To their credit, the FOX network has been having one of their most successful fall seasons in its history. One of the problem spots on their current schedule is Friday nights, which offers sitcoms Brothers and ‘Til Death and Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
Not surprisingly, the programmers have decided to pull the low-rated series from the schedule for November sweeps. They’re being replaced by repeats of House and Bones which, sad to say, will no doubt perform much better.
While one of the pulled series isn’t really leaving and the other is already slated to return in December, this certainly doesn’t help their chances for the future. Interrupting a regular schedule typically results in fewer people watching when a show returns from a hiatus. In truth though, the shows’ ratings have been killing them long before FOX made this schedule change.
