According to a report over at CBR, it appears that the upcoming television domination comic books are about to place on TV has been unveiled, as all of the time slots for comic book-based programs are now announced.
Beginning this fall, your TV will feature the following:
On Monday, Gotham will air on FOX at 8 PM. Castle will also be back at 10 PM on ABC, of which there has been a few comic spin-offs.
On Tuesday, Agents of SHIELD will return at a 9 PM slot on ABC, to also be filled by Agent Carter during its mid-season break. Not only that, but newcomer The Flash will air at 8 PM on the CW, followed by Supernatural (which has had a comic based on it) at 9 PM. That’ll be an interesting ratings battle.
On Wednesday, Arrow returns at its usual 8 PM timeslot on the CW.
On Friday, Constantine will air at 10 PM on NBC, which is currently occupied by Hannibal which is a show you all should be watching.
Sunday will also have The Walking Dead at 9 PM on AMC, so that fills that quota. There’s also Once Upon A Time which had a graphic novel, so that might count.
So that’s every night, except Thursday and Saturday. Congratulations, kids: all the nonsense we like is becoming the dominant form of entertainment.
Never fear, though: Thursday will still probably have Big Bang Theory, a show that the comic/nerd community has universally loved and embraced for its fair and balanced portrayal of geek culture thanks to the current cultural zeitgeist, and Saturday will at some point have Doctor Who back which, while not based on a comic, has comic books based on it and still gets covered by comic book-based sites.
It’s unknown when iZombie will air, but it’s referred to as a show that will arrive as a mid-season replacement like Agent Carter by CBR, so that’s something to consider.
