Hey, you'd be surprised how many people claim they went to high school with her. |

Maybe- since CBS said they're not doing a Kid Nation 2 most likely, the 8-9pm Wednesday hour would be open. I actually think BBT could open a Wednesday hour.... The fact that HIMYM is supposed to be doing like 8 episodes post-strike seems to be a good sign of a possible renewal... quote: Originally posted by yankeesrj12:
I think there should be another hour on Wednesday's, where I believe a comedy block used to be. If CBS were to have another comedy block, I would hope that the Wednesday line-up would be Rules of Engagement and another comedy. (Maybe HIMYM or a new comedy) (Not 2.5 Men, BBT, or Christine)
By the way, Welcome back TV-aholic

Trying to get caughtup on the information from last week and think the following from FOX is a bad decision.
BACK TO YOU - Not expected to resume production this season; still has 3 episodes yet to air
BONES - May resume production; decision forthcoming; still has 4 episodes yet to air
Why they would not ive either of these two shows additional episodes for the season is a mystery. B2Y could use the added exposure to gain a fan base and BONES was clearly gaining momentum before the strike and additional episodes would be an added boost.
FOX did not order additional episodes for any of its shows for this season. This includes House. They already had a schedule in place that they decided to keep even after the strike ended.
A good move regarding House. This will give Mr. Hugh Laurie more time to spend with his family in the U.K., and gives him his first extended rest from the show since the series debuted. Neither Bones nor Back to You are hit series, so I am not surprised FOX has not ordered up additional episodes until next season. |

Survivor was renewed for a 17th and 18th season. Who cares if numbers are getting smaller? 13 million viewers is still a good number for any show. Now if it gets below 10, then they might cancel it, but until then.
CBS will keep Survivor as long as its one of its strongest shows, but based on the trends, I see it ending after season 20. TAR might end around the same time, as well.
I don't think CBS is going to cancel Survivor as long as it continues to win its timeslot in viewers and demo. How many shows does CBS have that can consistently get a 4+ demo? For that matter, how many 8:00 shows on any network get a 4+ demo? I agree that somewhere around 20 will be the end of the two editions a year. However, I could see Survivor lasting a while longer in a similar fashion to the way TAR was used this season by CBS - they tape on edition over the summer and use it to fill in once holes start opening in the schedule. Survivor's future might depend most on how long MB wants to keep going? |

Remakes don't work. KR will prove it once again |

Remakes don't work? The Office, for example is a remake of a British series. It's working well for NBC on Thursdays, don't you think? It's up agaisnt CSI and Grey's, and still pulls in around 5 in the demo.
Once again, I'll say, CSI: Miami, and CSI: New York, are remakes for the original CSI:. They are the same show, just with different actors, in different cities. These weren't original ideas, they just copied what was good.
All I was saying is that you shouldn't hate something just because it is a remake, because they can work. And maybe it will fail as a series, but it grew in every half hour, so it has promise. Plus, even though your opinion of it was bad, doesn't mean everyone agrees with it. The numbers don't lie.

The Office is the reamke of a british show that obviously almost nobody in US watched. I'm talking about remakes of US shows. And CSI Miami and CSI NY are not remakes are spin-offs which is different. Many of the procedural shows without being spinoffs are similar but they are not remakes, it's a different concept. If they would decide to do a Murder She Wrote remake that would bomb too GA for example is very similar to other medical shows but it's very succesful, but it's just similar not a remake. If in 2015 NBC will say: look we'll remake ER it will be a bomb even if the show will be good |

Why would someone want to admit to being that old? Count me in the poll as someone that knew she was alive, but didn't know she was on Medium because I haven't been watching that show recently. |

BBT fans keep hyping the growth/strength during repeats for their show, but don't seem to notice that HIMYM has basically been doing the same. If one of these sitcoms is going to get cancelled, it will be The New Adventures of Old Christine. Last night's episode didn't help its cause at all. As for a new comedy block, I think that Wednesday or Sunday at 8pm could work with TAR able to fill the other time slot adequately. |

Remakes don't work. KR will prove it once again
Battlestar Galactica says hi. So does Star Trek: TNG (which is closer to the mold that KR fits into, as a remake/continuation). Not that either of those series had to prove themselves, ratings-wise, on network TV, or that KR is anything close to them in terms of quality, but I think that KR has a wide-enough appeal that it will work. The HUGE international success of the original KR proves that the show's core concept has a certain kind of universal appeal. I thought the TV movie had potential. No, it wasn't genius storytelling, but it was fun, light entertainment with cool action and KITT doing awesome things--just like the original show. I look forward to bumping this thread next year when it gets renewed for a second season  |

Clearly if Desperate Housewives moved time periods, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition would keep the night alive. Only 4ish million less than Desperate Housewives isn't bad at all.
I agree Justin. In fact, last week I proposed a new schedule for ABC's Sunday for next season that maximizes its ratings based on this analysis -- see below: quote: Originally posted by Chimera:
Here's my approach to B&S' problem, and to a smaller degree, DH:
Next Fall, ABC should go with several 2-hr EM:HE episodes from 8pm - 10pm through the November sweeps, combined with Oprah's Big Give. Then premiere a new show @ 1opm for a 13 week tryout (new Goldie Hawn project Leap perhaps?).
That should tide them over till January with no worse results than what we saw last night (ans potentially much better). Then in January, they can go with 5 months straight of Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters @ 9pm and 10pm, with AFV and EM:HE at 7pm and 8pm as usual. The typical 24 episode order for DH and B&S would allow them to run pretty much uninterrupted from Jan - May, only taking a break on Oscar Sunday. This would solve a lot of problems for both of those shows, and allow them to build momentum throughout the season. Whatever small deficit they'll have with EM:HE pulling in around 16 million versus 18-20 million for DH in that 9pm timeslot, they'll make up in all those weeks of reruns they have today, and low-rated originals like last night when a show comes back from repeats. Frankly, I think this is a much better strategy than moving B&S altogether, because it has clearly shown to be dependent on DH (if a very solid EM:HE lead-in could not help it, I'm not sure if anything else could), but when it is coupled with DH, it performs very well. Best of both worlds: Leap gets a 13 week Fall tryout, mix of 2hr EM:HE and regular EM:HE/Oprah's Big Give holds the time period warm in the Fall, then BAM!, DH and B&S come back in January giving ABC strength just when it typically starts to faulter and AI-fueled FOX begins to pull away. This strategy, coupled with a Feb-May run of LOST and Spring DWTS edition would keep ABC very competitive next season.
