New Episodes Spaceed Out? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I wonder why the show is averaging only one new episode per month. Are the ratings down? I thought February was sweeps month so I would think that they would want to show a new episode each week in Feb.

I missed last week's episode so I don't know what happened in that. There won't be another new episode until March.

They are spacing the episodes out, but I think that has more to do with the fact that they don't want new episodes airing against the Olympics rather than ratings being down.

In fact, the last new episode (A Family Unfair) was the highest ratings the show has had since moving to Wednesday, so low ratings aren't a factor at all. They just want to save the new episodes when they will have the best shot at achieving high ratings.
