The  TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and the CW tonight (February 2, 2026) will add 15 new shows to their lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion. (All Times Eastern.)

Memory Of a Killer (New Episode)
Where to Watch: Fox
When to Watch: 9 p.m.
What Kind of Show: Drama
Who’s In It: Patrick Dempsey, Michael Imperioli
Patrick Dempsey stars as a hitman in the early stages of Alzheimer’s in this new buzzy drama from Fox. Dempsey, perhaps best known as the ‘sexiest man alive’ from his turn in the soapy Grey’s Anatomy, gets a chance to show his serious acting chops here. Michael Imperioli, who played Christopher in The Sopranos, supports as the hitman’s employer and longtime friend. In tonight’s new episode, number three, Dempsey’s Angelo gets orders to kill an Internal Affairs officer who threatens to bring down their whole operation.

St. Denis Medical (New episode)
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
What Kind of Show: Comedy
Who’s In It: Allison Tolman, David Alan Grier
The medical mockumentary proves that laughter is the best medicine thanks to a solid cast including David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman (Fargo) and Kaliko Kauahi. Tonight in a new episode, Alex (Tolman) questions Val’s (Kauahi) return from jury duty. (This is season two. You can catch past episodes on Peacock.)

Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials
Where to Watch: CBS
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
What Kind of Show: Humor/Variety
Who’s In It: Nate Burleson, Daniela Ruah
It’s Super Bowl week so get ready for 6,898 shows about the big game and everything related to it. By example, CBS doesn’t have the rights to the game this year (NBC does) but that’s not stopping it from airing this special on past Super Bowl commercials, the real reason why 43 percent of the nation actually tune in. (I’m making up these numbers, in case you have figured that out.) Nate Burleson and Daniela Ruah will host the show which will allow the viewers to choose their favorite ads of all time.
