Alrighty. I know I’m always going on about the state of UK television but the reason is that fifteen years ago, UK television pwned US television. I’m a little disenchanted, that’s all.
But today’s reason that I love US television more is down to a little word called “scheduling”. I scour the Internet daily for news of when Merlin, The Fixer and Being Human might be returning but the BBC and ITV are so paranoid that they only release airing dates weeks before screening, days if you are unlucky! I nearly missed the start of the last Doctor Who season and that would have been an outright tragedy.
So I am happy to say that I came upon this list in a forum and thought it looked mighty useful and informative. These are US Fall screening dates (and I personally follow the US dates for my shows even though I live in the UK). I’m still waiting to see if the forum would mind me linking back to them so they shall remain anonymous for now.
