Fall schedule at least at NBC, CBS and ABC look to be about 1 to 2 months behind their usual schedules, most of the dramas and sitcoms showing up in November at least they plan to anyhow, usually most of these shows would premiere late September to first week of October.

Time will tell though,.

Will be curious how they deal with this season, mainly if shows that stopped production early in the spring and didn't complete their season, will they finish the last season or not, some left abruptly without finishing storylines.

I don't think we have been to a movie in years, I just watch them when they are on demand if they look good, but most are not worth watching for me anyhow.

Most of what I watch isn't on streaming or only past seasons are, so I get eager for new episodes come fall of everything I watch...lol

I see that England has "a rule of 6" that comes into affect on Monday. No word yet if it will still be enforced over Christmas.
