Not everyone is a fan of football. While Super Bowl LIX is also about commercials and the Halftime Show, you may want something else to watch tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 9.

There are no new episodes of top broadcast shows tomorrow. That’s why we won’t have a “what’s on TV tonight” post. However, this is a good time to catch up on some shows and to see how others ended. We have five great broadcast shows to spend the night watching.

Watch the three-part One Chicago crossover event

There isn’t a lot of time to work through a new series. So, if you just want an event, then you’ll want to turn to the most recent One Chicago crossover event. The three episodes are more like a big movie, and you don’t need to know too much about the various characters to get into the storylines.

Start with Chicago Fire season 13, episode 11. Then you want to run with Chicago Med season 10, episode 11 and Chicago PD season 12, episode 11. They are all available on Peacock to watch.

The episode starts with a gas explosion at a city building. It turns into a situation that puts lives of Chicago’s finest on the line, including Desk Sergeant Trudy Platt.

Catch up on Doc

Would you like to check out a new series? Super Bowl night is a great time for that, and Doc is the show to turn to for medical drama fans. This new FOX series follows a Chief of Surgery who ends up in a car accident that affects her memory. Everything from the last eight years is a blank.

This doesn’t just affect her life. It affects her career as well. Without the eight years of medical advancements, how can she possibly continue to work as a doctor? She needs to get caught up on so much.

On top of that, she’s relearning about events that have happened in her life. She has to find out that her son died again, and she has to relive the knowledge that her marriage broke down and the staff hate her. It’s a powerful show.

Doc is available on Hulu to catch up on.

Get ready for Tracker's return

Do you want a few more episodes to work your way through? How about a show that also has a bit of a Supernatural feel now and then? Tracker is the one for you—and yes, Jensen Ackles guest stars in the series a couple of times and he has Dean Winchester vibes.

The series follows Colter Shaw, who solves mysteries for money. He’s a rewardist, but he also has a heart. Sometimes, he will take on a case without money to help friends.

This is a man with a lot of demons and secrets. He wants to figure out his family past. When he was young, his survivalist dad died, and there are all sorts of questions about how. Did his brother Russell push the man, or is his mom hiding something more nefarious?
