Back to School Commercials 2020

When it can time to do the count again this year, I was wondering if coronavirus would affect things potentially. It turns out that it really didn’t as the same number of commercials seemed to air at around the same time shortly after Independence Day (ironic, if you think about it). Well, here’s a count of this again as usual with a recap of other years that I’ve done this.

In 2014, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 1. The official count before August is 48. The official count before September is 158. The official total of the whole year is 170. In 2015, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 0. The official count before August is 44. The official count before September is 125. The official total of the whole year is 136.

In 2016, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 1. The official count before August is ~61. The official count before September is ~261. The official total of the whole year is 286. In 2017, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 0. The official count before August is ~68. The official count before September is 219. The official total of the whole year is 234.

In 2018, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 0. The official count before August is ~20. The official count before September is 110. The official total of the whole year is 115. In 2019, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 0. The official count before August is ~52. The official count before September is 159. The official total of the whole year is 165.

In 2020, the official count of back to school commercials before Independence Day is 0. The official count before August is 48. The official count before September is 162. The official total of the whole year is 188.

And that’s about it. If I ever get an official total on years that use an ~ mark that is higher than that, then I will get rid of them in the count over years as I’ve been wanting to since they first appeared since I do have a record of them anyways.
