EXCLUSIVE: "'TIL DEATH" TO GET SUNDAY SLOT IN JANUARY - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- FOX isn't giving up on "'Til Death" just yet.

Network sources have confirmed the series will head to Sundays beginning January 10 with back-to-back episodes starting at 7:00/6:00c.

The perennially low-rated comedy will assume said slot from "Brothers," which wraps its 13-episode run on December 27.

In addition, "'Til Death" will air a special four-episode mini-marathon on Friday, December 25, replacing repeats of "Dollhouse" on the night.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: FOX's initial advisory about the aforementioned stunt indicated the invalid date of Thursday, December 25. With back-to-back encores of "Dollhouse" previously slated for Friday, December 25, the assumption was "Death" would air that Thursday, December 24. We've subsequently confirmed that "Dollhouse" will no longer air on December 25 with the "Death" originals airing in its place. Programming for Thursday, December 24 is yet to be announced.]

"Dollhouse," following its double runs on December 4, 11 and 18, will return to its regular time period on Friday, January 8 at 9:00/8:00c.

To recap:

Sunday, November 8
7:00/6:00c - "Brothers" (New Time Slot)

Obviously FOX is doing all it can to save this show but a new time slot will probably be the kiss of death for Til Death. Did FOX give Back to You another timeslot or was it just canned without any effort to save it? It's been so long now that I honestly don't remember.

FOX is just burning it off. Oh well.

kellygoo72 · 11-09-2009, 05:00 AM

I like this show... i think it has been toyed with alot but, theres so much junk on the telly these days, this show entertains... It lets u turn off the BRAIN and just giggle. Call me crazy but, thats enough for me.
I am looking forward to new eppys.

Why would they air 4 new episodes on Christmas night? I mean, I understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but a majority do - even if you don't a lot of people go over a friends house for a party, etc.

I just think it's a dumb way to kick off the new episodes! I know I won't be able to watch!

It's just a burnoff. Since the ratings suck, FOX is sticking it anywhere to get rid of it.

kravitzfan12 · 11-17-2009, 10:24 PM

I understand that FOX is just trying to get rid of the remaining episodes, but one would think that they'd want to get the best possible ratings from the episodes regardless of the fact that they're trying to get rid of them.

Unless my dvr is teasing me, I think a few episodes are schedule for this weekend.

They start 1/31, so it's not a joke.
