At least CBS is hoping that is true following the announcement of the new scripted medical mystery Watson, starring Morris Chestnut, launching Sunday, January 26 at 10 p.m. ET out of the AFC Championship Game. Due to the live nature of the AFC, the start time is approximate after post-game coverage.

The Morris Chestnut-led series, Watson, will premiere on January 26 following the AFC Championship game on CBS.
