Sunday TV: Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, Elementary & More

News & Notes

Tonight, FOX has the animated special premiere of the Ice Age: The Great Egg-scapade and the live musical special The Passion, CBS has Elementary on its new night, and NBC has Crowded now on its regular night.

Over on cable, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries has the miniseries finale of Karen Kingsbury’s The Bridge and Showtime has the first season finale of The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth.

Listen to the latest episode of TV times Three: Ep.314, “Spring TV Preview 2016.” On this episode I am joined by @kyool and @Dorv to preview the 2016 Spring TV Schedule with premiere dates of new and returning shows and then we talk a bit about which ones look good and we are most looking forward to. Plus, we talk about recent episodes of Quantico, The Magicians and Limitless and then close out with some TV recommendations.

I was also a guest on The Televerse Podcast Ep.237 for the DVD Shelf segment to talk about Northern Exposure, which is one of my all-time favorite shows.
