Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 479787" data-attributes="member: 2525">Tuesday at 9pm is 24, one of the highest rated "newer" shows.  I for one love Firefly, but I would dump it in a second for 24.  In fact, not only is 24 highly rated, but even the repeat of 24 that shows every week is more highly rated than Firefly right now.  It would not be a great move.Sundays at 8 is Simpsons.  That's a switch I might make, however many people won't.  Simpsons is still one of the highest rated shows out there, and has a lot of cross-over audience to Firefly.  It would make a great lead in to Alias on that night however (which is a FAR better show than Angel, and also decently rated).In addition, Firefly is currently garnering better ratings in its crappy time slot than Angel, which at a 2.4 and nearly out of the top 100, stands itself the risk of being cancelled.My thinking is that Monday's at 9 might work.  Yes, it would have massive competition from Everybody Loves Raymond, but I am not sure how much cross-over interference there would be.  Everybody does love Raymond, but few feel that the show is a must see.  It's more one of those shows people will watch if it is on and nothing else is on that is better (which is currently the case), but they might be willing to try new things.  This would also put it just after Boston Public, which is doing quite well for Fox (though again not much cross-over for the show).Could try it Saturday night, but that might be an even worse slot than Friday night.Or could just leave it right where it is.  Not a great time slot, but not the worst slot either, in such a tight TV market.  Next year might be better, as some aging (but still higly rated shows) finally go off the air for lack of interest on the part of the actors.</blockquote>
