The only problem with this is Fox has relegated it to Sunday nights after the NFL (or I'm getting muddled with another show) either way it's like they are trying to kill the show before it becomes REALLY popular, I don't think they expected it to be as popular as it was, it was certainly the unexpected hit of 2017, and well, it certainly seems like they're trying to kill it.

Wouldn't it have the opposite effect? All of those people watching TV at the end of the game...a percentage of them would most likely stay tuned to watch what's next. Even if that's 1% of everyone who watched the game that's still a hefty crowd. FOX's ratings for late Sunday division rounds was at around 35 Million viewers. Just 1% is an extra 350,000 viewers. The pilot which aired on Sunday night had 2.8 million adults 18-49 with 8 Million Live+same day stream viewers with a total of 14 Million across all platforms. That number went down on the move to Thursday to 6 Million live+Same Day Stream viewers at the end of the season. Some of that came from the NFL game right before it.
It will probably start with at least 6 Million live+Same Day viewers...no less than 5 Million. And those are low very conservative numbers.

Time shifters are a big part of an audience these days, and putting it on at wildly unpredictable times will kill that. You don't want to program the DVR to record from 8 pem to midnight to catch one show, for example.
Of course, the proper solution is to end the games on time. If it is scheduled to end at 8, it ends at 8 and the network goes to what's next.
But pigs might fly first.

Originally posted by Looney View PostI wish that were true, but I highly doubt it. That seems like a logical argument, but more than likely people turn to other things after the game is over. The big thing you have to consider is that after the game is over there is the mandatory Post Game Show; the discussion by overpaid ex-players about what happened in the game people just watched and what happened in all of the games of the week. It is mandatory and you would have to expect all of those viewers who watched the game to sit through the entire Post Game Show to watch the Orville. And if the game runs long they still have that stupid Post Game Show. That is why I say this is not a good time slot. But who knows. My fingers are crossed that it will work.Originally posted by Annoyed View PostTime shifters are a big part of an audience these days, and putting it on at wildly unpredictable times will kill that.

Originally posted by aretood2 View PostIt's risky, I admit. However one thing that does work against it and I think it did work against it, is changing the time slot all together. Moving a show in the middle of a season or not announcing the return of that show after a hiatus in time kills shows faster than whatever was on before it. So here's to enjoying similar numbers but with more stability, that's really the best we can hope for.

A sci-fi oriented or exclusive network would not be financially workable.
