ABC, why are you being so stupid?

I had been looking forward to this show for a long time because I loved Jennifer Westfeldt from KISSING JESSICA STEIN. I was not disappointed either. The show was hilarious and highly entertaining. But I'm p*ssed! They didn't give it a very good lead-in at all. It was just dumped there. The shows before it were clip shows for Ugly Betty and then one for Grey's Anatomy, just recapping stuff that has happened this season to catch people up who have missed episodes. They didn't even have the decency to air it after a new episode of Grey's Anatomy, which is one of the most watched shows on TV and it could have seriously gave this show a helping hand.

All thing's considered this did get off to a solid start, but they are killing it by moving it to Wednesday's. The last episode of According To Jim got just 5.09 Million viewers, and that was a new episode! And that is its lead-in! This is awful! This show had hit potential for sure if they weren't screwing it over. You'd think they would try and keep it considering its debut was better than all of ABC's comedy shows do. They made a big mistake d*mn it! This show had serious hit potential. I wish ABC would announce what their plans will be so far (you know, if there's a chance they will keep the show or not). Please let it do solid enough on Wednesday night!

I'm more upset that it's going up against "Friday Night Lights" in the timeslot.

Good thing "Lights" is on it's season break right now

Hey Alex! Read Timeline. Hey Cinemaniac! Read Next.

I agree. Not only is it on Wednesday nights when there are a lot of other shows on that people have been loyal to, but that's the only night of the week I'm scheduled to work. Bah. How cruel.

they show it online at ABC.com. You can watch it the day after it airs on tv.

I love the abc online, but I think people are griping about the timeslot because if it get's cancelled then no one will be able to watch it anywhere. Which is a shame cause it's a really funny show with a stellar cast. I hope it makes it.

When Day Break was canceled after 6 episodes in December ABC put the remaining episodes on ABC.COM, when the ones already aired. If this is canceled, check out anc.com to see if they do the same.

I think they are relying on both their air and online views of their shows now to determined whither to keep or cancel it. Let say their air time view aren't that high, but their online views are out standing their going to figure out why this is happening. Early this week they had a online questionaire about why I was watching it online. I put because due to my schedule, I am not at home to watch it at its scheduled time. I also think this questionaire will demand also what to do about the shows.
