NBC 2019 fall schedule: The Blacklist returns, The Good Place moves

Today, NBC officially revealed their fall schedule for the 2019 TV season, and much of it will feel familiar. While there are some subtle shifts, this is clearly a network that is proud of what they’re doing right now and feels no ENORMOUS need to suddenly start rearranging chairs.

We’ll be back to break everything down in just a moment but, before getting there, let’s share the official schedule. (Note that all times listed are Eastern Standard; adjust accordingly for where you are in the world.)

Big takeaways

The most notable one is perhaps how little is different from last fall, save for Manifest being held for midseason while Bluff City Law takes its place in that timeslot. Also, it’s interesting that NBC is basically giving up on Friday nights at 9:00 p.m. after trying some different things there. The Blacklist is permanently moving and taking over the 8:00 p.m. spot previously held by Blindspot, which is going to be apparently saved until midseason for its final batch of episodes.

Also, The Good Place shifts to a new timeslot, and we’re somewhat surprised to see New Amsterdam and Law & Order: SVU in the same timeslots. Crazy as it may seem, but we entertained an idea in our head of these shows keeping the same timeslots.
