2009–10 United States network television schedule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Rfl0216 (talk | contribs) at 19:51, 3 October 2018 (Renewals). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The following is the 2009–10 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 2009 through May 2010. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2008–09 season.

PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. NBC stripped The Jay Leno Show weeknights at 10 pm Eastern/9 p.m. Central, but removed it after the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The CW eliminated its Sunday night programming block and returned that time to local affiliates; it will return to programming Sunday nights in the 2018–19 season.[1] After three years as a network, MyNetworkTV became a syndication programming service, and therefore not recognized as a network, but its programs are still listed in this article.[2] Fox announced its schedule on May 18, both ABC and NBC on May 19, CBS on May 20, and The CW on May 21.

New series are highlighted in bold.

All times given are in U.S. Eastern Time and Pacific Time. There are certain exceptions, such as NBC Sunday Night Football, that are aired live in all time zones.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.[3]

  Yellow indicates the top-10 most-watched programs of the season.
  Cyan indicates the top-20 most watched programs of the season.
  Magenta indicates the top-30 most watched programs of the season.
