2009–10 United States network television schedule

The following is the 2009–10 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 2009 through May 2010. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2008–09 season.

PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. NBC stripped The Jay Leno Show weeknights at 10 pm Eastern/9 p.m. Central, but removed it after the Winter Olympics. The CW eliminated its Sunday night programming block and returned that time to local affiliates.^[1] After three years as a network, MyNetworkTV became a syndication programming service, and therefore not recognized as a network, but its programs are still listed in this article.^[2] Fox announced its schedule on May 18, both ABC and NBC on May 19, CBS on May 20, and The CW on May 21.

Schedule

New series are highlighted in bold. All times given are in U.S. Eastern Time and Pacific Time. There are certain exceptions, such as NBC Sunday Night Football, that are aired live in all time zones. Note: From February 12 to February 28, 2010, all NBC primetime programming was pre-empted for coverage of 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
