Empire is the best FOX show so far, but I think FOX Tuesday Nights need something strong to save that night from bankruptcy.

That should help move those FOX Tuesday Night comedies to FOX Wednesday Nights instead.

FOX putting their comedies against Modern Family would be a terrible move. Empire is either staying where it is or moving an hour earlier on Wednesdays to lead into a new drama. It's not moving to Tuesdays, supposedly Scream Queens will go there.

I think Empire is staying on Wednesday 9pm since American Idol will take 8pm slot in midseason, Scream Queens could end on Wednesdsay 8pm, I think it will only have 12-13 episodes.

FOX should start S2 of Empire after baseball ends.

Will Season 1 be rerun anytime soon? I missed it the first time and I really want to see it.

Seems like a waste to have their biggest show since Idol's heyday airing at 9 PM where it can't prop up a new show. My guess is it moves to Wednesdays at 8:00 and Idol goes elsewhere. Plus, Wednesdays at 8:00 is a fairly noncompetitive hour so it could get even bigger.

It needs to move to Tuesdays and FOX needs something strong on that night immediately!

FOX Tuesday night comedies should move to FOX Wednesday nights to be safe from danger, but they have to be put in a safe hour away from the hour of competing Modern Family and Middle.

American idol is about to get axed after this season, that I predict.

If the FOX comedies should air anywhere, its Friday night. They already air on a pretty-dead Tuesday night and have low ratings. On Wednesdays it would only get significantly worse.

Empire will stay on Wednesdays.

It is too soon for the FOX Tuesday Night comedies
to get aired on Friday night, because that Friday night is considered deadly and dangerous.

Wednesday nights, away from hour of Modern Family-Middle, should work. Then right after this season should be a good time to move those two comedies to Friday Nights.

FOX Tuesday Nights still need something strong like Empire and Empire should move to FOX Tuesday Nights to strengthen that block!:mad:

The only way to avoid them on Wednesdays is 8:30 and 9:30, and that would mean 2 new sitcoms leading off the hours. Not going to happen. The Mindy Project fell to anemic sub1 ratings on Tuesday. The only reason it will likely be renewed is Mindy needs 1 more season for syndication. It will probably get double pumped on Fridays like Raising Hope's final season was. New Girl does slightly better but is well past its prime, nowhere near the ratings it used to get. They've found something that works on Wednesdays with Empire, no point in moving it to Tuesdays.

Empire is a strong show that is doing so well I think it would be wise for Fox to move that show quickly to Thursdays at 9pm. I think pitting it against Scandal would be a genius programming decision and I think would actually hurt Scandal a lot.

It would also instantly improve Fox's ratings on Thursdays.

Scandal is weakening a lot so I could actually see Empire destroying it, but I still think they would be better off putting it in a noncompetitive hour where it could grow even bigger rather than putting it in a tough situation so early on. NBC tried to counterprogram Scandal with their once-promising The Blacklist this year, and it didn't work out so well for them. Empire is a much stronger show than The Blacklist ever was, but I still think it's best to let hit shows reach their full potential before taking any risks.

1.) First of all, they should move the Middle to 9:30PM after Modern Family.

2.) Scream Queens should get scheduled on FOX Wednesday nights to compete against Modern Family-Middle hour.

3.) Those two FOX Tuesday Night comedies should
move to FOX Wednesday nights at 8PM hour first, then after this upcoming season, move to the dreadful FOX Friday Nights afterwards, by then.

4.) Finally, FOX Tuesday nights still need something strong, like Empire and Empire should be the perfect choice to move to FOX Tuesday Nights ASAP!

You are delusional. ABC is not going to waste the lead in of Modern Family on The Middle since it is strong enough to lead off the night. If anything, I could see The Middle shifting to Tuesday nights at 8, but I think that is even unlikely.

Not that delusional yet, yankeesrj12.

By the way, let's put it this way:

* One of the two current FOX Tuesday night comedies should be put in one safe spot where it will not compete against Modern Family.

* The other of the two current FOX Tuesday night comedies should be put in the other safe sport where it will not compete against The Middle.

* The two new FOX comedies will pair up with their own two current FOX Tuesday night comedies each in their own hour and they will not be perfect as the current ones because they will be compete again the same spots as Modern Family and The Middle.

* Finally, those two current FOX Tuesday night comedies should not move to Friday nights until the 2016-2017 season because, if they move to Friday nights during this upcoming current season, then would be abrupted too quick and we don't want to tolerate that.
