CBS Comedies.... What Should Be Done With Their Schedule. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

With Two And A Half Men looking like it will end its season on Febuary 14th(ISH), CBS will have to consider what to do with the schedule know. First, they can't just keep airing repeats, so maybe, they should re-configulate their schedule a tiny bit.... Heres what i had in mind....

Monday
8:00 - How I Met Your Mother
8:30 - Rules Of Engagements
9:00 - Mike And Molly
9:30 - Mad Love

Thursday
8:00 - Big Bang Theory
8:30 - $#*! My Dad Says

________

Know, some of you might be thinking what the hell is wrong with me, but listen. First, Mike And Molly has proven itself to be a stable contender of CBS's Monday Night Comedy Lineup, so moving that to 9:00 for a few weeks near the end of the season, starting in march maybe, would mean a few things. First, Rules Of Engagements can stay at 8:30 on mondays, not moving to the thrusday night slot after Big Bang, witch leaves that slot open for $#*! My Dad Says, which is not that bad actually. Since they have this extra money that they won't be spending on Men, they could spend it on $#*!, making its season longer and giving it more time on the air to prove itself before it gets shoved out the door. And, having Mad Love at a good time slot, 9:30 after Mike And Molly, would help it find a good audience that will follow it wherever it may end up next season. Look At Big Bang. One Monday night outing one night after one of Obamas speech breathed new life into the show, and now its one of the biggest hits on TV.

Know i'm not saying this schedule is perfect, but it's better than having that big hole of repeats that will be airing at 9:00.

What are you thinking should be done. Share your toughs on here. .....

i think they'll just show repeats of Two And A Half Men and it will probably get better ratings than anything else they could replace it with.

Besides a few special airings possibly, it will be just repeats of Men:

Men repeats well. And gets the most ad money of the CBS sitcoms.

Although CBS has ordered 4 extra episodes of "Rules of Engagement" and 4 extra episodes of "Mike and Molly". So maybe on some Monday's we'll get an extra episode of "Rules of Engagement" and on others will get an extra episode of "Mike and Molly".

I agree. It will probably be 2.5 repeats.

I can not believe the ratings this show STILL gets. It's not like it's the best sitcom on TV.

JulieSomoski · 02-01-2011, 10:42 PM

Two and a Half Men thrives on controversy. Always. It's latest repeat airing, yesterday, scored 11 million viewers and a 3.1 one demo, which is I believe the highest repeat airing of the season. It'll likely continue like that as people get more and more intrigued by the story surrounding Charlie Sheen. And, when CBS' lineup is all-new, Men repeats might even likely score as high as original episodes. CBS has absolutely nothing to worry about

Jude The Obscure · 02-01-2011, 11:41 PM

CBS's plan to move Rules to Thursday had to do with ___ My Dad Says being finished with its episodes for the season. I notice CBS didn't order extra episodes of that.....maybe secretly they are embarrassed by it and hoping that Rules retains more of Big Bang's lead in and giving them a reason to scuttle the Shat-com.

Oh, yes it is!!! Although William Shatner's not far behind.

Am I the only one who DOESN"T get 2 and 1/2 Men. What is funny about that show anyway?

factsoflife · 02-05-2011, 12:03 AM

I would move Mike and Molly to Thursdays behind Big Bang and leave Rules on Mondays with the shatner sitcom.
