The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

ABC, CBS, PBS, FOX, NBC and The CW tonight (March 23, 2026) will add 18 shows. 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 (pictured above) 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 eight, Dempsey’s Angelo discovers the identity of the mysterious Ferryman. Plus, his pal, Joe (Richard Harmon), undergoes what the episode description calls, “a life altering” experience. When you’re friends with a hit man, you probably don’t want a life altering experience. Just saying.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (New episode)
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8:30 p.m.
What Kind of Show: Comedy
Who’s In It: Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe, Heidi Gardner, Bobby Moynihan
Tracy Morgan (30 Rock) stars as a former pro football player who was banned from the sport for gambling on his team. He hires a blacklisted director (Daniel Radcliffe) to produce a documentary on him to restore his image. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, which also features a strong supporting cast including SNL’s Heidi Gardnerand Bobby Moynihan and The Office’s Craig Robinson, is very funny and a great showcase for Morgan. If you liked 30 Rock, you’ll like this show. Tonight in episode six, one of Reggie’s favorite football memorabilia disappears. Uh, oh, I see more OJ jokes coming tonight.

DMV (New episode) 
Where to Watch: CBS
When to Watch: 8:30 p.m.
Who’s In It: Harriet Dyer, Tim Meadows, Leslie Jones
It’s hard to believe that a workplace comedy about a motor vehicles department hasn’t been made until now. But CBS’ new sitcom, DMW, which is based in Los Angeles (where driving is a dangerous sport), fits the bill nicely. Harriet Dyer stars as a soft-hearted driving examiner and the great Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live, Mean Girls) is on board as a former English professor turned driving instructor. In tonight’s new episode, the staff entertains side gigs to make ends meet, including a shady pyramid scheme.
