The marginal revenue is certainly to be higher than the marginal cost, so what is disadvantage?<br /><br />Of course this only holds if ratings for special > ratings for repeats, so the Star Wars thing for instance wouldn't qualify. Stuff like NBC preempting Dateline for low rated specials also doesn't qualify. But in this case of the Marvel clip show I think it is smart that ABC does it.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-15220659181084896352014-11-06T04:03:33.675-05:002014-11-06T04:03:33.675-05:00I can probably agree with this, though the result ...I can probably agree with this, though the result would have probably been Hell's premiering last night instead.

Marry Me will have to pull double duty in its last two weeks because of that.<br /><br />18/11: The Voice + Marry Me 1x05 + About a Boy 2x05<br />25/11: The Voice + Marry Me 1x06 + About a Boy 2x06<br />02/12: The Voice + Marry Me 1x07 + About a Boy 2x07<br />09/12: The Voice + Marry Me 1x08 + About a Boy 2x08<br />16/12: Voice finale<br />23/12: Holidays break<br />30/12: Holidays break<br />06/01: Game Night 3x01 + Marry Me 1x09 + About a Boy 2x09<br />13/01: Game Night 3x02 + Marry Me 1x10 + About a Boy 2x10<br />20/01: Game Night 3x03 + Marry Me 1x11 + About a Boy 2x11<br />27/01: Game Night 3x04 + Marry Me 1x12 + About a Boy 2x12<br />03/02: Game Night 3x05 + Marry Me 1x13 + About a Boy 2x13<br />10/02: Game Night 3x06 + Marry Me 1x14 + About a Boy 2x14<br />17/02: Game Night 3x07 + Marry Me 1x15 + Marry Me 1x16<br />24/02: Game Night 3x08 + Marry Me 1x17 + Marry Me 1x18<br />03/03: The Voice + New Comedies<br /><br />This misses out on two Game Night episodes but they could easily be added to the summer season. You may ask me why they didn't simply do two hours of Game Night on 17/02 and 24/02 and I have no idea.<br />.<br /><br />Meanwhile, on Mondays, it can probably be:<br />17/11: The Voice + The Voice + State of Affairs 1x01<br />24/11: The Voice + The Voice + State of Affairs 1x02<br />01/12: The Voice + The Voice + State of Affairs 1x03<br />08/12: The Voice + The Voice + State of Affairs 1x04<br />15/12: The Voice + The Voice + State of Affairs 1x05<br />22/12: Holidays break<br />29/12: Holidays break<br />05/01: The Apprentice 7x01 + The Apprentice 7x02 + ?<br />12/01: The Apprentice 7x03 + The Apprentice 7x04 + ?<br />19/01: The Apprentice 7x05 + The Apprentice 7x06 + ?<br />26/01: The Apprentice 7x07 + The Apprentice 7x08 + ?<br />02/02: The Apprentice 7x09 + The Apprentice 7x10 + ?<br />09/02: The Apprentice 7x11 + The Apprentice 7x12 + ?<br />16/02: The Apprentice 7x13 + The Apprentice 7x14 + ?<br />23/02: The Apprentice 7x15 + The Apprentice 7x16 + ?<br />02/03: The Voice + State of Affairs 1x?<br /><br /><br />I cannot predict whether or not State of Affairs will be forced to air after the apprentice without knowing its season order, it's impossible. If it is 13 I highly doubt it. If it is 18 it is possible, though not necessary that they force it to air there.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-41945479590756971922014-11-06T00:45:55.324-05:002014-11-06T00:45:55.324-05:00Deadline reported About a Boy has a 22 episode ord...Deadline reported About a Boy has a 22 episode order.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-63256524019109214672014-11-05T23:04:19.593-05:002014-11-05T23:04:19.593-05:00Same with a tightrope walk stunt.

And maybe it doesn't show lack of confidence of midseason after all.<br /><br />This is good moment to overhaul Tuesday anyway, because next week Tuesday comedies are preempted, with The Voice helping triple crossover CF/SVU/CPD. Next week's schedule is:<br />Mon: 8-10 PM Voice live show / The Blacklist<br />Tue: 8-10 PM Voice live show / Chicago Fire<br />Wed: Voice results show / SVU / Chicago PD<br /><br />They planned to call Grimm to the party too, but he lost his powers, so who needs poor bastard.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-15469951667003466532014-11-05T20:05:26.231-05:002014-11-05T20:05:26.231-05:00Yes, that's probably it.

Not only for the excitement it would entail but also because the episode orders would just fit much better. This way they will be forced to mix in some repeats in there or preempt a Thursday altogether (which, if they have a decent reason to, is not bad, I admit).<br /><br />Other than that it looks as expected. I am way more curious about what will air before Carter and before Shield.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-73007147652956711082014-11-05T20:04:51.518-05:002014-11-05T20:04:51.518-05:00Jokes.

It connects with the apprentice season order and it definitely makes me feel that we are going to see the voice returning to the schedule only by then. It's just filler for the voice hiatus. Wonder what's the deal with about a boy though. In any case, I am pretty sure we will be seeing two new comedies (or, very outside shot, a new drama) Tuesdays at 8 in March when the voice premieres its spring cycle.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-8963536879986279522014-11-05T19:44:28.445-05:002014-11-05T19:44:28.445-05:00Seems to be what SSTW was supposed to be with its ...Seems to be what SSTW was supposed to be with its original pickup.
