The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and The CW tonight (February 12, 2026) will add 14 shows to their lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion. (All Times Eastern.)

Primetime In Milan
What Kind of Show: Sports
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
NBC’s exclusive primetime coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics continues tonight with highlights and recorded events from Hockey, Snowboarding, Luge, Freestyle Skiing, Speed Skating and, last and probably least, Curling. If you didn’t get a chance to watch earlier today on Peacock – because, well, maybe you are gainfully employed? – this is a great way to catch up. Just be careful of spoilers from those who love to spoil.

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, entitled, ‘The Canuck Stops Here,’ which I think is a slur in at least four Canadian provinces, General Martin (Kristen Johnston) arrives on base and the colonel develops an immediate attraction to her.

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
Where to Watch: CBS
When to Watch: 11:35 p.m.
Who’s In It: Stephen Colbert, Bernie Sanders, Lucinda Williams
Now that CBS has deemed that Stephen Colbert’s last show will be May 21, the righteous raconteur is aiming to book every favored politician on before he exits stage, well, stage left, of course. Tonight, Colbert welcomes the cantankerous but always entertaining Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont. Country blues artist Lucinda Williams will also join Colbert and warble a few tunes. Enjoy!
