Random TV Thoughts Regarding Midseason Scheduling, Fall ’13, & Broadcast Scheduling In General:

What If NASHVILLE Aired After THE BACHELOR Last Night Instead Of CASTLE?

Earlier this year I suggested ABC move Nashville to Sunday. Many others far smarter than me also suggested it and there were rumors that ABC was considering it. ABC smartly didn’t do that. First of all their Sunday dramas have all … Continue reading

ABC and Fred Goss Should Re-Develop SONS & DAUGHTERS (as a possible MODERN FAMILY companion):

Snap Judgement: NBC Midseason Schedule

A few things surprise me about NBCs Midseason Sked: 1) Taking Revolution off for 4 months: 10 eps will air thru the end of November. That leaves 12 left which means new eps will air thru June. I think it’s really risky to take off a … Continue reading
