All the Shows Being Held for the Midseason
As current seasons end, networks are already looking ahead to next year. And in addition to announcing fall schedules (premiere dates still to come), they’ve also set which shows won’t be returning until the midseason.
Some aren’t surprising, like The Bachelor, American Idol, and 9-1-1: Lone Star, as well as some of the new series joining networks’ primetime lineups, while other shows are making the move from the fall. For example, A Million Little Things is becoming a midseason show for its fifth season, and The CW doesn’t have either of its remaining Arrowverse series (The Flash and Superman & Lois) on its fall schedule. Meanwhile, Fox is delaying Fantasy Island again after Season 2 was originally set for this summer.

And the networks wonder why their audiences keep shrinking. How can all the streaming services have such fantastic programming while the broadcast networks can’t come up with a decent new show?

Scripted shows cost a lot to make. The reason they do so many game shows, unscripted etc. is because they have too much competition now from streaming networks. They can no longer compete. It costs too much. They would much rather put on scripted shows.

There are plenty of decent network shows...it's snobbery to think otherwise. The new CBS show Fire Country is really good. So is Superman & Lois. These are just the midseason shows. Bob Hearts Abishola is hilarious. America's Got Talent is very entertaining (and popular all over the world). The new Quantum Leap is interesting so far. Ghosts is really good. There's a lot of good shows on there. It's just a matter of what you enjoy or not. The networks know exactly why their audiences are shrinking-because there's too many streaming services and cable is too expensive. Also, the broadcast networks are hampered by two things that the streaming services aren't: they have to kowtow to the FCC (no swearing, nudity etc.) and they have to program shows in particular time slots. The people who make great TV shows don't want to have to abide by those rules, so they do streaming now.

Thee Blacklist being pushed out may lose a fee viewer's. I see no real reason for it. Bad planning??
