Wife Swap must do decent for them or they wouldnt place it all over the schedule, right?

Can't wait for Medium 5 days a week. I wonder if they'll even air it in the afternoons where Wifeswap is, though. it doesn't exactly strike me as a daytime show.

Well it isn't primetime. Lifetime airs syndicated stuff 8am-8pm and 11pm-3am.

ryan423 · 07-06-2009, 01:40 AM

Reba for 3 hours? It's one of my all-time favorites, but that's pure overkill! Lifetime is pulling a "Fresh Prince on Nick @ Nite."

Maybe 11pm then? Thats when it was airing on weekends previously.

Pavan · 07-06-2009, 02:00 AM

I think they are better off with comedies there. They do well then.

factsoflife · 07-06-2009, 07:48 PM

I take it that Cybill hasn't been doing very well since they've moved it into the 2am timeslot?

ekkostar · 07-06-2009, 09:10 PM

If they're getting Less Than Perfect, they should also have a limited run of I'm With Her, I haven't seen that show since its initial run in 2003. Lifetime seems to be turning into an ABC Family clone these days and they're moving away from the femininity. I never really saw where Frasier fit in, but with the way they're piling up on other syndicated shows, I won't be surprised if Frasier is gone from Lifetime soon.

I still watch Frasier in the mornings, but I agree - this might be the next show to go or be cut down. It's been airing in that 10am slot since it premiered on the network.

I also wouldn't be stunned if they got rid of "Will & Grace" as well. I believe that show's contract must be near it's expiration date?

icecream · 07-09-2009, 12:31 PM

When does Frasier's contract with Lifetime expire, and is it exclusive? I think it might be gone when Old Christine comes, or if its kept given even worse timeslots than it has now.

I'd like to see TBS or WGN pick it up if Lifetime doesn't want it.

Pavan · 07-09-2009, 02:02 PM

Frasier is a 5 year deal (thru March 2011) and it is exclusive. So Frasier isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Not sure why you guys are writing off Will & Grace and Frasier. Both are going no where and have shown no signs of moving to bad time slots.

clj2 · 07-09-2009, 02:14 PM

Frasier can't be doing as well as Reba though....which is surprising, given what a hit Frasier was when it originally aired.

I wonder what what will happen to Fraiser in 2011....I would love to see it on TBS, not really sure of anywhere else it could go, unless they renew at Lifetime of course.

Scoobiedoo30 · 07-09-2009, 02:20 PM

I think Frasier could get renewed by Lifetime Network.

No, I don't think these shows are going anywhere, but I think they will be downplayed or moved come September.
