What to Watch During Survivor’s Hiatus

I thought that I would do a quick post again as I keep not giving myself enough time to write these posts to get something good and of substance. I talk sometimes in posts about what I watch during the winter of hiatus of Survivor and I normally don’t care about keeping track of the summer one as much. But since Survivor will be on a much longer hiatus this time around, I might as well post beyond more than just what I’m doing and suggest what to do if you like Survivor.

There are some options that you can get into that are temporary itself. For one, there is now a show on the CW called Devils that is new. It aired internationally before it aired here. It won’t be here for long as it will be gone before the new year comes. I have no idea yet if this is a complete series or just one of many that we will be seeing later. That could occupy your time.

Another show that isn’t too much of a commitment is The Masked Singer. Like Survivor, they will start fresh every season with new people. In fact, I feel a bit sad already for Survivor since I know that a lot of the fans of this show will flock to the other show and if the two wind up competing against each other again, some might not return to Survivor, especially if they got rid of Ken Jeong. But I’d have to imagine that one would feel safer with the show they stuck with longer. This still might be the go to replacement for most Survivor fans.

Of course, one could remain loyal to the CBS network that airs Survivor. After finishing with Big Brother, they are finally set to air a long delayed The Amazing Race that I believe will be the last season of the show since they just won’t feel like doing it for quite a while again. It might never return enough though they had filmed a bit of what was supposed to be the next season of the show already before they had to stop, much like other shows did, even the domestic productions.

ABC has largely been airing filler now, but will be airing The Goldbergs then American Housewife during the time that Survivor will normally be on. I have gone in and out of those shows already a lot as I can do that with sitcoms. What’s also worth noting is that I was into Chicago Med at one point, but gave it up when it moved to compete with Survivor (and I was getting bored with it). That is an NBC show. At least The Goldbergs is in syndication now, but not all of those shows in syndication are on every network that one could watch where they live. Neither are back yet, so if you want an immediate replacement, you don’t want to wait for them in November.

There are plenty of other networks with plenty of other shows. With a recent schedule change, I have no idea what My Network TV is airing right now. One doesn’t even have to watch a show at all when it comes to what’s on TV and some might not try to cover all hours of primetime like I often do. So feel free to read a book during this time. It’s too late to spend time outside. If there are old seasons of Survivor that you want to watch instead, you can. Make whatever you want to out of this long break of the show and these are just the shows that are on now that I know about. Watch whatever you want to if you want to watch something at all. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
