NBC and CBS have rescheduled some of their shows, which will air on January 10. They want to make sure that viewers can watch President Obama's farewell speech without missing their favorite TV series.
Thus, NBC has announced that the midseason return of "This Is Us" will be airing at 10 P.M. EST, instead of in its original slot at 9 P.M. EST. The series will return to its regular schedule time on Tuesday, January 17 at 9 P.M. EST.
A new episode of "Chicago Fire", meanwhile, will air a week later on January 17. The episode, which is titled "The People We Meet", was originally scheduled for January 10 at 10 P.M. EST.
Meanwhile, a new game show "The Wall" will air at 8 P.M. EST followed by its encore which will air right after the President's speech, which is expected to run for 40 minutes.
Elsewhere, CBS has decided to pull a new episode of "Bull" and will re-run the season 9 finale of "The Big Bang Theory" after the President's final address to the nation.
