Can you believe that we’re at the halfway mark of April already? Here’s a look at everything airing across the broadcast networks tonight, Tuesday, April 15.
Most of the networks have their usual programming on. NBC is the only network taking a break in regular programming, bringing a string of reruns instead. It does help to cut down on the amount that we need to watch in a night! Tuesdays can get a little busy!
4 shows to watch and 2 to skip tonight, Tuesday, April 15
When I say to skip shows, I don’t mean not to watch them at all. I mean to tune into them the following day via streaming shows. I want to make that clear, as I know that some people can feel a little put-off by the term “skip.” It just means skip it until the next day.
One to watch live is The Cleaning Lady. The series has only just started its fourth season, so it’s not surprising that FOX hasn’t made a decision on its future yet. However, we are taking no chances at all. The series isn’t performing as well as previous seasons in the linear networks, so make sure you watch live to help bump up the numbers.

Stick with FOX straight afterward, as well. Other networks have all renewed their shows, so you don’t need to worry about them as much. Alert: Missing Persons Unit is still on the bubble — like The Cleaning Lady, the new season has just started — and we need to make it clear that more of this show is needed. I’m not as worried about Alert as I am The Cleaning Lady, though, as the linear ratings have ticked up from last season!
After this, turn your attention to FBI: Most Wanted. I know that the series is being canceled, but it’s one of those shows that deserves to go out with a bang. The series finale is still some time away, so you’ll want to get the teases of how the storylines for each character could end. Remember that there was some time to go back to those final episodes and rework a few things to ensure the season finale could work well as a series finale.
If you feel like you have time to watch something at the very end of the night, I’d recommend Will Trent. Will is going through some serious development right now off the back of that bad shot that he made a few episodes ago. I love it when we see development like this, and it deserves to be watched.
As for the shows to skip, I’d go for FBI and The Rookie. Both of them have been renewed now, and they both go to streaming the following day. You can watch FBI on Paramount+ and The Rookie on Hulu.
