The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

CBS, ABC, Fox, CW and NBC tonight (January 29, 2026) are adding 17 shows to their lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

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) hunts down a masseuse (Elizabeth Gillies) who breaks the necks of her clients. Call her, The Kneading Killer! If you’re intrigued by The Hunting Party, Peacock has the entire first season ready to binge. And hold the phone! Just got word that Netflix will add the first season on February 15! Serial killers, man. Netflix just couldn’t resist. (Featured image above of Melissa Roxburgh in The Hunting Party.)

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, Kate Walsh
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: Kate Walsh is back as Addison Montgomery and she’s bringing a big neurological problem with her. Plus, the crew goes on a ride-along with a paramedic car.

Going Dutch (New Episode)
Where to Watch: Fox
When to Watch: 9:30 p.m.
Who’s In It: Denis Leary, Joe Morton, Kristen Johnston
Denis Leary stars as a U.S. army colonel who’s hired to bring order and discipline to a band of military outcasts in the Netherlands. It’s the perfect vehicle for Leary’s abrasive style of humor. Tonight’s episode: The squad prepares to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday but General Davidson (Joe Morton) has other plans.
