The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

NBC, Fox, ABC, PBS, CW, and CBS tonight (March 12, 2026) will add 22 new shows to their primetime lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion. (All Times Eastern.)

The Hunting Party (New Episode)
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 10 p.m.
Who’s In It: Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler
The Hunting Party, whose first season has been climbing the most-viewed show charts at Netflix, tonight airs a new second season episode: Bex (Melissa Roxburgh, pictured above) hunts down a ‘twisted neuroscientist’ (twisted neuroscientist? Is there any other kind?) named Sidney Fairfax who mutilates the brains of his victims. So he not only kills them, he kills their brains? No wonder this show is doing well on Netflix, the welcoming home of TV serial killers everywhere.

Ghosts (New episode)
Where to Watch: CBS 
When to Watch: 8:30 p.m.
Who’s In It: Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkarm
The charming comedy features a couple (Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkarm) whose new house came with the ghosts of past inhabitants. Talk about unwanted conveying. (Real estate agents will get that one.) In tonight’s new episode, Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky) regains her ability to converse with the living on St. Patrick’s Day.

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 new episode, CIA agent Rick (Parker Young) returns to meddle with the base and Captain Maggie (Taylor Misiak).
