Okay, so you’re wondering, “When is the next episode of The Good Doctor?” Been there, Googled that! Let me walk you through how I usually figure this out ’cause it’s not always straightforward.
First thing I do, check the official source. I start by going straight to the ABC website. Sounds obvious, right? But sometimes they’re not the quickest to update. I look for the show’s page and hunt for an “episodes” or “schedule” section. If I’m lucky, it’ll clearly state the next air date. If not, time for plan B.
Next up, IMDb. IMDb is usually pretty reliable. I search for “The Good Doctor” on IMDb, then find the episode list. They usually have the air dates listed right there. Plus, the community is pretty good about updating info quickly. So, I take a look at the episode list, see where the last aired episode was, and then look ahead for the next one with a date.
Then, I hit up Google (again, but differently). Instead of just Googling “when is the next the good doctor episode,” I try something more specific like “The Good Doctor season [current season number] episode schedule.” This often pulls up TV schedule websites or news articles that have compiled the episode dates. It’s a bit more targeted.
Social Media stalking, but in a good way! I check the show’s official social media accounts – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Often, they’ll announce upcoming episodes there. It’s usually a marketing thing for them, so they are pretty good at keeping us fans in the loop.
If all else fails, TV Guide listings. Remember TV Guide? Well, their website still exists, and it’s actually pretty useful. I search for the show there and see what the listings say for the next few weeks. This is usually my last resort because it’s a bit clunkier, but it’s saved me a few times.
Sometimes, there’s a break. The real kicker is when there’s a mid-season break or some other delay. That’s when those vague Google searches come in handy, because news articles will usually explain why there’s no new episode and when to expect the show to return.
So, to recap:
- Go to the ABC website first.
- Then, IMDb.
- Try a more specific Google search.
- Check social media.
- Finally, TV Guide.
Important note: Always double-check the time zone! It’s super annoying to wait for an episode only to realize it airs three hours later where you are.
Hope this helps! It’s a bit of a process, but it usually works. Happy watching!
