FOX Cuts Tuesday Episodes of 'Joe Millionaire'
By Brian Ford Sullivan

CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- FOX has decided to make "Joe Millionaire" a once-a-week affair, as the network announced yesterday it will drop its extra Tuesday airings.

FOX had originally planned to run episodes of the reality series Mondays and Tuesdays at 8:00/7:00c up until its two-hour finale on Monday, November 24. The network will now stick with only its Monday airings, likely bumping the show's finale until December. In its place on Tuesday nights FOX plans to run of mix of drama encores and sitcom repeats, starting with another encore of "24" next week. The previously announced reality series "The Simple Life" will then take over the slot on December 2.

The moves are undoubtedly a result of a less than stellar showing for "Joe's" second season. Both its Monday and Tuesday airings this week finished dead last among the four major networks in adults 18-49 according to fast national data, a far cry from its ratings dominance last season.

The show's premise is ruined, I think after seeing it once everyone is saying what's the point of having it on again?
