Hallmark movies do skew really old, but CBS schedules them as a regular event. CBS must be making some sort of a profit margin to keep scheduling them.

Not a good sign for ITM or SW. Although, judging by the last ratings, I can't say I'm surprised that they got pulled. Those numbers were not the kind ABC wants for Sweeps.
A better 7 PM is a start. For example, MNIE might be a good 7 PM pick if it moves over to FOX.
However, animation domination as a whole is way down. Shows like Simpsons and American Dad aren't pulling in the ratings they used to. FOX needs to place something on Sundays that is going to give the night a surge in the ratings. Sit Down, Shut Up wasn't that show as it came in pretty much DOA.

Fox simply doesn't do any advertising and the idiotic scheduling of Sunday nights (why is American Dad airing twice!?) hurts the entire evening.
The ratings for the 2009 Miss USA Pageant is really low. Now we know why NBC placed it at 7 PM. If ratings continue to decline, it won't be long until Miss USA will be sent to one of NBC's cable outlets for broadcast.

2009 Miss USA Pageant (NBC) 7:00 p.m. – Viewers: 3.73 million (##), A18-49: 1.0/ 3 (#4) 7:30 p.m. – Viewers: 4.11 million (#3), A18-49: 1.1/ 4 (#4) 8:00 p.m. – Viewers: 5.38 million (#4), A18-49: 1.5/ 4 (#4) 8:30 p.m. – Viewers: 6.71 million (#3), A18-49: 1.9/ 5 (#4)
OK, so instead of the initial plan for UB : original/original/original episodes, now they're doing original/repeat/original/original. Makes a lot of sense i guess
Where did you see that? From what I recall, Betty has an extra ep originally not scheduled to air that now can.

I think both In The Motherhood and Samantha Who are gone. Their Thursday performance has sealed their fate.
Motherhood for sure. SW could squeak out another half season which would probably consist of filling a hole in their schedule with those 7 now 8 unaired eps from this season that ABC hasn't scheduled yet. Should SW get canned, they will likely air this summer. Frankly, as fun as the show could be sometimes, it was pretty inconsistent and never was able to stand on its own. Granted, ABC loved to put it on hiatus for months at a time and never found a decent show to pair it (I'm talking comedy) with but that ship has sailed. Don't be surprised to see more female single cam stuff from ABC. Their multicam comedies don't sound all that impressive to me.
Originally posted by Marc Berman: In series-premiere news, Fox’s animated Sit Down, Shut Up was far from spectacular, with 5.21 million viewers (#4) and a 2.3/ 6 among adults 18-49 at 8:30 p.m. But retention out of lead-in The Simpsons (Viewers: #3, 6.50 million; A18-49: #1, 3.0/ 9 at 8 p.m.) was respectable at 80 percent in total viewers and 77 percent among adults 18-49.
Retention was worse than King of the Hill's average and it was an absolutely horrid show. Fox should cut its losses and ship that up to 7pm, air a Simpsons or Family Guy repeat at 7:30 and give King of the Hill a real ending at 8:30.
Amen. Talented people + bad writers still = a bad show. Plus, King of the Hill should get a little respect for being around as long as it has.

UB has 4 more episodes, it eas supposed to return on the 7th while ending on the 21st with a 2 hour finale
Now it seems they'll air the originals on the 30th, 14th, and the 2 hour finale on 21st

I don't know ABC has about 5 or 6 SW's ready for burn off, and they have not even scheduled them. That is a very bad sign for the show. The only way SW can survive is if they put it behind DWTS again, and I am not so sure ABC wants to do that. I love Christina Applegate, but she needs a new show. She is terrific, the show stinks.

According to this, episode 20 never was scheduled. Now I'm guessing that ep could air. Or perhaps there's a numbering issue. I highly doubt a repeat of Ugly Betty will air.

Well that was kind of my point. ABC would likely only bring it back because they have some eps to air instead of launching yet another new comedy.
