Here's the link folks. After reading the review, it seems that the prevailing belief that this is a major uphill battle is true. I'm guessing this one becomes the latest in the Fox 3 and out club. It sounds like it needs time and that's something Fox is rarely willing to give.

Yes but being asked to lead off Thursday and being asked to lead off a weak Tuesday timeslot are two very different things. You may recall that initially, Til Death's numbers were about the same as Standoff's. The difference was Standoff aired in a much easier timeslot at least historically for Fox. Til Death was airing against Survivor, a red hot Ugly Betty, Smallville, not to mention NBC's two best comedies.

FOX seems to have misplaced their hook lately. If they could find it, would 'On The Lot' still be airing?

On the Lot is on the air because of Steven Spielberg. Perhaps you have forgotten Drive?

There was never a chance of FOX pulling 'Til Death in 3 weeks. They had way too much invested in that show. But the hook didn't miss Happy Hour.

And that is absolutely the only reason.
