ABC Upfront: Fall 2009 - Page 110 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I really don't think the last few weeks of summer at 10pm is a big priority for ABC right now as they are focusing on the fall schedule. Even if they had comedy or whatever else, it would just be random programming, people wouldn't know about it and it would get either the same or possibly less than the newsmags are getting.

You sure are spending a lot of your time thinking and re-thinking what ABC should do. Stability is more sensible than panicking like you do every time a show a bad or below average rating. The summer season is done and there is no need to move everything around to try gaining .2 average.

My issues with them stem from their scheduling in general, but yes I realized this discussion went on way too long for a few hours that aren't ultimately that important (and I basically said as such in my last post). I made my initial comments about this before it aired, before I saw the ratings.I apologize if it irked you or anyone else.

It didn`t bother me. I know you are passionnate about wanting ABC to succeed and it frustrates you when do they something you consider a bad decision. I am a big ABC too and I can understand. No worries, just wanted to give my opinion that even tough we want success, this particular battle doesn't really matter much

You're right. Thanks.

Might be cool for ABC to run the Comedy Fall Preview special Wed at 8:30 - has top 5 Mod Fam Moments etc.
