I was hoping to find a plugin that I could use to set up a schedule of shows and movies, to replicate the old-school feel of watching TV. Does anyone know of something like that?

Not exactly what you asked, but for old-school TV I use Tvheadend and it is not a Jellyfin Plugin. Instead, everything (including Jellyfin) plugs into Kodi in our Household and relatives.

Oldschool TV (Scheduling, Recordings, Live TV) is run via Tvheadend and a USB TV Cable adapter.
Youtube runs via a self-hosted Invidious instance.
My own Music lies on a NAS, indexed by Kodi and Jellyfin.
Some TV Shows and Movies lie also on a NAS indexed by Kodi and Jellyfin.

Media is scattered over various places and services and Kodi pulls them all together.

TV via Tvheadend=Added to Kodi via the Tvheadend Plugin.
Youtube/Invidious=Added to Kodi via the Invidious Plugin.
Jellyfin=Added to Kodi via the Invidious Plugin.
Other media that´s on the NAS=Added to Kodi via Library scanning.
Mediathekview=Added to Kodi via the Mediathekview Plugin.

Kodi serves all Media with a unified interface, no matter what it is or where it comes from. When using the TV we see Kodi and we pick what we want to consume.

Additionally, other family members can connect via Wireguard to my network, have one of those old Ex-Android TV Boxes on the TV on which Kodi (CoreElec or Libreelec) with the necessary Plugins is installed and they have the same unified experience. No need to "learn" how to use different UIs / Software for different Media. For the consumer it is all in one place --> Kodi :-)
