Get Excited for These New Shows This Season

It’s finally beginning to cool off but primetime television is heating up! Since you will probably be spending more evenings indoors during the upcoming months, Mountainwest Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with the series that we’re looking forward to this season. So get wrapped up with a fuzzy blanket and a cup of hot chocolate while you snuggle in for a TV-packed fall.

Chicago Justice (Sundays on NBC)

It began with a heroic team of firefighters and EMTs at Firehouse 51. After we met a few police officers and detectives, including originally-hated-now-loved Sgt. Hank Voight, Chicago P.D. premiered in 2014. In 2015, a group of nurses and doctors in Chicago became the much loved Chicago Med, creating the perfect crossovers with all our Chicago heroes. In winter 2017, NBC will add Chicago Justice to the lineup. We were introduced to a few of the newcomers on Chicago P.D. back in May and this winter we’ll get to officially meet the team of lawyers and investigators. Dick Wolf has developed quite the production with NBC’s Chicago-based shows that interlace and has the capability to take us from the start of a crime (commonly arson), to the investigation (by the Intelligence Unit ran by Voight), to the survivals and fatalities (shown through our medical team), and now all the way to the final end where our new heroes will seek justice.

 

24: Legacy (Sundays on FOX)

When we first heard about 24, we could actually hear the “beep, beep, beep” counting down the minutes and our hearts jumped at the idea of Jack Bauer coming back into our living rooms. But, as the network says, it is a new day and we have a new hero. Kiefer Sutherland is going to be an executive producer for the premiere, but our new hero is Eric Carter, played by Corey Hawkins, a military hero returning to the U.S. with trouble right behind him. He turns to CTU (yes, it’s back!) for help keeping him safe, while of course preventing a terrorist attack. The update of an old favorite will abide by the same 24 hour, 1 episode = 1 hour, format as before so we are hoping we can look forward to the epic countdowns each commercial break.

 

Designated Survivor (Wednesdays on ABC)

Just when you dry your tears over the fact that you won’t be seeing Jack Bauer in the 24 reboot, your hopes are restored because he’s getting his own new show and now, instead of saving the president, he is the president. For Designated Survivor, Kiefer Sutherland portrays Tom Kirkman, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who becomes the President of the United States after an explosion eliminates everyone in front of him in the Presidential line of succession. He’s back, baby!

 

This Is Us (Tuesdays on ABC)

If you loved Parenthood, critics say this is the show for you. This Is Us follows a group of people who are associated by the fact that they share the same birthday. Rebecca (played by Mandy Moore) and Jack (played by Milo Ventimiglia) are married and getting ready to have triplets on Jack’s 36^th birthday. Randall (depicted by Sterling K. Brown who just earned an Emmy for his representation of Christopher Darden in The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story) is a man celebrating his 36^th birthday trying to decide whether or not he should meet his father who abandoned him the day he was born. Kate (played by Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (depicted by Justin Hartley) are twins who are spending their 36^th birthday wrestling with their unfulfilled lives, with Kate focusing on changing her eating habits and Kevin frustrated with his current job.
