---------------------------------------------------

ROE got a boost from repeats on NBC, ABC and CW though am sure CBS is looking for a better partner assuming The Big Bang Theory is not moved to Mondays 9pm next season. ROE might get a 13 episode order since its owned to a degree by CBS Television but it could easily be axed.

Bones has seen a decent demo bump from being on Idol night but the show doesn't need the reality giant to survive and FOX could do better. I think expensive SCI FI drama "Terra Nova" will get the post X Factor/Idol slot next season and Bones will most likely partner its spinoff on Monday or Tuesday.

NBC needs to move the comedy lineup away from XIdol/X Factor night next season and I go with NCIS tuesday night since theres more chance to grab the 18-49 demo. Also NBC needs to move 30 Rock back to within the 8-9 hour and scrap this 3 hour sitcom marathon idea.

How the hell did Wipeout gain 0.2 in the demo with the virtually the same viewer total at 9pm

ROE is partly owned by CBS well that goes a good way towards explaining things. By that understanding if $#*! were owned by them it would theoratically be up for at least 13 episodes next year also. Cause they are doing about the same in that slot.

Whoa... NBC repeats don't do well.

Neither do their originals

Some news from FOX...

FOX has scrapped plans to air the start of Terra Nova in May and American Idol's finale will take place in the old slot of Tuesday & Wednesday night

Am not surprised about the move for Terra Nova, better to air it in one go from September. Fox has said the team behind the SCI FI Dino drama needs more time to work on visual effects.

 

[Mr Light]

Ugh. So it's officially an entire year's delay now for Terra Nova. How much of it have they filmed already? They must've shot the pilot in Spring 2010 since it was originally supposed to start in Fall 2010.

 

[bigdaddy]

BOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!

Don't mind that sound, it's just the show bombing even before it premiered. How hard is it to make. A CGI dino? And if it's that hardcmaybe they should just cancel the show now.

 

[Skywalker]

How is the show bombing before it premiers? If anything, it'll probably do better premiering in September than it might have in May.

 

[Mr Light]

It is a pretty bad idea to air the pilot five months before the series proper. I still hate the waiting though
