JustTV Talk: April 27, 2005
Dear Fox,
Fuck you and your fucked up scheduling. Because of that, my job is all the tougher.
Thanks for hearing me out,
JustTV.
What's Renewed:
That 70s Show
The Simpsons
American Idol
House
The Simple Life
Malcolm In The Middle
The OC
What's Likely To Be:
24
Trading Spouses
Nanny 911
On The Bubble:
King of The Hill
The Bernie Mack Show
The Swan
Arrested Development
Stacked
Life On A Stick
Monday:
Who knows? Before January rolls around, Fox will completely bomb on the night with two unknown reality series. I would actually assume that "Nanny 911" will be back at 8pm in the fall just for continuities sake.
Tuesday:
"House" at 9pm for sure (this season's other big drama hit), but 8pm will probably be regulated to "Trading Spouses" until Jauary.
Wednesday:
Just because Fox wants you to know that it really is trying, the network will once again fail at airing new series on the night before January rolls around. That said, I'm guessing that either "Stacked" or "Life on a Stick" will be back to hold up the fort. A new drama could be the order for 9pm.
Thursday:
"The OC" at 8pm (where it will lose even more viewers), and at 9pm? Some Fox crap for sure.
Friday:
Give it up, Fox. Air movies. Look at your name. Fox. You know, there's a movie studio with that very same name. Give them a call.
Saturday:
Fox's only line-up that is constant year-round.
Sunday:
Fox needs to do something drastic on the new to bring attention back to Sundays. That said, it won't. And I'm making the bold prediction that "Arrested Development" will be back, and airing at 9:30pm. Why? It's doesn't matter if it draws an audience there, and that's fine by me, so long as there are new episodes for me to watch.
