Things have been almost as dramatic for various scheduling departments tonight as they’ve been for the shows themselves. Let’s put it this way: Yesterday CBS made a quick decision, despite putting out numerous promos and sneak peeks, to preempt all of their primetime lineup for the World Series. Tonight, they did the same thing with […]
Thursday night’s new episode of “The Big Bang Theory” is just about here, and unlike the past two days on CBS, there’s not going to be some sort of long-term hiatus thanks to the World Series. Th comedy is bringing you “The Veracity Elasticity,” which in part seems to be about honesty, secret languages, and […]
We come today, once again, being the bearer of bad news if you consider yourself a fan of Fox’s “Lethal Weapon“: There is no new episode coming on the air. Originally, there was going to be one, but due to the World Series going to a game 7, we’re taking yet another week back and […]
At the moment, we do wonder if someone over at the CMA Awards is staunchly regretting their decision to hold their annual broadcast on November 2. Basically, the awards-show is being pitted up directly against the monster avalanche that is the World Series. Maybe they though the odds were so low of a game 7 […]
Are we going to miss Scott on “Big Brother: Over the Top“? It’s a complicated question with a complicated answer. We do know for certain that we’re grateful he was cast. The show casts a lot of the insecure nerd archetype, but doesn’t always get around to casting the more confident variety. Scott certainly fits […]
“The Blacklist” may not be your typical procedural, but it does have a structure that is very much its own. For the past few years, the fall has told its own separate story. For much of season 2, it was Berlin. Meanwhile, for season 3 it was Liz and Red on the run. Now, we’ve […]
We feel almost akin to a broken record for having to keep saying this, but it holds firm yet again today: There is no new episode of “Empire” coming on the air. What’s the reasoning for it? It’s simple: Fox has the World Series on! They can’t air two things at once, and while there […]
“Son of Zorn” is a ridiculous show. It’s laugh-out-loud funny times, juvenile at others, and despite its missteps here and there, we appreciate the thought experiment. It takes guts in 2016 to put on a makeshift He-Man live action / animation hybrid, and somehow it works! Fox is the only network that’d probably give this […]
Let’s get this out of the way first: There is no new episode of “Blindspot” airing on NBC tonight. Why? Blame the World Series. When the schedule was created, NBC clearly was hedging their bets that the World Series would not run seven games; we understand the logic, but it’s happened. They don’t want any […]
Creative shakeups are the name of the game for many first-year shows, largely because of the notion that people are still feeling each other out and trying to determine the best way to make things work. Over on CBS, this clearly was happening with “Kevin Can Wait.” Despite solid ratings and a full-season pickup, there […]
