Fire Country returns, Elsbeth isn't new, and more on this week's CBS TV schedule
By Diana Nosa
CBS has been and always will be our go-to TV network when it comes to watching some of the best TV shows that are currently airing every night.
Fire Country is one of our favorite CBS titles, as the drama just keeps getting hotter and hotter each week, especially with this week's brand-new episode featuring a very scary blow-up that shakes through the town.
The same excitement can be said about Elsbeth because new fans will get to watch the pilot of this series this week. Of course, if you have already watched the pilot (which initially aired on Feb. 29), you may not necessarily feel led to watch the episode. But if you do, you may be surprised to see a couple of moments you forgot happened.
In addition to Fire Country and Elsbeth, we want to inform you all about the new content you can expect to see this week as well as things that may not exactly be brand-new but still will be a good refresher for you.
Without further ado, here's what this week (Mar. 11) looks like for CBS fans as well as a sneak peek into what you can expect from these episodes (via CBS).
