The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS and the CW tonight (January 15, 2026) will add 18 shows and episodes to their lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion: (All times Eastern.)

The Hunting Party (New Episode)
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 10 p.m.
Who’s In It: Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler
How’s this for a premise? The world’s most dangerous serial killers escape from a top-secret prison and a special force is tasked to catch each one before they kill again. How did Netflix miss this one?! The Hunting Party tonight airs a new episode: Bex (Melissa Roxburgh) pursues a killer who preserves his victims like insects in acrylic resin. Now that would bug the heck out of me. (I know this sounds ridiculous but the show has somehow achieved a mini-cult following. If you’re intrigued, Peacock has the entire first season ready to binge.)

Hell’s Kitchen (New Episode)
Where to Watch: Fox
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
Who’s In It: Gordon Ramsay
Everyone’s favorite screaming chef, Gordon Ramsay, is getting serious tonight. This is the next-to-the-last episode of season 24 and he must eliminate one of the remaining cooking contestants (Ellie, Jada and Cydni) before next week’s finale! Will those salty scallops be the end for Cydni?

Grey’s Anatomy (New Episode)
Where to Watch: ABC
When to Watch: 10 p.m.
Who’s In It: Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, Anthony Hill, Jason George, 
Grey’s Anatomy is now in season 22 and the staff is looking a bit gray themselves. But the longest-running medical drama still packs a punch. Tonight’s new episode features a familiar guest star: Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow from The Sopranos, and countless drug advertisements) as a urologic oncologist. The part was written for Sigler (pictured above) whose character suffers MS; the actress is a real-life victim of the disease.
