Okay, gather 'round, fellow This Is Us fanatics! Let's talk about something super important: Season 7. The question everyone’s whispering, the one that keeps us up at night…
Wait, Did Someone Say Season 7?
I know, I know! You're probably thinking, "Hold on a minute, didn't This Is Us end with Season 6?" And you, my friend, are absolutely right! But let's have a little fun, shall we?
Imagine, just for a moment, that somehow, some way, the Pearson family were magically back on our screens for another season. Let’s playfully explore this "what if?" scenario as a fun thought experiment, okay?
Let's Dream a Little...
Now, if NBC suddenly announced *Season 7*, how many episodes would we *hope* for? My gut tells me, the more, the merrier!
Think about it. We need enough time to catch up with everyone. We'd need at least, like, twenty episodes, right? I mean, that's practically a minimum for a show as epic as This Is Us.
Twenty episodes would give us ample time to explore new family dramas, uncover long-lost secrets, and, of course, induce a sufficient amount of happy-sobbing.
Reality Check: Numbers Game
Okay, okay, back to planet Earth. Since *This Is Us* concluded with Season 6, there’s sadly no actual Season 7 to dissect episode counts for.
But, for argument's sake, seasons typically ranged from 16 to 18 episodes. Season 1 blessed us with 18, while seasons 2 and 3 gave us a generous 18 episodes each. Season 6, however, gave us 18 tear-jerking episodes as well.
So, if a miraculous Season 7 *did* exist, we could *guess* it would follow a similar pattern, possibly hitting that sweet spot of 16-18 episodes. But alas, it's all just wishful thinking, isn't it?
Why We're So Obsessed With Episodes
Why do we even care about the number of episodes? It's simple: we're emotionally invested! These characters feel like family.
Every episode is a precious little window into their lives. We laugh with them, cry with them, and yell at our TVs when they make questionable decisions (we've all been there, right?).
More episodes mean more time with the Pearsons, more opportunities for heart-wrenching moments, and more tissues purchased in bulk. It's a win-win, really... or it *would* be, if Season 7 were actually a thing.
The *This Is Us* Legacy
Even without a Season 7, the legacy of This Is Us lives on. We can always re-watch our favorite episodes, analyze the storylines, and debate who's the "best" Pearson (it's obviously Randall, just kidding… maybe!).
The show taught us about family, love, loss, and the beautiful messiness of life. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there's always hope and connection to be found.
So, while we might not be getting a Season 7, we can cherish the six seasons we *did* get. And who knows, maybe one day we'll get a spin-off featuring baby Jack Damon as a rockstar! A person can dream, right?
Final Thoughts (and a Little More Dreaming)
So, to recap: No, there’s no *actual* Season 7 and therefore no episode count to report. Sad, I know. But let's keep the dream alive!
Imagine a mini-series focusing on Nicky and his life after finding love! Or maybe a prequel about Jack and Rebecca's early days!
Ultimately, This Is Us gave us six wonderful seasons, and that's something to celebrate. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go re-watch the pilot and sob uncontrollably. Join me?
