How do you think Malcolm in the Middle and Everybody Hates Chris will do on N@N? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Buffyboy323 · 06-28-2009, 07:13 PM

Malcolm in the Middle is coming to Nick at Nite this summer, and Everybody Hates Chris is coming to Nick at Nite this fall.

Will they fit in with the "new" Nick at Nite? Will they be big hits or will they bomb? Will one do better than the other? Will one (or both) be yanked from the schedule not long after it debuts? What do you think?

EHC is too new for N@N and will bomb and willing to bet my paycheck on that. It will not last to 2010

Both shows will find moderate success. EHC is way too new for NAN? What about George Lopez? It was added to the lineup 2 years ago, after getting cancelled the previous season, just like Chris, and its the highest rated show on NAN.

Does EHC have a laughtrack or Studo Audience?

Neither one. Same goes for Malcolm in the Middle.

It has neither.

What does that matter? Your argument was that Chris is too recent to be airing on NAN. So was George Lopez, and that became a hit for them. I don't think Chris will be quite as successful, but I think it'll do well for them.

EHC might end up one of those shows that does better in syndication, or... it'll be pulled and moved to 6am, lol! In the fall, EHC and Malcom will be their youngest skewing shows, and if both do well, I see them airing from 8-10pm, shifting George Lopez back to 10, The Nanny will remain at 11 and Family Matters will be back at 12. I don't see EHC or Malcom doing well in late night.

I think Malcolm will do ok. Not sure about Everybody Hates Chris.

That's exactly how I see things happening, to the point. George Lopez will not stay at 9pm. It's place holder, and so is Fresh Prince at 10pm. I think NAN wants to keep that 9pm slot warm for Chris, and when Chris premieres in September, the viewers will already be in the slot, ready to watch Chris.

I agree, though - it'll be one of those shows to do much better in syndication.

GL has a older feel maybe that's why I forgot-lol

My friend just told me Malcom in The Middle is similar to Married with Children, is that true?

Everybody Hates Chris takes place in the 1980's.

clj2 · 06-28-2009, 09:47 PM

I think Malcom in the Middle will do OK (it fits well with the Nick evening shows, better than HI or Full House did), but not great. Everybody Hates Chris, I really don't think so, but I'm sure they will try to make it work.

I just hope it's not a typical black ghetto show from UPN/CW
