Another year, another TV season to map out. Here is this year's fall television season grid.

Like the last few grids, the new shows are in italics and shows to be recorded are in color (with green and blue for my two different DVRs). All times are Eastern / Pacific. Central Time would be one hour before the listed time.

Here are the previous year's schedules for comparison: 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010.
