The Parents Television Council thinks Pitch is a home run. Recently, the PTC urged FOX to move the series to another timeslot, Deadline reports.
The baseball drama follows Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury), the first woman to play for a Major Baseball League team. The cast also includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos, Dan Lauria, Mo McRae, Meagan Holder, and Tim Jo.
Recently, the PTC begged FOX to move Pitch to another day and night so it will gain more viewers and not get in the way of sports broadcasts:
We are urging Fox to ensure that ‘Pitch’ hits a home run with families by airing it on a different night that doesn’t conflict with other family-oriented sports programming, such as NFL broadcasts.
Families are hungry for TV shows that can be enjoyed by, and are safe for, the entire family, and ‘Pitch’ is a rare option in the TV universe.”
Currently, Pitch airs on Thursdays and has so far received somewhat low ratings, earning an average of 1.04 in the 18-49 demo and 3.952 million viewers.
What do you think? Have you seen Pitch? Do you think FOX should move the show’s timeslot?
Pitch is great. I catch up with it on HULU. Mark-Paul G. is awesome in his role, and I like the approach the female pitcher role with plausibility. Good job.
Pitch is great. Ginny Baker is a true inspiration for little girls during a really difficult time in our history, Plase give it a chance and move it to another night to see if it does better
This is a great show and should not be cancelled.
I love Pitch!!!! Great show, great story line, I hope they do not cancel it. I usually watch it on Hulu.
We love watching Pitch! It’s a good show and conveys real topics that young girls have to go through. also, the flashbacks add to the character and who is is today. Great Show!
They have to lose the flashbacks. It interupts the action. I’m sick of having to fast forward through them. Maybe if they kept it focused on her action it would be more interesting. Until then I vote for canceling it.
I love the show PITCH…it’s an awesome show. You should move it to another night so it can get more ratings and I believe it will do so much better….please don’t give up on the show
I think it is a great show. I think if it aired on a different night it may get more viewers. Every time I watch it I feel like I’m watching a sequel to a movie. Don’t give up on the show!
It’s not the time slot, the show is just bad. It’s more cheesy than the state of Wisconsin
Show just sucks.
This series is awesome. Please don’t let it be cancelled. Best family show in a long time. A great example for what young girls can grow up to be.. if needed move to another nite.. don’t cancel this show. I love it!!!
Having the show on Thursday night was not a smart decision by Fox given the stiff competition faced with other network offerings. I watch it on Hulu and really love the show.
I think this series has potential and should be given a fair chance. I don’t think it needs a different time slot. If there is a series that should be cancelled it should be Lethal Weapon. This one is really bad.
This show is unrealistic and was doomed from the start. I have watched every episode and I think it’s a really bad show.
Moving the show to a different time slot will still result in horrendous ratings. This would have been a decent 90 minute movie on the Disney Channel but as an ongoing series it was doomed for failure
If its really bad. Why do you continue to watch it?
I think Fox should definitely keep this wonderful series going ! If moving it to another time slot works, do it, by all means — it’s a fresh concept with great acting and an important story to tell!
What timeslot should they move it to? Some have suggested Wednesday at 8 pm, but why should Lethal Weapon move? They could move it to a Saturday. Does Fox want to do that? I think they should just show the 13 episodes and then decide if they want it to be a summer show.
Best time is about 2 am Friday, because we must protect public from this abomination.
