With the spread of new TV being what it is these days — a constant churn of new episodes, new shows, and new reasons to never get to that one movie on your to-watch list — it’s not surprising when a TV schedule includes a little something for everyone. Even still, this week’s new TV offerings offer a pretty robust lineup for your holiday-week viewing.
