PBS, ABC, Fox, CW, NBC and CBS tonight (March 8, 2026) will add 20 new shows to their primetime lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion. (All Times Eastern.)

 

Marshals (New episode)
What Kind of Show: Drama/Western
Where to Watch: CBS
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
Who’s In It: Luke Grimes, Gil Birmingham
The latest Yellowstone spin-off, Marshals, stars Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, a former Navy Seal and rancher who joins the U.S. Marshals to protect Montana. Grimes was a popular player on Yellowstone so not surprisingly the Marshals’ premiere was a ratings hit last Sunday. Tonight, in episode two, titled, ‘Zone of Death,’ Kayce investigates a domestic terrorist plot and country singer Ashley Cooke will guest star.

 

60 Minutes (New episode)
What Kind of Show: TV News Magazine
Where to Watch: CBS
When to Watch: 7 p.m.
If you’re 60 Minutes, and you’re going to interview the Secretary of War, there’s only one appropriately named correspondent for the job: Major Garrett! Yes, the Major tonight will quiz the head of the Armed Forces, Pete Hegseth, on the latest on Operation Epic Fury. (And, no, he’s not a real Major; that’s his name. Major. For real.)

 

NBA Basketball: Houston at San Antonio
What Kind of Show: Live Basketball
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
If you’ve never watched San Antonio’s 7’4” Victor Wembanyama, do tune in. He’s one of the most exciting and versatile players to come in the league in years, scoring 23.7 points a game with 11.2 rebounds and displaying ball skills of someone a foot shorter. Houston is led by forward Kevin Durant who’s pumping in 26.1 points per contest.
