Hopefully it is time for me to
finally write the next fantasy schedule that I have been wanting to do for
quite some time. This is when I predict what the networks’ schedules might look
like in the upcoming season. It has been quite a while since I’ve done this in
my blog. Quick reminders that all caps refers to any new shows and summer
refers to this year (2020) and not a future summer.
You might need an explanation
as to where this post has been for a while. It wasn’t discontinued like the
cancellation predictions from a while ago or other posts. I haven’t done it the
past two years, despite wanting to for a while. I ran out of time two years ago
and never even attempted to the previous year due to a change as to when the
blog was updated. I hope to get this done as it is time sensitive.
Now there will be something
different this coming season since there are changes due to covid19 that aren’t
common and never happened before. Some changes are already in effect, but the
main thing could be that pilots may not happen or happen much later than
before. I don’t think that this will affect previously filmed pilots from a
while ago that probably won’t happen anymore. But you will see a lot of
different predictions in this blog as a result of the virus.

Midseason- American Idol, The
Bachelor, The Baker and the Beauty, The Great Christmas Light Fight, The Great
American Baking Show, Bachelor in Paradise, NEW DRAMA, NEW COMEDY, NEW REALITY,
YET ANOTHER BACHELOR SHOW
Summer- THE BACHELOR SUMMER
GAMES, DON’T, GENERATION GAP, UNITED WE FALL, VIDEOS AFTER DARK, The $100,000
Pyramid, Card Sharks, Celebrity Family Feud, Holy Moley, Supermarket Sweep, Press
Your Luck, Primetime: What Would You Do?
Cancelled- Emergence, Kids Say
the Darnest Things, The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, How to Get
Away with Murder, Stumptown, Don’t, Generation Gap, United We Fall, Videos
after Dark, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Explanations- Things will be
different, of course, due to the virus which is why I think that some of what
will be different will be how much things will be similar to what they were
this season. Part of what this network does different now is American Idol,
which is why I think that the late airing Bachelorette will air on the Sunday
slot that American Idol will later get. I am hoping that the end of the virus
will put things back into motion around May, if things can get started by then.
Depending on how late it could delay things, we might not see any of this for a
while, if we see anything at all.

Summer- Blood & Treasure, The
Amazing Race, The Good Fight season 2, Undercover Boss, One Day at a Time, Love
Island
Cancelled- Bull, Hawaii
Five-0, Madam Secretary, Criminal Minds
Explanations- I think that
Bull will wind up being more of a surprise cancellation and that there will be
some unusual schedule changes due to covid19 that we haven’t seen as much
before. Even if this is all over before the summer ends, I think that it will
be a big enough change to delay when they could be airing Survivor as a result.
I still think that it is possible that Love Island airs again this summer
instead of some other time. It is possible that new shows start during the fall
and I think that will happen to make up for some of the scheduling gaps of some
of these shows.

LOIS, WALKER, In the Dark, All American, and Roswell, New Mexico
Summer- STARGIRL, The 100,
Bulletproof, Burden of Proof, In the Dark, Masters of Illusion, Penn and
Teller: Fool Us, The Outpost, Pandora
Cancelled- The 100,
Supernatural, Hypnotize Me, Arrow
Explanations- It might be a
bit hard to predict some of what will happen this season and I do have some of
the knowledge of what might happen as a result. I made some risky choices such
as what will be on at midseason versus the fall in addition to some schedule
changes here and there. I’m only predicting one of the final season shows here
officially even though others could end as well. I don’t think that there will
be much else different, although this network is trying hardest to make sure
that all of the episodes planned for this season will be made and air at some
point, which you’d think they would at random points during the summer when the
main shows are on brief breaks. It is hard to predict much about this network
anymore as they are Crazy, Wight?

Summer- FILTHY RICH, THE GREAT
NORTH, NEXT, ULTIMATE TAG, So You Think You Can Dance?
Cancelled- Deputy, Outmatched,
Almost Family, Filthy Rich, Flirty Dancing, NeXt, The Great North, The Moodys, Empire,
Mental Samurai
Explanations- This might be
harder to predict than I would like. I think that some of this is randomly and
shooting in the dark more so than I would like. It is hard to tell what could
happen, but I think that a lot of this would be closer to happening than not
happening. I don’t know why FOX had to get rid of a lot of the timeslots that
they have most of the year to other things that aren’t as important as they
could be and don’t have to air on network TV at all. But these are my predictions
and I hope that they make sense and work for other people.

Cancelled- Zoey’s
Extraordinary Playlist, Indebted, Council of Dads, Bluff City Law, Blindspot,
Will and Grace, Sunnyside, The Good Place, That’s My Jam, Perfect Harmony
Explanations- I am guessing at
what the organized crime drama that would be part of the Law and Order
franchise and think that it won’t be caused Organized Crime so that people
won’t confuse it with the other show that will be premiering the same season.
The Kenan Show and Young Rock are comedies. Most of this is based on what is
premiering late being cancelled in case like it normally is most of the time. I
think that the unnamed Law and Order spin-off would have to be at midseason in
order for them to introduce the team and reintroduce Elliot to the show. I have
to admit that I don’t know if that has already happened on SVU in episodes that
I haven’t seen. I do think that this is a good bet, even though I’m certain to
be wrong about some of these.

No decision: NBC’s Pandemic
Weekly Show, Who do You Think You Are?, So You Think You can Dance?
That’s all that I can think of
for this post. Sorry if I’m forgetting or not including any shows that I should
be or if any of this information is wrong. Granted, this is just a guess as to
what the schedule for the next season will be like and I have no way of knowing
yet if it will, in fact, happen or not. But I hope that you like this post and
if enough people read it, then you will see it again next year if I don’t run
out of time or have some other problem with it instead.
