[…] Since we’re pretty much in the middle of the holiday season, it’s a bit of a mixed bag of TV. There’s a lot on, but most are specials. Still, there are some great things on, so be sure to check … Continue reading → […]
Thanks for all you do each week. Quick question. Does “What If…?” premiere Friday or Saturday?
yes haha Depends what you consider friday. it’s friday night into saturday so 3 hours into saturday (3am) that it’s on.
When I list a show at 3:01AM/2:01AMc, it’s on overnight the night before/EARLY the morning of the day I list it. So What If…? premieres overnight Friday night/EARLY Saturday morning. I do it that way because technically, it’s after midnight in the entire United States, so it’s technically on Saturday. Otherwise, trying to figure out when to start the new day of shows would be incredibly frustrating and could change depending on when shows air. So I’ve done it that way since the beginning of the site, way back in like…2007, I think? LOL
