Why is 'The Good Doctor' Season 4 Episode 11 not airing on ABC? Lim in the spotlight again on medical drama
Fans of 'The Good Doctor' tuning in to ABC on Monday, March 1, might be disappointed to find an older episode being telecast. In that, there is no new episode of 'The Good Doctor' Season 4 airing on the network for at least another week. While viewers might be used to the random hiatuses between seasons of the show, an abrupt drop in the flow of watching Dr. Shaun Murphy wade his water through the confusing waters of socializing at his workplace is never welcomed. Read on to find out why Shaun and co. aren't returning to ABC tonight, and when to expect the upcoming Episode 11.
Why is 'The Good Doctor' not airing a new episode?
The answer most likely has to lie in stalled productions due to the pandemic, which has stopped a lot of network shows from filming bulk episodes in advance. Other than that, there's also the high possibility of a reduced number of episodes this season, perhaps this is why ABC is pausing every now and then to spread out the entire season for a few months' air time. Anyway, it only means a longer time for the show to be on air and it never hurts to watch older episodes, does it?
