Anyway, more specials (I'll edit the full list in here: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...ostcount=180):

Monday, December 14, 2009
8:00pm Shrek the Halls
8:30pm Disney Prep & Landing

Monday, December 21
8:00pm I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown

Monday, December 28
8:00pm-11:00pm ABC Monday Movie of the Week: "Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End"

Let's Dance and/or Secret Millionaire have got to be for Mondays and Tuesdays at 9, with holiday specials leading in.

You don't think they might premiere SCRUBS/BOT Tuesday Dec 1st at 9pm?
Is it definitely Jan? They coud start promoting during V which would give them 4 weeks of promotion

That is a good idea actually. That would give them three or four more episodes not against Idol.

tvcrazed · 10-22-2009, 05:17 PM

Yes, also they could double up on SCRUBS the first few weeks and run anotehr episode Wed at 8p.

Pavan · 10-22-2009, 05:45 PM

Sounds good to me. I hope they air The Polar Express on Sunday, Nov. 29 this year instead of that Friday after Thanksgiving. There are already movies airing on NBC and Fox on that Friday. DH/B&S will likely be new on Dec. 6 and 13, since the Survivor finale is Dec. 20. Polar Express could air 8-10pm on Nov. 29 followed by a DH repeat 10 or better yet comedy repeats of The Middle or Modern Family.

tvcrazed · 10-22-2009, 06:30 PM

Your Sunday idea sounds great, esp with the comedies at 10. Always annoys me that they waste that movie on Fri. Wish they would have a 2d run close to Christmas on ABC. Also good to have new eps thru the 13th. Wish they could extend Thurs shows that far, esp since Sunday hiatus will probably be less. I assume Jan 3rd or so, whereas Thurs will be no earlier than Jan 14th.

Not to beat a dead horse but look how CBS is getting Surivor thru til the 20th. DWTS ends Nov 25th - a month earlier. GREYS is probably done after the 3rd (and that's gonna be 11 eps). I wish they would extend their hits better.

tvcrazed · 10-22-2009, 06:35 PM

I know it's the last night of sweeps but please ABC please air reruns of comedies on Thanksgiving eve and not waste fresh eps on this night.

Pavan · 10-22-2009, 06:42 PM

I could see ABC airing Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (half-hour version) on Thanksgiving Eve and maybe burn off some Hank episodes if they don't air any in November. Or maybe they will air Secret Millionaire that night. The comedies (Middle, Modern Family, Cougar Town) can easily go through Dec. 9 or even Dec. 16, if they don't air on Nov. 25. Giving MF/CT 10-11 episodes, and Middle 9-10 episodes.

ABC also has a Jennifer Hudson holiday special in December. They'll probably air that on a Tuesday at 8.

robyrob · 10-22-2009, 06:57 PM

Pavan, if Eastwick is consistently matching or beating Jay Leno's ratings, what are its chances of survival?

Pavan · 10-22-2009, 06:59 PM

Eastwick needs to be doing better. It's a shame because it is good.

I really hope HANK gets cancelled now. There is no need to keep it on. The comedies would do better without it. I know they have enough eps to run comedies until the 16th, I just know that CBS is the only net not to get hurt with fresh programming on Thanks eve and I would hate to see the avg for the comedies hit 2's and then people start saying they are dropping. It's not worth it. Honestly running a holiday movie would be a better option that night. But it seems like they are set to run fresh eps again.

tvcrazed · 10-22-2009, 10:58 PM

In addition to new CBS episodes NBC has a 2 hour BIGGEST LOSER on Thanks Eve. ABC should not run new eps.

You have wanted Hank to be cancelled since it was picked up in May, you were against it from the start.

tvcrazed · 10-23-2009, 03:04 PM

wrong guy. I wanted it to be cancelled since I saw it and saw that America agreed with the critics and gave it low ratings. I think it's hurting the other 3 better shows that follow it.
