They can't compete with cable.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-90071576041618028372013-11-22T04:19:47.931-05:002013-11-22T04:19:47.931-05:00Hm...

In general, I don't buy that timeslots really are deathslots unless there are clear reasons for that and a proven track record for that. You may have the second condition covered but I don't buy the first one. Also, the landscape there has changed so much (The X-Factor is a joke, who knows how weaker AI will be, Survivor and The Middle are just respectable players but hardly big hits, Revolution is hardly a force to be reckoned with) that even the track record may not apply that much. In theory, it should work so if the show has the goods and the marketing, a network should be able to pull it off. ABC is out of of the question since it's their comedy night but I would be up for any of the other three trying it out, but especially CBS because really, the slot has to be better than the 10pm slots they have leading out of the comedy blocks...Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-55797575562916282932013-11-21T18:29:35.789-05:002013-11-21T18:29:35.789-05:00I dunno, Wednesday at 8 is pretty much a death slo...I dunno, Wednesday at 8 is pretty much a death slot for dramas.<br /><br />Revolution<br />Human Target<br />Undercovers<br />Mercy<br />Jericho<br />Bones<br />Pushing Dasies<br />Alias<br />Ed<br />TitansSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-14132401697488859222013-11-21T08:21:19.168-05:002013-11-21T08:21:19.168-05:00I definitely think that Wednesdays are the most wi...I definitely think that Wednesdays are the most wide open day for an attack from any big 4 network right now (Thursdays are not that bad either, especially at 9). You have to deal with MF on Wednesdays and everyone else is somehow competent at 9pm, but at 8pm and 10pm it's open season for anyone who gives it a serious try. That's why I think CBS should have moved POI to 8pm this year and Survivor to Sundays and why I think next year they really should move Survivor to Sundays and use that slot to launch a new drama, it's better than any 10pm hour they have except maybe Wednesday itself. ABC just needs to get its act together with the .30 shows, it's ridiculous that they loose this night so frequently. FOX is a wildcard here next fall, 100%. As for NBC ,I think they should have The Blacklist anchoring this for them. There are just so many opportunities. Nobody is truly bad for the most part, but nobody is truly exception for the most part either.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-35381786023855714422013-11-13T04:24:48.298-05:002013-11-13T04:24:48.298-05:00Yeah, that really makes sense, thanks for taking t...Yeah, that really makes sense, thanks for taking the time to explain it. It's impressive how NBC is the most unbalanced network and, as a result, kind of dictates the direction of the A18-49 from the league average in each weekday. As for the TRUE Metric, I had realized before that you were very generous to Monday shows yeah, and never understood why, but I guess it does make some sense.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-90263142892167664502013-11-12T17:30:02.239-05:002013-11-12T17:30:02.239-05:00Yes, if you look at the networks post, ABC, CBS an...Yes, if you look at the networks post, ABC, CBS and Fox all do fine but only a bit above league average. There are no real standout lineups and NBC is weak enough to cancel them out. But the Wednesday number should go up from here unless Idol posts X Factor-esque numbers. (Notice it went up from 106 at this time last year to 114 final.)<br />It's interesting to me that the ABC/CBS/Fox ratings are roughly the same on Monday and Wednesday and the difference is almost entirely with NBC, which airs the strongest three-hour entertainment lineup on TV on Monday and one of the weakest on Wed. I have felt True was being a bit too generous to Monday shows, but perhaps deservedly so given there are really no weak networks, plus one VERY strong one, plus football.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-25434194699847407502013-11-12T15:24:42.591-05:002013-11-12T15:24:42.591-05:00Actually I think Wednesdays are 35% NBC uselessnes...Actually I think Wednesdays are 35% NBC uselessness, 30% X-Factor cratering, 15% CBS shows aging, 15% ABC shows either aging or failing to launch and 5% TTP softness compared to SPN last year. A lot of blame to go around.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-80345537580918357792013-11-12T10:25:19.956-05:002013-11-12T10:25:19.956-05:00Wow at Wednesdays.

ABC and CBS have good nights on Wednesdays and even FOX probably does worse on Tuesdays and Thursdays most of the times I imagine. I am very surprised. Probably it's the fact that even though there are a lot of very solid performers, the only real hit there is MF which only lasts for half an hour.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-31437427729303003372013-11-12T10:14:51.095-05:002013-11-12T10:14:51.095-05:00Wow at Sundays.
