I am a little concerned it's being moved to Tuesdays, since it would fit in a lot better with the family block on ABC's Wednesdays.

That being said though, that was a great premiere, really liked it. If there isn't an OT for it I think I'll put one up in a couple of days.

Yeah, the problem is that Wednesday is already packed, unless they add in a third hour of family comedy I suppose. They could move The Middle and pair it with FOB on another night, but I assume they don't want to fix what isn't broken there... which means Tuesdays and the night of death.

I just hope it survives and doesn't get Go On'ed or Selfied or Michael J Fox'ed or whatever other sitcom that got cancelled after 5 episodes. :(

Oh Sober, I'd appreciate if you made an OT. I just wrote a 1500 word essay about the pilot and I figure I should have somewhere to put it other than my blog that no one reads. lol

they don't need to replace #TheGoldbergs or #TheMiddle. #FotB sounds like a great Friday affair with #glee before that show is canceled.

Well FOX said you'd have to go back 20 years to find a show that grew over its first three episodes... I can't imagine over your first 5 being something that happens often, if ever then

I guess if you're sending it to die, why bother making it in the first place. They should have just let Fox have it.

Although then again, Fox sitcoms either die ungraceful deaths, or become zombies like Til Death.

Maybe they could pair it with The Goldbergs on Tuesdays before SHIELD/Carter or something

It is a tight fit for their schedule, and most of their Wedn comedies are doing well... pair well with each other

CBS isn't afraid to move its super hits around to help support newer comedies. It's why it has two comedy nights to go with their generic old people drama nights.

They probably could have split off Modern Family/The Middle to create a second family comedy night anyway. Either that, or they expect either one of Black-ish or FOB to fail, so they're not too concerned about not having space on the schedule in the first place.

It's like that final scene from Community. lol

Yes, but with different baggage associated with it (if the TCAs are to be believed). That said, I literally haven't watched All-American Girl since it originally aired, but my feeling is that FOB is going for a voice that is much less culturally specific. To paraphrase Huang, it's a white-washed version of his life, but that is what makes it palatable to everyone. It ultimately becomes more sitcom tropey - like Black-ish - than it is Asian-angst episode of the week.

Honestly i think one thing that makes empire popular is the awful overkill soap opera melodrama score that tells you exactly how you should be feeling in every single scene. Sometimes a scene starts and I'm like "hmm I don't quite know what's going on here" and then the score beats me over the head and then I get it.

Wasn't SVU on the bubble last season? Have its ratings improved to warrant an early renewal, or is it just that NBC's drama lineup is weak overall?

I think it's great "trash" TV and so exaggerated and over-the-top that it becomes a social phenomenon

Though oddly, I don't know anyone at my job who actually watches it so never heard it discuss in the real world.

Scandal the cheese mostly comes from the dialogue, although anything with Olivia and Fitz when the romantic theme is played is unbearable "uguu~~~ i could stand in ur light~~~ u might be the president of the us but i am the president of ur boner" *prepared to be battered by tearjerking strings*

The Olivia/Fitz theme should be burned. I know that's physically impossible. Someone figure it out.

"@weinmanj: EMPIRE is an example of how the show that makes the new network president a genius was often greenlit by the last network president."

"@poniewozik: @weinmanj Strangely enough, that network president is usually Kevin Reilly!"

Lol, too true.

I know Empire is Fox, not ABC, but didn't Sepinwall use to complain about how ABC shows had absolutely overbearing soundtracks all the time?

Chicago Med is actually in development (a backdoor pilot is going to air later this season on Chicago Fire), and I wouldn't be surprised if they also did a Chicago Law at some point too.

ABC has Shonday - NBC has Chicagoday.

Serious question: Has any show that is a network "borrowing" the idea of a niche cable show EVER worked out?
Click to expand...

I can't really think of many examples of it happening, and even if it didn't, why not? If the show is good on its own, it should be able to stand on its own. There are plenty of shows with similar premises that exist in tandem.

We're all copying Homer, anyway.
