Here’s Why Chicago Med, Fire and P.D. Are Postponed This Week

If there's one thing I keep up with on network TV, it's the Chicago trio of shows.

You know, the group of procedurals so popular and set in the Windy City that the folks at NBC put together a three-hour block of the shows to air them back-to-back-to-back.

My Aspirations to Appear as an Extra

Selfishly, I've kept up because I've always wanted to appear on one of those three as an extra.

It sounded like a good time, but I've never been able to commit to just one day.

I'm not the only one because a large swath of their viewership comes from people who are from the Midwest.

The One Chicago Block

Anyway, I've heard people call this chunk of Chi-city goodness the "Chicago block," while Monsters and Critics call it One Chicago.

I was also on that website when I noticed that this week's One Chicago block of shows was being postponed.

A Special Reason for the Postponement

Curious as to why, I found it's not a big deal and a pretty cool reason to give the show the night off.

President Biden will deliver a farewell address to the nation from the Oval Office at 8/7c on Wednesday, January 15.
This is the first time President Biden will publicly speak from the Oval Office since he announced his withdrawal as a candidate for the 2024 presidential election.

Sure, there are going to be some who are disappointed, but it's an important moment in our nation's history.

I'll be tuning in to hear President Biden's farewell address and check in next week for the Chicago shows.
