Okay, let's be real. Remembering what day *This Is Us* aired felt like a weekly pop quiz.
The Tuesday Tradition... Mostly?
For a long time, it was Tuesdays! We all knew it. Tuesdays were for crying, for laughing, for wondering if Jack was actually a superhero.
Tuesday nights were *This Is Us* nights. Pizza, tissues, and the Pearsons. A perfect trio, right?
But then... things got weird. It was like the universe was conspiring against our carefully curated viewing schedules.
The Great Hiatus Hunt
Remember those agonizing breaks? You'd get all emotionally invested. BAM! Hiatus! Where did The Pearsons go?
Suddenly, you're questioning everything. Are we even worthy of their story? When will they grace our screens again?
And then, trying to remember which TUESDAY was the RIGHT Tuesday... Ugh. Mental gymnastics.
The Unpopular Opinion
Okay, here it comes. My unpopular opinion: Maybe *This Is Us* should have picked a different day. Or, dare I say, released the whole season at once?!
I know, I know. The weekly anticipation was part of the experience. But so was the frustration of constantly Googling, "When does This Is Us actually come on this week?!"
Don't get me wrong. I loved the show! I just think my brain cells deserved a little less stress.
I can see it now. The internet explodes with rage. "How DARE you question Tuesday?!"
But hear me out! Think of the possibilities! No more scheduling conflicts! No more missing episodes because you forgot which day it was!
The Binge-Watching Dream
Imagine: a cozy weekend. All episodes of This Is Us at your fingertips.
You could cry at your own pace. No commercial interruptions. Just pure, unadulterated Pearson family feels.
Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away. But a girl can dream, right?
So, What Days *Did* It Come On?
Officially? Mostly Tuesdays on NBC. But let's be honest. It felt like a moving target sometimes.
Between preemptions for sports or special events, and those dreaded hiatuses, keeping track was a full-time job.
We needed a *This Is Us* calendar. With flashing lights and alarms. Just to be sure.
And don't even get me started on streaming. Hulu? Peacock? It was a digital scavenger hunt every week!
The good news? The show is over. We no longer have to play the "What day is it?" game.
The bad news? We miss Randall, Kate, and Kevin dearly. Sigh.
In Conclusion: The Pearsons Owned Tuesdays (and Our Hearts)
Even if remembering the exact day was a challenge, the show itself was worth it. All the tears. All the feels.
So, let's raise a glass (of wine, of course – what else?) to This Is Us.
May we never forget the complicated journey, or the even more complicated question of what day it actually aired.
Just kidding (mostly). It was usually Tuesday. But don't quote me on that.
