Summer 2021 TV Schedule

 

Some spring shows still have an episode or two left, but Summer television kicks into high gear with the premiere of Loki today.  Interestingly this will be the first Disney Ploose show to debut on a day that is not Friday.  I wonder if going forward we will be getting Marvel shows on Wednesday and Star Wars shows stay on Fridays because we are getting close to the place where they will likely start airing concurrently.

 

Wednesday was the day when Disney’s other streaming service, Hulu, released their weekly shows, and 9 Perfect Strangers will come out that day, but later in the summer, they are releasing Only Murders in the Building on Tuesdays.  Then there will be two FX on Hulu shows airing on Mondays while two others will premiere on Thursdays.  It is nice that it looks like they are spreading things out so we do not have to cram everything in on weekends.  Now if only they would release the episodes in prime time so we do not have to wake up early to watch so we do not have to spend all say avoiding spoilers.  I have a Sophie’s Choice for the next two weeks as what to watch in the morning on Wednesdays: Loki, Cruel Summer, or The Handmaid’s Tale (all a part of the Disney cooperate family).

 

Speaking of FX on Hulu, one of those shows will be Y: The Last Man which I long ago dubbed the Chinese Democracy of television.  We will see if it actually does come out.  Hopefully it will be more worth the wait than the Guns ‘n’ Roses album was.  Here is everything else I will be watching while trying to stay cool.
