ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, and The CW tonight (March 13, 2026) will add 17 new shows to their primetime lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion. (All Times Eastern.)

World Baseball Classic: United States vs. Canada
Where to Watch: Fox (8 p.m.)
Who’s In It: Aaron Judge, Logan Webb, Michael Soroka
The USA team has officially made it to the quarterfinals (quick, someone tell USA skipper Mark DeRosa) and tonight will face Canada in a border grudge match. San Francisco’s Logan Webb is set to start for the USA while Arizona’s Michael Soroka will take the ball for Canada. This is a single-elimination game with the winner facing the winner of the Dominican Republic-South Korea game in the semifinals. (Hopefully, Mr. DeRosa will be suitably briefed.)

20/20 (New episode)
What Kind of Show: True Crime
Where to Watch: ABC
When to Watch: 9 p.m.
The investigative team at 20/20 will get two hours tonight to report on the murder of a California wine entrepreneur who was brutally slain in her bedroom. Turns out, the crime was ultimately solved by local police using the same technology (geofencing) used to determine whether a sporting event should be blacked out in your area. Not kidding.

Stumble (New episode – Season One Finale) 
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8:30 p.m.
Who’s In It: Taran Killam, Jenn Lyon
Did you like The Office? Parks and Recreation? Then you will probably like Stumble, a mockumentary-style comedy about a cheerleading team at a West Texas junior college. The talented cast includes former SNL cast member Taran Killam as a local college football coach and Jenn Lyon as the cheerleading coach. In tonight’s new episode, the season finale, the team faces off against Sammy Davis Jr. College for the championship!
