Thursday, Dec. 26 is a normal day for a lot of people in the United States. However, the TV schedules aren’t returning to normal just yet.
Here in Canada, it’s Boxing Day. That means another day off for a lot of people and a chance to recover from the Christmas Day food coma. Hopefully, you get that time off as well, and that means looking for something to watch tonight on the TV. The good news is that the broadcast networks have a few options tonight, Thursday, Dec. 26.
Ghosts reruns, a lookback at 2024, and more
As Christmas winds down, it’s time to get ready for the New Year. That means looking back at the events that happened throughout the year. So, after a High Potential rerun, we’ll get to watch The Year: 2024 on ABC. This is a look back at all the major events, whether it is the news, pop culture stories, or social media influencer topics. Of course, we’re sure that the Election is going to be a major highlight of the year.
NBC also has a lookback at the year during the first hour of the night. E! News Presents NBC’s Hot 10 of 2024 will bring us some of the most viral moments from the year. Jimmy Fallon and Dolly Parton are among the guests of the night with the countdown. This is a great time to take a look at how many moments you remember and what went more viral than you thought.
If you want to avoid looking back at the year just yet, you’ll want to turn to CBS. There’s a night of reruns, starting with two hours of Ghosts. That means four episodes of the comedy series, although it’s going to feel like two. You see, we’re getting the two-part Christmas specials from last year and this year. So, those who are still in a Christmasy mood will be happy to tune in.
After the Ghosts reruns, there’s a Matlock rerun. This rerun is the episode where Matty has to put her rusty trial skills to the test. A woman is suing her former boss for sexual harassment, something that is very difficult to prove. Matty has to figure out her own way of doing things while continuing her search for proof on who ultimately led to her daughter’s death.
