I agree. It would make more sense to move the show back to Wednesdays if the network was trying to save it.. The audience for Happy Endings and LMS are totally different. I doubt it's going to do well here.

I don't blame ABC for wanting to try and make Suburgatory bigger behind Modern Family, but the plan backfired. I will applaud ABC for noticing the shrinking ratings and wanting to move Suburgatory back to its 830 home sometime in March or April.

They need to move Revenge back too.

Agreed. Best line-up.

Disagree there. Revenge was up from last season up until the last 2-3 airings.

ABC really had no other options for the 9pm timeslot. Premiering two new dramas back to back probably would have been more trouble for ABC. Imagine how bad it might be had the schedule been AFV, Once Upon a Time, Nashville, 666 Park Avenue. Yikes! ABC probably took the best route possible when it decided to move Revenge. The only other option would have been Scandal, but it wasn't as strong as it is now.

Regarding Revenge, I think the ratings reflect the quality more than anything. I'm two episodes behind, but this season has been a snooze-fest. I hear last nights episode was good, so I'm hopeful for a turnaround.

I wish ABC would stop screwing around with the programs they are causing the low ratings. The shows were doing fine on Wednesdays.

I think APT23 would have still failed because this season the show just became too stupid

ABC could have moved Castle to Sundays.
