The Seasons are Melding Together

If the changes with blogger happen and become permanent like I think that they will, this will be one of the last posts that you see in this or any other blog that is updated because of a low number of views might not be done anymore since there won't be a way of determining this anymore. But this would be quite a good thing for me and would mean that I can go back to doing posts that were discontinued in this or any other blog of mine. I also significantly reduces the possibility of me creating any new blogs in the future. Now let's get to the next post in general. Note that I will not be doing weekly updates of this blog on this day of the week now as I didn't roll for the right thing today.

While it can be hard to determine when one TV season ends and another begins, especially when we have some networks that seem to start it at different times a lot. It is generally considered started on the day after the Emmys happen on four of the five major networks, with the CW coming in a bit later around two weeks later. But television has been highly unusual since at least March.

Due to coronavirus and other things like that, some of the shows that have started airing late this season will continue into next season without any interruption whatsoever. I have no idea just how much this has happened in the past. Like I said before, shows have been unusual for months now. Have we seen anything like this before?

I’d say that a show clearly starting in what is considered one season by networks (if not by me, at least when I do the cancelled posts in a season since so many summer shows disappear entirely or at least take a long time before we know that they are gone) and continuing straight into another is weird and not at all what people would expect typically. We are seeing Love Island and Big Brother start so late into the summer that they have to continue into the next season.

You see, despite the promise that many of its shows would start in September, CBS isn’t going to be able to do that after all due to all the filming delays and restrictions still going on due to coronavirus. I had thought that at least California started filming again (only for cases there of coronavirus to predictably go up), but I have no idea just how much filming is being done still, if any is going on at all. Plus, there are a lot of other places that shows are filmed than just California. New York City has a high number of cases and a lot of shows on various networks are still filmed there. Canada has numerous shows filming there, mostly CW shows. At least two shows that I know of are filmed in Louisiana.

Whatever last minute replacements are coming into TV are going to be here until they end and the shows that we are used to hopefully come back at some point in time in the future. I doubt that such a weird thing would happen so much in the future (even as it sort of does already), but we don’t know how long the affects of the pandemic will be with us in many ways. Just be glad that you are still alive for now to enjoy it, even if you have to wait long to see your favorite shows you are used to.
