If true, that's about the same time as the previous shows.

kind of looks like the rainbow warp FX of the movies II-VI (Meyer influence?)

True, but the burden of proof is on those who make the claim.

Thank you for the link.

Oh, for fuck's sake. They're still going to force a break on a show that only has 15 episodes in the season? Ugh.

 

[JayTheTrekkie]

At last, the premiere date! Looking forward to it.

 

[The Wormhole]

Oh, for fuck's sake. They're still going to force a break on a show that only has 15 episodes in the season? Ugh.

Walking Dead has 16 episodes, still has a mid season break.

Waiting for someone to explain why this is the Worst. Possible. Date. they could have picked...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Walking Dead has 16 episodes, still has a mid season break.

Another reason I'm glad I don't watch that show.

The Americans has 13 episodes per season and doesn't have a break, which is the norm for most FX shows.

Well, it IS a Sunday and it will be the same night shows like "Walking Dead, Preacher, et al also air on AMC. Plus new "American Gods" episodes will probably be airing again on that nignht around the same time. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Well, it IS a Sunday

Actually a lot of successful shows are on Sundays, including a little show called Game of Thrones.

 

[Tuskin38]

If they didn't have the break they'd probably run out of completed episodes lmao.

It was everywhere I'll make sure to use APA citations next time news breaks.....

The Americans has 13 episodes per season and doesn't have a break, which is the norm for most FX shows.

In that case, I would point out Doctor Who has done mid-season breaks with 13 episode long seasons, though since that was part of a failed experiment maybe I shouldn't.

This ain't FX.

What is your rationale for September 24th being the worst possible date?
