Is Doc New Tonight on FOX? Air Time, Channel and the Next New Episode
Quick answer: Yes. Doc has a new episode on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX: "S.O.S" (Season 3, Episode 5). FOX's episode release and The Futon Critic's listing both give the 9 p.m. hour; we checked them at 12:20 a.m. ET on Oct. 19. Nothing is listed for Tuesday, Oct. 27.
Last new episode: "Great Expectations" (Season 3, Episode 4) on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Season 3 premiered on Tuesday, Sept. 22, with "Wherefore Art Thou."
Is Doc new tonight?
On Tuesday, Oct. 20, yes. This page is about the FOX medical drama starring Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen, not Doc Martin. FOX describes the series as the story of a doctor with memory loss who has to navigate an unfamiliar world.
One detail only the listings show: The Futon Critic holds the Tuesday 9 p.m. slot for Doc every week through Dec. 29, but only Oct. 20 has a named episode. FOX's release for that night is coded DOC-305 and reads 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT. After Oct. 20 the next dated hour, Nov. 3, carries only "TBA."
When is the next new episode of Doc?
"S.O.S" on Oct. 20 is next. In FOX's release, Amy helps a family face the news that their daughter's sudden illness could be fatal while she copes with intrusive memory seizures, and TJ and Sonya have to work together on a patient whose injuries look self-inflicted. The release lists Blair Underwood as Dr. Ben Grant among the cast.
The Futon Critic's listing has no entry for Tuesday, Oct. 27. We found no FOX announcement explaining the gap, so we give no reason. For Nov. 3, 10, 17 and 24 the listing keeps Doc in the 9 p.m. slot with the episode shown as TBA. Those Tuesdays are listed, but no new episode has been named for them yet, so the table says "listed." Other shows get the same treatment on the new-tonight index.

FOX's release gives the broadcast time only; it says nothing about streaming, so we left that row open rather than guess.
