Who Else would like to see Fox go from 15 hrs to 22 hrs...?

I usually think of the big networks to be ABC, CBS, & NBC because they have a full 3 hrs of Primetime a night, I usually think of Fox as a sub par network even tho it has really good shows, This March will be 20 years for Fox and I really think it is time for them to expand to a full Primetime schedule...who agrees?

-----------------------------------------

I made this schedule of how Fox could schedule 22 hrs of Progamming come mid season if nothing gets cancelled...

Sunday
7:00 - King Of The Hill
7:30 - Happy Hour
8:00 - The Simpsons
8:30 - American Dad
9:00 - Family Guy
9:30 - The Winner
10:00 - Bones

Monday
8:00 - Prison Break
9:00 - 24
10:00 - Vanished

Tuesday
8:00 - American Idol
9:00 - House
10:00 - Standoff

Wednesday
8:00 - 'Til Death
8:30 - The War At Home
9:00 - AI: Results Show
9:30 - The Loop
10:00 - Justice

Thursday
8:00 - Trading Spouses/ Nanny 911
9:00 - Movie

Friday
8:00 - The Wedding Album
9:00 - The O.C.
10:00 - One of the possible Mid-season Drama's

Saturday
8:00 - Cops
8:30 - Cops
9:00 - America's Most Wanted
10:00 - One of the possible Mid-season Drama's

It would be nice but I doubt they ever will because the local affiliates like to have their local news on at 10. FOX actually has finished in the top 3 twice so they aren't really subpar.

James · 09-09-2006, 11:01 PM

Count me among those who would NOT want Fox to go to 22 hours. In fact, count me among those who wants Fox to go to 0 (yes, ZERO!!!) hours! I do not care at all for their programming, especially American Dad, Family Guy, and The Simpsons. They should concentrate on their "fair and balanced" news and dump their entertainment division.

I'm still outraged that they had the audacity to bring back Family Guy.

Why this show is still on and not Joan of Arcadia or Three Wishes is beyond me.

In a previous thread about this network two ways I had to improve it involved letting the Parents Television Council or PAX (now "i") run it.

Well I know it's not subpar as It has great shows like 24, House, The Simpsons & Family Guy (Im sorry I can't even call AI good) but I always think of it as lesser value because of the smaller schedule time, I feel the same way about CW howver they are subpar and I couldn't imagine them with 22 hrs of programming...

I agree with you about AI. If they expanded they would probably give us more hours of that. lol

Pavan · 09-09-2006, 11:19 PM

I would like them to do it only because then they would have 3 hours a night and then they wouldn't be winning A18-49 I bet. But then again I don't want them doing it because I'm sure there would be a few special 3-hour American Idol episodes.

Assuming "AI" means American Idol I find that to be a bright spot for the Fox network.

SBTB Geek · 09-10-2006, 01:15 AM

They should, and they should fill those 10:00 o'clock hours with slightly edited versions of "Rescue Me," "The Shield," "Nip/Tuck," and "It's Always Sunny..."

I want those shows on HD!

comedyfreak · 09-10-2006, 05:20 AM

I wouldn't want FOX to expand, there's too much on to see right now that I can't keep up with anymore.

Ant-Lox · 09-10-2006, 10:25 AM

I don't think they should do it.....because I wouldn't want my FOX29 news at 10 to be taken away...

Central Perk · 09-10-2006, 11:37 AM

I don't think they should. They have a formula that works and I'm afraid if they expand another hour we might get more crap instead of quality programming.

Or (get this for a loony concept), instead of inhibiting our enjoyment of our favorite shows, parents can be responsible, and take an active role in what their kids watch, instead of relying on censorship lobbyists like the Parents Television Council.

Crazy, huh?

JT · 09-10-2006, 04:03 PM

Of course, I'd like to see them try a daytime lineup. A talk show and maybe two half-hour soaps would be efficient.

woohooo

I don't want to see that happen. FOX is fine the way it is. It's worked for over 20 years now ... why fix something that isn't broken?

I also happen to enjoy the news at 10:00PM. I rarely watch anything at 10 except reruns so ... it works for me.

What I am surprised is that FOX hasn't tried to launch a 6:30 major newscast.
