The upfront is not until 4. All of the other networks have issued press releases the morning of the upfront with their schedules, but FOX has not done so as of now.

What a joke. What do they expect to change from now until then? We know they'll like the script because they think the sun shines out of the man's ass. But there were barely 2 million viewers last night! How do you get past that? They pulled Runaway off the air after 3 episodes of ratings like VM's has been getting.

Is VM's retention out of GG better than OTH's retention out of ANTM?

Not good for OTH, but I'm still betting it outdoes Veronica in retention. OTH is a bit more inconsistent. Some weeks it does amazing. Other weeks it crashes. I would move it to Sunday in a make or break deal that would place it at 8 as the lead in for Life is Wild and save the reality shows for a replacement when Life is Wild flops in 2 weeks.
