While we’re more than ready to jump back into the regular TV schedule, that’s not happening just yet. There is still plenty to watch tonight, Monday, Dec. 30.
Sure, we’d love to tune in to another medical mystery with Dr. Wolf via Brilliant Minds. Maybe you’d love to tune into another case with the NCIS team. The bad news is the shows are currently off the air with new episodes, as the networks continue their winter break. In some good news, there are reruns, holiday specials, and some streaming shows getting linear outings to check out.
Day of the Jackal, NCIS reruns, and more
Mondays usually end with Brilliant Minds, but NBC is doing something a little different tonight. We’re getting an outing of Day of the Jackal. The Peacock series is currently available to binge, but NBC has decided to air the series premiere tonight. Eddie Redmayne plays The Jackal, an assassin who is the best in the world and enters a cat and mouse chase against a top MI6 agent who wants to prove herself.
Meanwhile, FOX is opting for a night of Monday night reruns. We’ll get to jump into the second episode of season 5 of 911: Lone Star, which continues the three-part disaster that involved the chlorine gas incident. This one focuses on the train crash that was shown at the end of the premiere episode.
CBS also has a night of reruns, and that includes NCIS if you want to check in on the team. We’re heading back to the sixth episode of the current season, titled “Knight and Day.” This episode sees Knight on a security detail mission when the home of a high-level defense contractor is attacked.
Are you interested in sports? ABC has you covered with Monday Night Football. The San Francisco 49ers host the Detroit Lions as the place in the playoffs continues for all teams.
