Small Talk: Get Flipped by the Red Chair

From the S16.E14 thread:

That second link is titled "Graham Norton gearing up for US move thanks to Harvey Weinstein":

I'm confused because I could've sworn Graham already had one attempt at doing a show in the US. Not just airing his current show on BBCA or another US channel. But I thought it already happened a handful of years ago, didn't have the same energy, didn't really work, and quickly went away. And I was disappointed because his current show works so well and is to me, more consistently funny than most standard US chat shows on currently. Maybe I hallucinated it?

For those keeping track, we've (US viewers) seen episodes 1-14, the holiday special and episodes 19 and 20. The only ones that are missing are episodes 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, the compilation show and the Eastenders special.

Episode 17 aired tonight so cross that one off the list as well.

It looks like episodes 15 and 18 are going to air next week (April 4th) and episodes 16 and the compilation show are going to air the following week (April 11th).

So episodes 21 (Comic Relief Special) and the Eastenders special are the only ones left and I don't think those are going to air in the states because season 17 is starting up on April 10th in the UK.

 

ETA- US viewers aren't going to get to see the Comic Relief and Eastenders specials because Season 17 starts airing here on April 18th.

I'm sure if we are clamoring for them there are places to see them but I can't link them here.

I read that the Weinsteins have purchased the North American airing rights.  So until they get the distribution deal they want, we won't be seeing the show here in the US.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/11/10/why-isnt-bbc-america-airing-new-episodes-of-graham-norton-ask-the-weinstein-company/   Boo freaking hiss!!!

I HATE the way BBC America is scheduling the show this year:  the Monday at 10 time conflicts with Full Frontal which MUST be watched first but then they roll out like 7 or 8 Grahams in a row overnight repeating the "new" one at 7 in the morning.  Since Norton features many of the same guests more than once, I can't keep straight what I've seen and what I haven't.

 

Hate it!

Ugh! More scheduling shenanigans from BBCA. They are now saying the show is moving to Thursday nights at 11pm ET, with this week's being 18:11 (Tina Fey, Kurt Russell). But my dvr schedule hasn't yet deleted the previously scheduled Monday night (DeNiro, Branagh) ep, even though it's no longer on the guide grid. 

 

They're flipping around like we're sitting in the Red Chair! Stop the madness!
