Not exactly the most exciting two days of TV

Is Celebrity Apprentice the highest rated thing on NBC?

Harry's Law is so going to a Friday Night slot before being thrown in the trash.

Harry's Law is so going to a Friday Night slot before being thrown in the trash.

I am working on lineups of what I would do, but with shows still being picked up its a work in progress. However I have Harry's Law at 10pm Fridays.

 

[Captain Craig]

Mad Love just keeps going down, I'd guess that's toast.
Bob's Burgers is the lowest for the Sunday lineup but it doesn't stick out as extremly bad in comparison. Will it stay or go, what do you think?

 

[bigdaddy]

Bob's Burgers is dead.

There was talk of either American Dad of Fox not ordering anymore and having the several left next season get burned off (like Futurama) and have Bob's Burgers take it's place. However BB really fell down quickly so I think American Dad will get more episodes as Fox tries to find some new cartoons.

 

[Jax]

American Dad has been picked up with enough new episodes and some off this cycle that won't air before the season ends. It will have two seasons worth of content but expect that to be it. Bob's Burger has been a total failure and seems to lack the cheeky tongue that makes FOX animated shows so good to watch or at least did make them good to watch.

FOX looks very good Mon-Friday for the near future but Sundays is going to be a problem with The Simpsons and Family Guy getting older, Cleveland's clear sign that its not got strong legs and American Dad is in the last stretch.

 

[Jetfire]

FOX Should look into not doing just animation on Sun nights. Could you imagine if Fringe was on Sunday? Looking at Simpsons, Family Guy & Fringe?

[edit] and they can fill 7/7:30 will American Dad & Cleveland...when need be.

 

[Mr Light]

So speaking of American Dad, here's some asinine programming...

Y'know how American Dad has sporadically had new episodes at 7:30pm when no one knew it was on and no one was watching?

Well this Sunday... Simpsons, Bob, and Family Guy are all reruns! So where do they air their brand new episode of American Dad?

7:30pm!

Meanwhile, last Sunday, they aired AmDad in the 9:30pm time slot. So it's not like they're adverse to moving it around.

 

[Starbreaker]

There are way too many good sounding pilots in the pipeline for ANY network to be trying to renew anything underperforming.

and they can fill 7/7:30 will American Dad & Cleveland...when need be.

FOX's target demo doesn't watch TV between 7-8 so that slot might as well be repeated or for overrun on earlier programming like NFL.

Tell that to Fringe

We call that being Futurama.
