thinking of moving "My Name is Earl" to Thursdays Nights to boost the ratings for that particular night. Interesting moves

Ronn Harmon · 11-01-2005, 07:01 PM

CBS is moving CSI to Monday Nights and Two and a Half Men and Still Standing to Friday Nights.

Noooooo. Fox would be stupid to do that. Theyre doing amazing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Why mess up a good thing? CSI is the #1 show and I highly doubt AI would be able to steal the #1 spot for that timeslot.

Good thing for AI, if they do that, is that CSI has an older viewing audience, while AI has a younger one, so I doubt it'll have that much of an effect.

Cactus Jack · 11-01-2005, 07:47 PM

WHAAA? NOW ILL MISS MY NAME IS EARL!!! I LIKE THAT SHOW TOO!!!!!!!!! Pleease fox have AI on at 8/7c

EmoJoe · 11-01-2005, 08:42 PM

WHAT THE HECK?!?!

Id miss The Apprentice if theyd do that!

Fox would be the dumbest network EVER if they did that.

Oh wait, so is My Name is Earl gonna be on at 9 and The Apprentice somewhere else? Cause id be fine with that.

Ugh seriously. Why would they wanna kill their number one show? All of the other Fox shows do crappy in raitings anyway

Mr. Television · 11-01-2005, 08:56 PM

Its the Wednesday edition that they are considering moving.

DO NOT CALL THE NETWORK THE ALSO RUNS ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, FAMILY AND THE SIMPSONS DUMB!!!
and My Name Is Earl, its probably much better

Speaking as a fan of AI andt he 4 shows i also mentioned

Brent88 · 11-01-2005, 09:33 PM

The Results show would move to Thursday... the 1-hour show would stay on Tuesdays at 8.

It would not be a good move. The last time they did it(accidentially because of voting errors), Idol didn't do nearly as well as it usually does.

It's really going to have an uphill battle against Lost though. Lost is stronger than it was last season and it was not against it then either.

No... Earl would be in the 8pm hour(against DWTS Results in January/February and Survivor March-May, ouch). Probably at 8 moving Joey to Tuesdays(Between Joey and W&G Joey is doing worse). The Apprentice: Trump isn't going anywhere this season(that includes after the Olympics in February).
