Now of the networks did that for say, the whole month of July, what kind of ratings do you think they would get? Would you watch the shows? I for one, know that it wouldn't do too well in the ratings. I'd love it to death, but I doubt it would be highly rated. I'd love some of the nights, especially CBS's Friday, ABC's Tuesday, CBS's Thursday, and ABC's Wednesday...NBC's Tuesday too
