It's time for a journey through the CW Sunday schedule in 2022-23...

The CW went into surrender mode on Sunday starting with a couple acquired dramas in the fall. I don't have the willpower to do grades for acquired dramas in general but I will say that the Canadian legal drama Family Law seems like one of their (relatively) stronger recent efforts in this space, both here (where it beat the year-ago original game show) and again this summer on Fridays.

Repeats took over for after the new year, not exactly a great sign for the CW's ability to program seven nights a week. However, the repeats were usually better than the originals they replaced.

Docu-series 100 Days to Indy, a big flop in its originals on Thursdays, was an even bigger one with repeats on Sundays.
