The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

NBC, Fox, CBS, ABC, and The CW tonight (February 9, 2026) will add 13 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 four, Dempsey’s Angelo the hitman hunts down ‘The Ferryman,’ a mysterious criminal who ordered a hit on his daughter, Maria. Talk about rubbing out the competition.

American Idol (New episode)
Where to Watch: ABC
What Kind of Show: Reality/Competition
Who’s In It: Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, Ryan Seacrest
Tonight, the celebrity judges will preside over part three of the opening round auditions with the wannabes including an Alabama soul singer who goes by the name, Trew TheStar. Not shy are we, Trew?

Primetime In Milan
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
Who’s In It: Athletes!
NBC’s exclusive primetime coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics continues tonight with highlights and recorded performances from Speed Skating, Alpine Skating, Snowboarding and Figure Skating. Both Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding will be medal events so be careful of spoilers today!
