Season 37 Saturday Reruns

The rotation jumped again on 12/26, from 11/25/19 (S36 E56, Elise [Day 4]/Beth/Stephen) to 1/20/20 (S36 E96, Dennis [Day 2]/Matthew/Traci). This stretch will continue even after Alex's final first-run episodes run out.

Now that basketball season is underway, overrun from College Basketball or NBA games may affect weekend airings of Wheel. The East Coast time slots are unaffected, but some CBS stations that air it at 7:00 have been joining it in progress due to running local news late and/or CBS Weekend News following College Basketball, which is scheduled to end at 6:00 or 6:30. If the game is scheduled until 6:00, most CBS stations run local news then CBS Weekend News at 6:30, but if it the game runs past 6:00, some stations will run a full 30 minutes of local news and follow it with CBSWN delayed, then JIP whatever show is at 7:00. If the game is scheduled until 6:30 and runs past then, CBSWN gets truncated and does not spill past 7:00 for stations that air it, but some CBS stations pre-empt this with local news at 6:30 that does spill past 7:00 to run a full 30 minutes, JIP'ing whatever show is at 7:00. West Coast ABC's mostly move Wheel to primetime slots.


Wheel is back as of 1/30.


Either this was a short-lived experiment or a listings error; Weekend Wheel is back (if it was even ever gone) here as well.

Tonight's rerun had the CBS Media Ventures logo and current Sony Pictures Television logo edited in. Did they do that it in last Saturday's rerun? I didn't watch it so I don't know. CBS Television Distribution and the previous Sony Pictures Television logo were both retained in January 23's rerun

Not sure if it's a coincidence, but it now looks like they're picking the reruns such that they're very close to one year from their original air dates. The reruns for March 6, 13, and 20 are from consecutive weeks that fell on those dates in 2020.

Christian Dixie's episode, the only episode of S37's College Week Spring Break to not be on Netflix, is rerunning on March 20! Unfortunately, that airing is going to be pre-empted on all CBS stations by March Madness, including Christian's home station WANE.

Weekend Wheel returns to its normal time slots on West ABC's this weekend. No more Saturday NBA for now.

April 10 is listed as a placeholder for some reason. Guess they haven't picked episodes from that point on yet. J! has proper episode info listed for that day, since it's just going in order with the past several weekends.

Finally. 4/10 onwards are still listed as placeholders on Xfinity, but Zap2It added the episode info after 12:00 PM today.

April 10 is 11/13/2019 (America's Game I Day 3, set of Spa Getaway; Emily/Dianne/Scott). Another "three-peat". The first airing of this episode was pre-empted on some ABC affiliates, including all the O&O's, due to the CMA Awards red carpet. It reran during the last week of the summer break on 9/9/2020, between the last two episodes of Season 37. This is also a rare case of an episode airing three times in three different calendar years.

April 17 is 3/27/2020 (Gone Fishin' Day 5; Alex/Terri/Brittany).

Both of these episodes are Bonus Round wins.

Only about two-thirds through the season, there are already nine "three-peat" episodes. For comparison, Seasons 33 and 36 had none, Season 34 had five, and Season 35 had two.


J! is jumping again.



After 4/10 (3/3/20, S36 E127, Bruce [Day 2]/Mike/Kim, last show before six-game champ Paul Trifletti's run), on 4/17, the rotation jumps to a stretch starting with 1/22/20 (Dennis [Day 4]/John/Lau) that was originally scheduled to air starting 1/9/21, the first weekend after Alex's last episode. I assume that will run up to 7/24/21, at which point it would be at S36 E113, then it will jump to another spot since S36 E114 and onwards already reran.

For the first time, we're getting a Netflix episode after Wheel's addition to Netflix. Seeing how they excluded Christian's episode from Netflix only to give it a rerun shortly after, it made me think they would avoid airing any of the Netflix episodes again on TV when they can already be watched there, but I guess not.


Also, Jeopardy!'s rotation jumped at the top of this month and will be jumping again soon. May 29 (Memorial Day Weekend) was 1/30/20 (Joshua [Day 2]/Michelle/David). June 6 was 10/9/19 (Jessica [Day 3]/Emily/Steven), and continued through 10/11/19 (Geoff [Day 2]/Susan/Lindsey) airing on June 19. On June 26, six episodes are skipped to 10/22/19 (Ryan [Day 2]/Martha/Andre), then continues from there for now.
