Dear newsletter subscribers,

Here we are in mid-April already, which seems surprising! Perhaps that’s because, as I wrote to you on Friday, I dated the Friday newsletter as if it was March for the past two weeks, so now I’m surprised to find myself a month later.

If this was a normal spring, reality TV would be just around the corner, but it's not, alas, it’s anything but normal for most of us—and I hope you’re safe and well.

While we may eventually feel the absence of new content soon, whether that's Big Brother this summer or Survivor next fall, networks are churning out new shows: 19 shows and seasons premiere in the next seven days alone.
