I wish WVUE would have aired the show in the over Night Hour's maybe like at 3:05 am

JulieSomoski · 04-01-2009, 04:20 PM

Well, looks like those affiliates got their wish - it was a huge bomb last night. Actually, the demo was still great, but overall viewership was very disappointing. A lot more affiliates preempted it at the last minute last night, so yeah, somewhere around 16-20 didn't air it altogether.

Seeing those final numbers for Osbounes will be horrendous. I actually watched a little of it last night - couldn't get into The Mentalist at 9:30, so I showered, and watched the last 15 minutes of it. I didn't see what was so raunchy about it that locals didn't want to air it. It was just the Osbournes being the Osbournes. What more could you say?

LOL, I have to admit, I wasn't sure either. This is the network that is infamous for trash reality before. Remember the O.J. special?

Fringe has some REALLY creepy things happening and it'll be airing after family-friendly Idol next week, and let's not forget Moment of Truth aired after Idol for a few weeks last year, and then aired at 8 ET, 7 Central!

Mr. Television · 04-01-2009, 05:13 PM

They should have aired Fringe. That show has been off so long people will forget what it's about.

It's back next week with 6 straight episodes - although, FOX was advertising Bones' return with like 11 straight episodes, and so far, it came back and aired 1 episode every other week-LOL.

Yeah, it wasn't really raunchy or groundbreaking, but just crazy. It dipped down to about 8 million viewers in finals, though - that's definitely a bomb after a 25 million lead-in.

Changes:

Wednesday, April 15
8:00PM Bones (new, special night)

Monday, April 20
8:00PM Bones (new, special night)

Friday, May 22
9:00PM House (R)

Friday, May 29
9:00PM Mental (series premiere) -- new launch date (instead of 5/22).

JulieSomoski · 04-04-2009, 02:01 PM

That's a whole lot of Bones. First it was just scheduled for the special Wednesday airing, but I guess they also threw Monday in there too. All those preemptions by Obama put the show behind schedule, I guess.

Pavan · 04-27-2009, 08:25 PM

Fox is not airing the Presidential News Conference on Wednesday (April 29). LIE TO ME will air as scheduled.

SIT DOWN, SHUT UP will be moving to 7PM ET/PT effective next Sunday.

Changes:
Effective Sunday, May 3
7:00pm SIT DOWN, SHUT UP (new, replaces AMERICAN DAD! repeats)
7:30pm AMERICAN DAD! (repeats, replaces KING OF THE HILL)
8:30pm KING OF THE HILL (new, replaces SIT DOWN SHUT UP)

Fox is only airing 5 of the 13 produced episodes of SIT DOWN, SHUT UP right now. And with the move to 7PM, it is not looking good for a renewal.

Scoobiedoo30 · 04-27-2009, 08:30 PM

is the 6:00 pm CT Time a bad Time on Sunday Night's.

Worst possible timeslot. The show is DEAD! Ratings were already horrific at 8:30 when a lot more people are watching(plus it was between The Simpsons and Family Guy). 7pm hour is death, no way it's coming back.

Scoobiedoo30 · 04-28-2009, 11:35 AM

I never knew that the 6:00 pm CT Time Slot was a bad time Period.

Why not air all 13 of them at 7pm? It's not like repeats of American Dad are going to do any better.

Pavan · 04-28-2009, 03:40 PM

Not sure, but they had planned to air only 5 before even it premiered...

ekkostar · 04-28-2009, 04:16 PM

On DamnYouAll.net there's a rumor going around about American Dad entering the infamous Futurama Death Slot of 7:30pm starting next Fall.
That may explain why Volume 4's packaging so unimpressive and bland compared to past sets, it means they're putting less money into the series. I mean, American Dad got the Night Court-esque keep case treatment this time around!
