Specials & Marathons




-Malcolm in the Middle Launch Marathon
Sunday, July 5, 2009
8:00pm-1:00am ET/PT, encores 1am-6am ET/PT
Malcolm in the Middle joins the Nick at Nite line-up with an all-night marathon on Sunday, July 5! Then the series will air Sun-Thurs in the 8pm hour and 12am hour. On Fridays and Saturdays it will air in the 11pm hour, with an airing on Saturday nights in the 2am hour.
Created and executive produced by Emmy Award-winning writer Linwood Boomer (Writer, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Night Court, Silver Spoons; Actor, Little House on the Prairie), this inventive half-hour series is seen through the eyes of Malcolm (Muniz), a regular kid trying to navigate his way through life despite the various obstacles thrown in his way -- a complete misunderstanding of girls, an eclectic group of classmates and the constant burden of masterminding plans to get himself and his brothers either into or out of trouble.
Although Malcolm has a genius IQ, he cannot seem to make any sense of the opposite sex, much less his embarrassing family. Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) is the outspoken, opinionated Mom, and her creative punishments and tough-as-nails approach always prevent the boys from slipping one past her. Hal (Bryan Cranston), a dad who is a certified legend in his own mind, is perfectly content to let Lois "wear the pants," but often finds himself creating more chaos than his four boys combined. Reese (Justin Berfield) has mastered the art of a perfect blank stare, but has made up for his lack of intelligence with deviance. Francis (Christopher Kennedy Masterson), Malcolm's oldest and favorite brother, has grown accustomed to life away from the family, whether it's at a military academy or a dude ranch. And then there's Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan), who just doesn't know any better than to look up to his brothers. Hopefully, he'll catch on before it's too late.

- The N's The Assistants Pilot Encore
Sunday, July 12, 2009
9:00pm-9:30pm ET/PT
The Assistants follows the aspiration, optimism and ambition of four 20-something assistants at Kinky Bunny Pictures striving to make it in the chaotic, sometimes cruel, but always-zany world of Hollywood. With the hijinks of workplace comedies like Scrubs, a Devil Wears Prada boss-from-you-know-where, and the fun and camaraderie of Entourage, The Assistants touches on everything from first jobs, friendships and rivalries, to the glitz and not–so-glamorous side of Hollywood. These assistants will ask themselves the question we all ultimately ask ourselves: “How much nightmare-ish crap am I willing to put up with in order to follow my dreams?”
Watch this series every Friday at 8:30pm on The N!

WOW... George Lopez moved and Family Matters replaced it. That's the biggest surprise to me. The Nanny stayed in place on weeknights which is good to me.

Home Improvement is now only at 5am! This show will be totally gone by fall IMO.

[Pavan]

George Lopez moved so it can anchor their primetime again, since we have an extra hour added. It is their number one show ever.

Makes perfect sense and it's likely a good move.

I like this schedule pretty well. Didn't really like FM at Midnight.

Wondering what's up with the 2 TBD hours on Sunday.

[ryan423]

Sucks they are moving G.LO. I always tuned in at 10 after primetime. I guess I would've been watching the Jay Leno show this fall anyway.

[JulieSomoski]

Still doesn't seem like the smartest move to me. Family Matters probably would have done well at 9pm, but 9pm will still be lower rated like it always has been. George Lopez might see some rating fall off airing in the earlier hour, but I'm sure it will still remain strong.

I'm glad to see The Nanny stay at 11pm. I've been watching it every night in the slot, and I'd hate to have to change my routine so soon Family Matters at 10pm is also better for me, especially in the summer. Come fall, I'll probably be watching Jay Leno, though.

I don't see the midnight Malcolm airings doing well. I bet we'll see that and Home Improvement swap slots eventually. Overall, not a bad schedule at all.

[clj2]

Am I the only one that's sort of as to why Home Improvement isn't already on TV Land? It's barely doing anything for NAN, so I don't get the hold-up. They certainly weren't shy about MWC and Roseanne, so I don't understand.

Not really a bad schedule. NAN has been long due the 8-9PM hour.

Yeah, with NAN now slowly phasing it out, TV Land should be slowly phasing it in. With only Roseanne and Cosby airing in primetime, you'd think TV Land would want another show like HI.

[Heckles101]

Are the midnight episodes of MitM an encore of the 8pm episodes?

More than likely, that's their usual practice.

Well Julie, knowing TV Land they could be airing HI next week, lol. You never know with them, it was supposed to be coming back in January.

Very true. We may just see it appear on TV Land's next 2-week schedule

I don't get why HI isn't on TV Land either. It's such a waste to just be on at 5am(just like Roseanne was in it's final months). I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen at the last-minute knowing TV Land(Roseanne was supposed to be weekends only when The Nanny started but it ended up premiering on TV Land that same week and never happened).

No, its ratings have not fallen. Again you're assuming just because it is moving. It's not like it moved to 12am. Think about it Julie, Nick at Nite has GAINED an hour in primetime, so now 9pm is their prime spot on the schedule. Before it was 10pm when the network started at 9pm. So is it really an hour earlier when it is STILL airing in the 2nd hour on Nick at Nite?

No, I said G.Lo's ratings will see some fall off with the move to 9pm. Even though its now the anchoring hour for NAN, it still is the earlier 9pm hour, which has always been lower rated on NAN from past ratings information. Still, as I said, it will remain strong like it always has been.

It is an hour earlier, only because 9pm has never been rated as high as 10pm for the network. You still have to think of this based on ratings, not based on the 8pm hour being added.

[Pavan]

You're basing it when N@N started at 9pm. Now they are starting at 8pm. That is a big difference. Plus Malcolm in the Middle is the perfect 8pm hour show as it will skew well with the Nickelodeon audience. and when there are George Lopez marathons, it does very well at 9pm.
