10:00pm George Lopez #02: Curious George
Description: George worries about Carmen when she brings a boy, Duncan, home for the first time. He persuades Max to spy on them, but despite finding no impropriety, George threatens Duncan, embarrassing Carmen. Later, George replies to instant messages on Carmen's computer, pretending to be her. Although this infuriates both Carmen and Angie when they find out, George then goes to a party and further humiliates Carmen with his over protectiveness.

Remember when Fresh Prince dominated the schedule? Now it's only on twice a night and not on weekends, lol.

I'm not a fan of George Lopez or The Nanny. However, Family Matters, Home Improvement and Fresh Prince are good shows. I like the schedule for what it is. They don't seem to be going overboard with one particular show.

I remember a time when Nick at Nite aired more than five programs, but still, not bad for the shows they have.

Geez... again?! Obviously doing insanely well, this is the THIRD marathon in FOUR weeks. Not even George Lopez gets that.

I still can't get into the show but I'll give it another shot.

and ANOTHER marathon is scheduled next Sunday. This show is in danger of getting old fast.

They are also airing an all-night marathon next Sunday (6/14). Make that 4th marathon in 5 weeks. It probably won't be too long before we get a week-long event.

[JulieSomoski]

That's amazing. Never would I have thought The Nanny would be this huge for NAN, and I'm a big fan of the show. It's clearly a runaway hit for NAN. 4 marathons in 5 weeks?

And they're testing it out at 9:30 - I'm thinking we'll see Home Improvement gone from 9pm soon. I bet Everybody Hates Chris will take over the slot.

[nikrewind9]

If The Nanny was taking 9PM, they should give 8:30PM to Home Improvement.

[TVFactFan]

I prefer the Nanny over Home Improvement since it's not centered around one character like HI is with Tim Taylor

Coming in JULY to Nick at Nite:

Twentieth Television has sold all seven seasons of comedy Malcolm in the Middle to cable network Nick at Nite for a Sunday, July 5 premiere. The show will air on Nick in primetime Sun-Thurs at 8 p.m.

Yes, this means Nick at Nite is getting the 8pm hour back from Nickelodeon. More to come tomorrow on our blog! Stay tuned!


PRESS RELEASE:

Nick at Nite Moves Up One Hour to 8 PM, Giving Families an Added Hour of Great Prime-Time Programming With Addition of Malcolm in the Middle Beginning Sunday, July 5

Twentieth Television's Complete Seven-Season Library of Award-Winning Series Joins Top-Rated Lineup of George Lopez, The Nanny and Everybody Hates Chris



NEW YORK, June 8 -- Numerous research studies indicate that American families today are staying home more frequently and more than ever are looking for entertainment they can watch together. In response, beginning Sunday, July 5, Nickelodeon will permanently move the 9 p.m. start time of its Nick at Nite block to 8 pm (Sundays-Thursdays, ET/PT), providing contemporary families an additional hour of great programming. Marking the change, the award-winning series Malcolm in the Middle will join the Nick at Nite schedule on July 5 at 8 p.m. Nickelodeon has acquired the complete seven-season library (151 episodes) of the series from Twentieth Television.

"We have conducted a great deal of research with kids and families and two things that we hear continuously are that they want to spend more time together and that watching television is one of their favorite ways of making that happen," said Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon and MTVN Kids and Family Group. "By starting Nick at Nite at 8 p.m., and adding another terrific comedy series like Malcolm in the Middle, we will serve them further and build upon the great success we've had with contemporary family comedies."

Malcolm in the Middle, which centers on teen genius Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and his dysfunctional family, will join Nick at Nite's roster of hit family favorites such as George Lopez, Everybody Hates Chris (beginning in September), Home Improvement and The Nanny. Malcolm in the Middle originally ran from 2000 to 2006 on Fox and has garnered numerous accolades including five Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award and a Peabody Award.

In addition to these contemporary off-network comedies, Nick at Nite this summer will add the new stop-motion animated original series Glenn Martin, DDS, from Michael Eisner's Tornante Company. The series, starring Kevin Nealon, Catherine O'Hara and Judy Greer, follows a beleaguered dentist and his family who trade in the suburbs for a life on the road. Crisscrossing the country, the Martins are beset by an array of colorful locals and crazy situations, ranging from Las Vegas to Amish Country and beyond.

Year-to-date, Nick at Nite is the number-one ranked cable network in total day among both Adults 18-49 and Women 18-49 and is on track to be the number-one ranked cable network with Women 18-49 for the sixth consecutive year. In 2009, Nick at Nite is delivering year-over-year double-digit growth of 14% among Women 18-49. (Source: Nielsen Media Research 12/29/08-5/31/09 (Live+7 through 5/17/09, Live+Same day 5/18/09-5/31/09).

Additionally, Nick at Nite finished May as the number-one basic cable network among Women 18-49 and the number-two network among Adults 18-49, only behind TNT (source: NMR, 4/27/09-5/31/09).


About Malcolm in the Middle

Created and executive produced by Emmy Award-winning writer Linwood Boomer (Writer, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Night Court, Silver Spoons; Actor, Little House on the Prairie), this inventive half-hour series is seen through the eyes of Malcolm (Muniz), a regular kid trying to navigate his way through life despite the various obstacles thrown in his way -- a complete misunderstanding of girls, an eclectic group of classmates and the constant burden of masterminding plans to get himself and his brothers either into or out of trouble.

Although Malcolm has a genius IQ, he cannot seem to make any sense of the opposite sex, much less his embarrassing family. Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) is the outspoken, opinionated Mom, and her creative punishments and tough-as-nails approach always prevent the boys from slipping one past her. Hal (Bryan Cranston), a dad who is a certified legend in his own mind, is perfectly content to let Lois "wear the pants," but often finds himself creating more chaos than his four boys combined. Reese (Justin Berfield) has mastered the art of a perfect blank stare, but has made up for his lack of intelligence with deviance. Francis (Christopher Kennedy Masterson), Malcolm's oldest and favorite brother, has grown accustomed to life away from the family, whether it's at a military academy or a dude ranch. And then there's Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan), who just doesn't know any better than to look up to his brothers. Hopefully, he'll catch on before it's too late.

Malcolm in the Middle is a Regency Television production, and is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.

Interesting pickup(came out of nowhere?). and WOW, at N@N getting the 8pm hour. Think it's showing that N@N is outperforming Nick now.

[clj2]

WOW! I had a feeling that Malcom would come to NAN at some point. Getting the 8pm hour is shocking too. They clearly are doing VERY well. I bet it will work well as a transition show, leading in to HI. NAN sure is the opposite of TV Land!

Will it still be on FX?

[Pavan]

Malcolm is certainly designed to be paired with Chris, as both are single camera comedies. It's a great companion for Chris. I will talk about what this means for FX on the blog, that's the more to come

[JulieSomoski]

Yeah, Malcolm and Chris will go great together. Hopefully we'll see both stay in the 8pm hour, though.

They're clearly doing better than ever, though. To pick up a full series and expand an hour out of the blue doesn't just happen by accident
