Why isn't 'This Is Us' Season 4 Episode 16 airing tonight? Here's when you can see Kevin-Randall's big fight
'This Is Us' filled hearts with hope after the last episode titled 'Clouds' brought Kevin Pearson (Justin Hartley) closer to his mom Rebecca Pearson (Mandy Moore). However, it also hinted at the jealous streak of Randall Pearson (Sterling K Brown).
Randall has been taking care of his mother for years now and he definitely will be irked to see Kevin step up and suddenly steal his spot as the "fun" one. Moreover, Randall also finally gave his green light to therapy. Somehow, the tiff between Randall and Kevin could be connected to his therapy. Will Dr Leigh (Pamela Adlon) be the reason they are not on talking terms in the future? Or is it Kevin's closeness to his mom and the different approaches of the two sons in handling her? Only time will tell.
For now, there is a long wait ahead. The heartwarming NBC show is not airing tonight because of Super Tuesday. In its slot, the network will air NBC News Decision 2020 Super Tuesday from 8 pm to 11 pm.
Fans are super excited to see what Episode 16 brings but their hopes have been dampened by the delay. "A Tuesday with no #ThisIsUs is tragic," one fan wrote and another said, "I take it #ThisIsUs ain’t coming on tonight."
Another upset viewer wrote, "Why can’t the 15 dedicated news & political channels just update us one the primaries ... why do we have to miss our shows?" Another one posted, "Why can’t we have both #ThisIsUs and #SuperTuesday???? We all have cellphones. We can ALL multitask. F**king Boomers."
"What a disappointment when you find out your Tuesday night shows aren’t on because of the election coverage. #ThisIsUs #NewAmsterdam," one fan wrote.
Titled 'New York, New York, New York', the new episode will show rivalry between the two sons. A 15-second promo makes it quite clear that Kevin's growing closeness with Rebecca will spell trouble in the future. In a scene, Randall can be heard saying, "I've been taking care of mom for 20 years." Kevin, however, argues, "Wrap your brain around the fact that maybe, just maybe, I actually know what's good for our mother."
Catch the new episode next week on Tuesday as it airs at 9 pm ET on NBC.
