**Special sneak peek Sunday, Jan. 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (check local listings)**
This single-camera comedy follows Mackenzie (Kaitlin Olson), aka “Mickey”, a hapless mess, hard-drinking, living-large kind of gal, always “between” jobs, and always broke. Hoping for a handout from her wealthy sister, Mickey pays her a visit, but instead ends up with a full-time baby-sitting gig. After her sister fled the country to avoid a federal indictment, Mickey must assume guardianship of her sister’s three high-maintenance children. Mickey will quickly learn what the rest of us already know – other people’s children are awful.
Making History: TBA

24: Legacy (s): Two-night series premiere beginning Sunday, Feb. 5 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT; moves to its regular time slot Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT (check local listings) beginning February 6
Told in the same real-time format that propelled the original series, 24: Legacy chronicles a new adrenaline-fueled race against the clock. Military hero Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins) returns to the U.S. in a whole lot of trouble. With nowhere else to turn, Carter is compelled to ask the CTU for help in saving his life, while also attempting to stop what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.

NEW TO CITY
Bones (s): Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT (check local listings) beginning January 3
When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless, law enforcement calls on Dr. Temprance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim’s bones. The combination of Brennan’s scientific acumen and her partner FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth’s (David Boreanaz) people smarts makes them a formidable duo, both professionally and personally.

**Three-hour Live Special**
If you can handle the truth, get ready for a groundbreaking live broadcast of Aaron Sorkin’s (The Social Network, The West Wing) electrifying original Broadway play that became the legendary Oscar-nominated film starring Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise. Executive Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Hairspray Live!, Hairspray, Chicago) team up with Executive Producer Sorkin, who will adapt his own work for this unique television production about military lawyers who uncover a conspiracy at the highest level – while defending their clients accused of murder.
