Alright, NBC viewers, we're in for some schedule changes this week. Why? Well, there's Super Tuesday on March 5 for starters plus with the shows having shorter seasons this year we can expect for there to be hiatuses to ensure that the network will have its tentpole programs airing through the spring so that they finale in May as usual. Let's launch into the schedule for the week and then I'll breakdown what's new, which series will be airing reruns, and what's been preempted. All times in ET.
