Kathy Bates’ return to TV continues to be a hit among Matlock viewers. Unfortunately, for those who were hoping to see what antics the savvy attorney would get into next, we have some bad news: Matlock isn’t airing a new episode tonight, March 20. Not only that, but Matlock isn’t scheduled to debut the next new episode until April 3.
If you’re wondering who or what to blame for this interruption in schedule, look no further than the 2025 March Madness tournament. Every year, men's college basketball is flung into the spotlight as NCAA Division One teams fortunate enough to be selected go head-to-head to see who will walk away with a championship title. As in years past, CBS is one of the networks providing game coverage, and tonight’s coverage knocks off CBS’s regular primetime lineup, meaning Ghosts season 4, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and Elsbeth season 2 are also not airing new episodes.
