All that comes to mind when I see this is: March?!

[jae]

I have resigned myself to waiting, but my thing is: Why does it still say just 'March'? Why no actual date?

I want to make a wild guess, but I really have no idea either. Programming issues? FXNetworks future insecurities?

[treonb]

My guess is they haven't picked a day of the week yet.

They've already announced dates for their January-February shows though.

I have been thinking in the last few days if the decision to launch new season in March was FX's idea or somebody's in executive staff in the show. Maybe they needed more time - i.e. the storyline was not up to par.

[treonb]

I find that hard to believe.

[theplatonicnonyeah]

I just...there is some other reason they're not telling us. Most probably that they wanted to give more light to their new shows in January. At least that's what I've read.

They seem to be shooting on the same schedule as always, so I doubt it's got to do with the storyline--FX probably doesn't watch it that closely.

I think it's more to do with the OJ movie and the Zach Gallifinakis show.

I'm a little surprised to see March. They've been pretty consistent so far about a January start.

Person of Interest has had the same 'slippage' issue - the new season should have started by now and it's been delayed to Aprilish.

[treonb]

S2 started end of February and S3 started end of January, so March is not that much of a slippage. However, they have been quite consistent about announcing a month and then starting the show on the almost last day of that month, which might mean that we're actually looking at April.

Person of Interest is having a shortened last season and is really being pushed off compared to the usual fall starting date.

[theplatonicnonyeah]

But we haven't heard that this season would be shorter, have we? I certainly hope it won't be. Maybe this way they will be closer to the Emmy voting and have a better chance there?
