The closer we get to Christmas and New Year, the more we have to figure out what to watch. The good news is there is plenty to watch across broadcast TV tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 17.
The night brings us a great mixture of content. We have some reruns, holiday content, and regular TV shows. After all, not everything has gone off the air for the year just yet! This is the last week for CBS’s regular programming, though.
FBI lineup, Night Court, and more
NBC has a mixed night. Things start off with the regular Tuesday lineup. We get the midseason finales of St. Denis Medical and Night Court. After this, the two shows are taking a small break and will be back in January. Night Court is going to be an interesting one, as Abby is faced with chaos thanks to a murder mystery performer. Is it only one?
NBC will then bring us a Christmas special. Smokey Robinson and Halle Bailey will host A Motown Christmas, which brings some of the best Motown performers and legends singing the classics.
Meanwhile, CBS has a full night of drama. It’s all about the three FBI shows. Like with NBC’s lineup, these are winter finales, which means big episodes before we go on a break until the end of January.
FOX has another two-hour special of LEGO Masters. It's another Bricktacular event, and this time, we may want to get ready for a snowstorm to hit. Sophia Bush and Eric McCormack are among the celebrity guests for the night.
