As Christmas approaches, popular TV networks like NBC, ABC, and CBS are airing a variety of special holiday programs. Shows such as Christmas in Rockefeller Center and CMA Country Christmas have already been broadcast on NBC and ABC. Meanwhile, viewers can look forward to upcoming specials like Nate Bargatzeâs Nashville Christmas and Josh Groban & Friends Go Home for the Holidays on CBS.
What exactly does that mean for your usual network favorites like Tracker, The Equalizer, and ABC’s new hit High Potential? One word: DOOM.
