It’s time for our annual off-topic discussion of who will watch the Super Bowl’s lead-out program. CBS has the broadcast rights to Super Bowl 55, and the last time they had an opportunity to air something, they chose to air the series premiere of The World’s Best in 2019, which got 22.21 million viewers. The show was not picked up for a second season.
This year, CBS is airing the season premiere of The Equalizer, a crime drama starring Queen Latifah. The premise reads as follows: “The series chronicles the life of Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman and single mother to teenage daughter Delilah, with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn, acting as a guardian angel and a defender for those who cannot defend themselves while pursuing her own redemption.
