Tonight and tomorrow, NBC and CBS will be premiering two new programs, dramas Law & Order True Crime and SEAL Team. Both shows have big TV stars headlining them, and are both receiving a lot of support from their lead-ins. They will both have the honor of being the only new TV shows on broadcast for their respective premiere nights, meaning a lot of attention will be placed on both of them.
Law & Order True Crime, Tuesday at 10 PM on NBC
Premiere Tuesday's sole series premiere is Edie Falco's Law & Order True Crime. The series, created by Dick Wolf, is an anthology crime series. Season one will focus on the Menendez Murders, and will also feature famous faces such as Anthony Edward and Heather Graham. The show is receiving NBC's #1 show This Is Us as a lead-in, which will likely help the show out. Will the ratings for the premiere be devilishly good or criminally bad?
SEAL Team, Wednesday at 9 PM on CBS
Wednesday's only series premiere is CBS's SEAL Team. A military drama starring Bones alum David Boreanaz and Bites Motel's Max Thieriot, the series focuses on, well, Navy SEALs. It will be airing in the slot of the on-the-move Criminal Minds, and it will get a solid lead-in from Survivor. Will SEAL Team soar high or will it be dishonorably discharged due to terrible ratings?
