What Day Is The Show This Is Us On

Wait, What Day Is This Is Us* On?* (A Mildly Obsessed Fan's Plea)

Okay, deep breaths everyone. I need to confess something. I still can't remember what day This Is Us aired on.

I know, I know. Sacrilege, right? Should a true fan even admit this? Probably not. But here we are.

The Trauma of Tuesday Nights (Or Was It?)

For years, I swore it was Tuesday. My whole week revolved around grabbing tissues and bracing myself for the emotional rollercoaster.

Must Read

Tuesdays became synonymous with the Pearson family. The day after Monday...the day before Hump Day (for those who like to plan their week around Wednesdays).

But then...doubt crept in. Was I misremembering? Did I hallucinate all those years?

The Great This Is Us Day Debate (in My Head)

My brain started playing tricks on me. Maybe it was Wednesday? Or even Thursday? I started questioning my entire existence.

This Is Us Season 6: Release Date, Cast, Spoiler, and Exclusive

I mean, wasn't Thursday the night for prime-time dramas? Could This Is Us, with all its feels, fit in there?

The horror! Could I have been watching it on demand the whole time and just completely lost track of reality?

Consulting the Oracle (aka Google)

Naturally, I did what any sane person would do. I turned to the internet. Google, my old friend, please help me.

The results were...confusing. Mixed signals everywhere. Some sites said Tuesday. Others whispered about different days.

I felt like Jack Pearson trying to figure out VCR settings. Utterly lost in a sea of technological jargon (or, in this case, website information).

The Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)

Here it is. My truly shocking confession. I think This Is Us could have aired on any day and still been a hit.

Yep, I said it. The writing was so good, the characters so relatable, the emotional punches so perfectly timed...it transcended the day of the week.

People would have tuned in regardless. We were addicted. Plain and simple.

So, What Day Was It Really?

Okay, okay, I'll stop being dramatic. I did eventually confirm (multiple times) that This Is Us primarily aired on Tuesday nights. Relief washed over me.

My Tuesdays were safe. My memories were (mostly) intact. I could finally sleep at night.

But...a tiny part of me still wonders. What if it had been on a different day? Would we have loved it any less? I think not.
