Fridays have become a wasteland of TV programming, the 2nd-least viewed night of the week.

I do think its a cultural thing. I mean Friday nights were THE nights. TGIF, Dallas etc. I dont by the whole Friday night High school football thing. I dont think high school football is THAT big. I wouldnt think it would affect ratings of a tv show. I mean in certain areas, high school football is huge but in others its not.

You know what I would do on Friday nights? I would just run some first run shows and some repeats on there. So what if it doesnt draw 20 million viewers? Either try hard as hell to get the ratings back to where they were in the 80s or just accept the fact that you'll get 5 million viewers on a Friday night.
