Very happy to see 'Cougar Town' is doing relatively well for them! Shocked it's doing better than Raymond, Office, and Fresh Prince especially, but very happy about it. The Tuesday ratings are quite stable as well. They've grown in viewers week to week in episodes 2-4 and is averaging a 0.9. Not too shabby.

Sad to see Rules of Engagement that low.

Ughhh. Why does no one promote this show? It's a very solid option both in repeats and new episodes - when promoted.

No chance CBS renews it now given its low syndication numbers.

Agreed. The only way I possibly see Rules of Engagement coming back is if it stays above a 3.0 all season (doubtful) and CBS decides to cancel Two and a Half Men (also doubtful, per comments from Nina Tassler).

From what the cast has said, at least one storyline wraps up in the series finale: Jen and Adam tie the knot. Not sure how they've dealt with Sara Rue's absence though. Maybe a time jump? Or Jeff and Audrey get a call at the wedding that she's in labor?

The show's timeline has always been confusing, and it'll probably be more so now. In season 6, Jen mentions that she and Adam had been together 4 years, and if they had already been going out 6-7 months in the Pilot, that means the series has taken place a little over three years in six seasons.

Home Improvement did not deserve to be removed from the Weekday schedule on TBS. Wipeout being put on TBS is escalating the problem big time so please replace "Wipeout" with "Home Improvement" on the Weekday schedule on TBS for April.

yankeesrj12 · 02-21-2013, 12:32 PM

TBS has removed the 1130 episode of Rules of Engagement in favor of a full hour of According to Jim (1130 to 1230).

EmoJoe · 02-21-2013, 03:49 PM

Rules of Engagement is the new Yes, Dear. It survived for a long time because it was slotted in between high-rated shows, but no one really cares about it. Not surprised to see it struggling in syndication.

tooltime1987 · 02-21-2013, 04:18 PM

Reality shows invading the sitcom line-up on TBS f***ing sucks big time.
BRING BACK HOME IMPROVEMENT TO THE WEEKDAY SCHEDULE IN APRIL!!!

tooltime1987 · 02-22-2013, 07:00 PM

I am glad that According to Jim has got it's one hour block back on TBS!!!

tooltime1987 · 02-28-2013, 04:14 PM

I miss "Home Improvement" airing Weekday Mornings at 7:00AM & 7:30AM on TBS because I would have my coffee and watch Home Improvement.

tooltime1987 · 02-28-2013, 04:18 PM

I think The King of Queens should air after Everybody Loves Raymond on TBS because The King of Queens is a take-off of Everybody Loves Raymond.

tooltime1987 · 02-28-2013, 05:52 PM

If Home Improvement does not return to the Weekday Schedule on TBS I will start to file a lawsuit against TBS or Turner Broadcasting over this!!!
