I’m sorry, guys. I came down with the flu this past Tuesday, and I still feel awful. I just can’t shake it. I truly was going to try to do the “no-schedule schedule” for you, but I just feel sucky, so this is all I felt up for. Now I’m going to bed. Hopefully I can kick it in the next couple of days, because this SUCKS. Hubs is a few days behind me and is in the thick of it now too, so yeah… Gross around our house right now! Hope y’all are doing okay! <3 ~ Jenny
First off, let me just say that I am incredibly grateful for everyone who takes the time to visit this site, even if you never comment or interact. There wouldn’t be a site if I didn’t have viewers.
But I am TIRED, y’all. I started this site in 2007. And while it’s great that the site has evolved, when coupled with the growth of streaming and network shows, it means a lot more work. And aside from some great help some of the time, I’ve done the schedule primarily alone. I personally prefer the daily schedules, but I’ve had to cut them out simply because just doing the weekly is enough work. I literally spend ALL of my Saturday every week on the schedule. Sometimes I work on it off and on Friday and STILL have to spend the majority of my Saturday on it. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a labor of love. But that is one of only two days that I should be able to spend with my family, going grocery shopping, playing board games, catching up on shows we like to watch together. But I simply can’t. And while I love my work as a fiction book editor, sometimes I get so busy that it’s tough because I have to virtually do no work at all on the weekends because I do the schedule on Saturday and spend Sunday with my family. I know I sound like I’m complaining, and I am, but I don’t mean it as COMPLAINTS. I’m just literally stating facts.
So what does that mean? I need help. I have Taylor’s wonderful help doing Saturday. But if I don’t want to find myself in tears on Saturday afternoons or dreading the weekends, I need another person or two who can help take like…Tuesday and Friday (the least busiest days, generally, aside from Saturday) off my plate. If I can’t find help soon, I may just have to shut the site down to save my sanity. I HATE that thought. It’s been 18 years. EIGHTEEN YEARS. That is INSANE. To shut it down would be absolutely heartbreaking, because I literally feel like it’s my second child. But for a while, it’s felt like more of a burden than a gift, and I hate that.
So if you’re at all interested and have some time on Fridays or Saturday mornings to help with Tuesday or Friday, please, please send me an email.
I had every intention of doing the schedule today since the last of my family left about 7 a.m…but i got sick after lunch and have been sleeping all day. So hopefully tomorrow!
Hope everyone had a great week!
It’s hard to believe there are so few days left in 2024, but there are! As of this posting, there are only 10 days left! Scary, but I’m excited for 2025. What about you? I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or just a great end of the year and all a Happy New Year!

I’m sorry, but there’s no schedule for this week. I’m still slammed with work with two books due by December 31 & one by January 5. Given the holiday and the fact that I have 10 members of my family coming in from out of state on the 22nd and not leaving until the 28th, I just simply don’t have time. But also, given that it’s Christmas, there’s not a whole lot on besides specials and TV movies. So I’m going to list what is on and call it good. This goes for next week as well. I’ll make a decision for the week after Christmas closer to then. But for now, here’s this week’s new airings, and I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or just some time off if you don’t celebrate either of those! <3 Thank y’all so much for your understanding!
