Why ‘Ghosts’ Isn’t Airing a New Episode This Week
While Ghosts fans waited a long time for Season 3’s arrival, they’ll have to wait a little longer as the ongoing season is temporarily sidelined due to March Madness.
Fans of the CBS sitcom about a couple sharing an inherited estate with an eclectic mix of spirits will have to stand by as the show takes a brief hiatus for the annual basketball tournament which pushes Ghosts‘ Season 3 return to April 4. In other words, there’s no new episode until the new month, so fans will be waiting a little while to enjoy the sixth episode, “Hello, Brother.”

The installment will air in Ghosts‘ regular timeslot on Thursdays when Season 3 picks back up on April 4th, and the episode will see Trevor’s (Asher Grodman) brother, Jeremy (guest star Jon Glaser), check into Woodstone’s B&B after discovering a loophole in the Woodstone Rewards Points program.
What that loophole entails remains unknown until the episode arrives, but it’s always a fun time when family members of Woodstone’s spirit residents pay a visit. As fans will recall, Trevor’s parents Lenny (Chip Zein) and Esther (Laraine Newman) were introduced in Season 2 when they held a memorial for their late son upon the discovery of his remains in the estate’s lake.
Jeremy was notably absent from the celebration but memorably sent Tara Reid in his place. This was an acceptable substitute in Trevor’s eyes as he referred to his brother as J-Dog. Regarding hopes to meet his onscreen brother, Grodman told TV Insider, “I’m hoping that J-Dog gets his day in the sun, cause how fun would that be? And to see how they’re similar, but also how very different.”
Stay tuned to see what will unfold when Ghosts finally returns in April, and let us know how you’ll be filling the Ghosts void in the meantime, below.

Oh well. Guess I'll watch Resident Alien on Peacock instead. I may be one of the few who'd rather see Ghosts than Basketball.

Really...isn't that why folks pay for all those expensive Sports Packages? 😉 Guess the broke College Students get to see their school's teams play this way.

March Madness has been a staple over 40 years. Wish people would stop complaining about it every year.

Right! I aleady finished Ghosts UK, and just started Resident Alien. It is sooo frustrating, I don't know why Basket Ball doesn't have a separate channel or air it on a Sunday during the day.

Maybe one of these years Viacom will air that lame tournament on something other than the main CBS network station--which preempts some great shows for weeks. They've only got about a billion other options.
Throw it on comedy Central or Smithsonian or Paramount Network...or even Showtime for all I care 🙂
JUST NOT MAIN CBS!

Pansy say what? Lame tournament. I am sure you had a lot of male friends growing up. Probably think the Super Bowl is lame too.

I think if you want to watch basketball then air on a sports channel and leave regular programming in place!

Stupid responses always. Why not air Ghosts on a Ghost channel? Sports has been around since TV was invented and brings the network way more money and viewers. So many insane people. Omg I can't watch something else for a week.

Basketball seems to always be on. It’s extremely annoying. It’s fun to play with friends but actually watching it, it’s so boring.

Same here. I play it with my kids but too boring to watch. It's worse than watching an old war documentary, right to sleep lol

I hate that Ghost gets interrupted all the time, even last season. It's a great show. Do not interrupt the regular time airing.

How about the programmers at CBS use CBS Sports Channel to show the tournament and leave regular programs alone! Duh!!!!

I’d rather watch Ghosts; Pete and Flower would be glad to watch the Final Four, though.

Anything but basketball or other sports.

CBS needs to have a CBS 2 for sports

The crybabies are so nauseating. Been reading comments from non sports fans for 40 years. Never gonna change. Get over it. My question is why did Paramount + stop Ghosts UK after Season 2? They ever gonna air Season and up? I prefer to stream it on TV then watch on the computer. It used to be on HBO Max I believe but they pulled it when they started showing it on CBS but now they are only showing the 2 seasons with no notification of when and if they will eventually add the later seasons.

Duh, do we really need to be told why the show (as well as other CBS shows) won't be airing tonight, or for the next few weeks.
