when the devastation sinks in because you won’t be seeing Jack Bauer in the 24 reboot, your hopes are back because he’ll be back in our lives with a new show and on this show, instead of protecting the president, he is the president. For Designated Survivor, Kiefer Sutherland portrays Tom Kirkman, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who becomes the president after an explosion claims the lives of everyone in front of him in the Presidential line of succession. He’s back, baby!

 

This Is Us (Tuesdays on ABC)

If you were a fan of Parenthood, analysts say this show is for you. This Is Us follows a group of people who are linked by the fact that they share the same birthday. Rebecca (depicted by Mandy Moore) and Jack (portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia) are a married couple getting ready to have three babies on Jack’s 36^th birthday. Randall (depicted by Sterling K. Brown who just earned 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 resolve whether or not he should make contact with his father who abandoned him when he was born. Kate (played by Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (portrayed by Justin Hartley) are twins who are spending their 36^th birthday grappling with their unfulfilled lives, with Kate trying to change her eating habits and Kevin dissatisfied with his current job.
