I figured that anything that ABC put on Tu@10 was bound to do better. Could not have been more wrong.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-80073309905089239832014-02-08T07:19:24.584-05:002014-02-08T07:19:24.584-05:00I agree with you.

Besides, Body of Proof was performing at 75% of ABC's drama average by season's end while Almost Human is performing at 100% of FOX's drama average now, thus making it a far more attractive option.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-88138035527717741082014-02-08T07:00:03.216-05:002014-02-08T07:00:03.216-05:00There's certainly a big chance of a comedy bon...There's certainly a big chance of a comedy bonfire when you consider the only thing the entire live-action comedy lineup has going for it is skew. (If you count Glee as a comedy, and FOX does IIRC, this applies to that too.)<br /><br />AH has the advantage of being able to be plugged in as spackle because it's a procedural. If any of those serials pulls a Lone Star, that's going to get messy without procedural backup (look at ABC Tuesday 10 - BoP would've beaten every original that's aired there all season, at lower cost, but they cancelled it and were left with a rag-bag of reruns for months).Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-9731977318360661172014-02-08T03:54:09.848-05:002014-02-08T03:54:09.848-05:00Indeed.

Which is possible, I guess, and would certainly explain why they'd be acting like they're not renewing it. Sadly, we don't have those numbers!Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-51840769807419023052014-02-07T23:05:40.858-05:002014-02-07T23:05:40.858-05:00I didn't find this remotely surprising given t...I didn't find this remotely surprising given that the promos just underwhelmed me.

Although with the number of limited series they've ordered, they could literally cancel every live-action comedy except New Girl, order one newbie to pair with it, and not even try and make a comedy block happen again. Especially when they have Utopia to fit in.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-90091201581269601722014-02-07T20:22:51.602-05:002014-02-07T20:22:51.602-05:00So Dads finally wins Brooklyn 9-9, for the first t...So Dads finally wins Brooklyn 9-9, for the first time in15 episodes, by a huge 0.09 BTW - and now Dads are suddenly alive? <br />You really didn't like math in school, didn't you?<br /><br />Dads are deader than disco, kiddo, don't fool yourself.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-42064739189827562082014-02-07T19:42:36.378-05:002014-02-07T19:42:36.378-05:00That show is defying all odds.

The problem is that I am not seeing how the show holds up well enough against the Olympics for FOX to feel compelled to go out of its way. I think its chances just improved drastically but it's such a tough call to make!Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-294204212946060162014-02-07T19:35:22.677-05:002014-02-07T19:35:22.677-05:00That window of opportunity for Almost Human is a b...That window of opportunity for Almost Human is a bit wider now.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-11130279770811804712014-02-07T19:18:50.042-05:002014-02-07T19:18:50.042-05:00By the way, The X-Factor has just been cancelled! ...By the way, The X-Factor has just been cancelled!

Perhaps the CW were ahead of the game abandoning Sunday before Friday...<br /><br />CBS seem to think Sunday is the new Friday, as they use both nights identically: as a syndication factory outlet store from 9 with a second-tier reality show at 8. Of course, the way CBS handles the many sports overruns is a big part of that - I'd love to see them abandon 60 Minutes, and with the damage that brand took in 2013 and the potential to open up Sundays without it, there's genuine justification to cancel it. Tough to end an institution like that though, and I've little doubt that CBS won't.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-84348749986242394562014-02-07T12:20:42.275-05:002014-02-07T12:20:42.275-05:00Yeah.

I just think that Bones is doing way too well on a Friday to move it again and I think it's very unlikely KH can do anything closer to it.<br /><br />On another note, I do think the notion of Friday being for lower priority stuff et all. will tend to disappear. It's gaining more and more ground IMO. We're still not there but I think that in three years or so Sunday will effectively be the new Friday and Friday will be a normal weekday. We will probably still regard it as a bit weaker but the individualism that Fridays have nowadays will probably fade.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-58258055227424792852014-02-07T12:12:10.556-05:002014-02-07T12:12:10.556-05:00Hey Spot, with the Olympics taking over for the ne...Hey Spot, with the Olympics taking over for the next two weeks can we look forward to a Power Rankings update?Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
