"Human Target" moves to Wednesdays

[enlee]

"In the fallout of the Lone Star cancellation, Fox's drama Human Target will move from Fridays to Wednesdays, taking over the slot originally given to Lie To Me."

"It will premiere Nov. 17."

Read the rest here.

We have to wait until the middle of NOVEMBER??? GGaaahhhh!!!!

At least it doesn't have the Friday Night Death Slot now.

I was JUST coming here to post this.

GUYS, I FEEL LIKE MY TEARS ARE CRYING.

Yay for it being out of the death slot, but November? Seriously? AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGH. They announced the Oct. 1 premiere months ago, and people STILL tuned in on the 24th expecting it. Now that they've booted it all the way back to November? Forget it. People will get pissed they can't keep track of it, and they'll stop trying. UUUUUUUUGH. In the words of Beyonce, this is a disastuh.

Even worse, they're putting a rerun of House in its place. Unless Fox opens with a promo announcing the change, anyone tuning in expecting HT and seeing House will throw their hands up in defeat.

If Fox is going to push back "Human Target" to November, they damn well better give the show some publicity about the change, dammit!!

It's sad, but I think the network has made it clear they don't have any faith in HT. They kept it around to fill any potential holes left by cancellations in the fall/spring schedule, which is exactly what it's doing now. On Friday, which has lower expectations, HT might've stood a chance at renewal. But back on Weds...well. Unless the changes they made to the series really appeal to new viewers, I wouldn't bank on a season 3.

I just read this.

Maybe HT needs a campaign such as the one other FOX shows have had--to put it on another network. Frankly, I think it would be a PHENOMENAL addition to the TNT family of procedurals.

Obviously, FOX doesn't give a rat's ass about it. I am incensed about this. I can appreciate the move from the Friday death slot but this is RIDICULOUS, making the fans wait an extra month & a half.

I think this is excellent news! Being on Wednesdays means the show actually has a chance to find an audience and survive. :)

It may suck that we have to wait a little longer for the premiere, but in the long run I think this is doing all of us a favor. It definitely shows more faith in the show to put it on Wednesdays than Fridays.
