sounds good. since i don't have life, i wish they would put some new shows on friday or saturday, but that would be network suicide.

FOX should seriously think about expanding their hours to 11pm. Is that even possible to do? They're a great network, they just don't have room to fit in all their shows, a main reason why their shows are usually move around so much. They need to air someting besides those animated comedies on Sunday nights. They should all move to Friday night, with maybe drama or reality on Sunday. Here's a sked I'd do for FOX in the fall:

Sunday:
Same as it is now

Monday:
Same as Pavan put it
8pm

Tuesday:
Same as Pavan put it

Wednesday:
8pm Bones
9:00 Back to You
9:30 Til Death

Thursday:
8pm Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
9pm Don't Forget the Lyrics!

Friday:
8pm The Moment of Truth
9pm Kitchen Nightmares

They shouldn't mess with Thursdays. Both shows are very stable and work well together. Fridays should be the other reality shows, which would probably work very well on Fridays, with little competition. Midseason is hard to say. For Wednesdays, I'd leave the sitcoms at 8pm, with AI at 9pm (30 minutes only) and a new sitcom at 9:30. Not sure about the rest.

New Amsterdam was my favorite show.

People are just so into their damn realities that they keep bringing those back and drop the shows that are smartly written and creatively put together.

Pavan, any chance abc or a cable network will pick it up?

mgsports · 05-08-2008, 06:48 PM

Sitcoms on Wednesday's and Friday's.
Cartoon Sitcoms on Sunday's.
Monday's and Tuesday's Drama's.
Thursday's and Saturday's Shows like Are you smarther then a 5 Grader and so on.

I see The Moment of Truth starting to bomb for Fox.

DSfan · 05-08-2008, 07:38 PM

I enjoy watching MOT to see how dumb and mean people are, it's kind of funny to see the people's reactions too.

It probably won't get good ratings over the summer but I'll watch when I have the chance, when will it come on during the summer?

Sonia · 05-08-2008, 07:45 PM

I agree Fox needs to expand to a third hour. That would resolve a lot of issues with its schedule. Shows need a consistent schedule otherwise why even bother. Having said that:

Sunday:
Same as it is now

Monday
8:00PM Fringe (NEW!)/Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
9:00PM House

Tuesday:
8:00PM Moment of Truth / American Idol
9:00PM Dollhouse (NEW!)/ 24

Wednesday:
8:00 New comedy/American Idol
8:30 Til Death/American Idol
9:00 Back to You
9:30 New Comedy/Til Death

Thursday:
8pm Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
9pm Don't Forget the Lyrics!/9pm Kitchen Nightmares

Friday:
8pm Bones
9pm Prison Break

Saturday
As it is

JulieSomoski · 05-09-2008, 04:30 PM

Aaron, isn't that the exact same schedule Pavan had?

Brent88 · 05-10-2008, 12:02 AM

Fox's 2007-2008 primetime season sitcom Back To You starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as formerly married TV co-anchors has been cancelled. I've just been told that the network's comedy pilot The Inn (20th Century Fox TV/ Reveille/Principato-Young Entertainment) is officially picked up to series now.

I hope this isn't true but wouldn't be surprised. What surprises me is Til Death was renewed and this was cancelled although Til Death gets lower ratings and BTY pulls in better ratings than thursday nights on NBC!!!

Pavan · 05-10-2008, 01:48 AM

'Til Death - renewed.
Back to You - canceled.
