[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 321366, member: 27"] Back then, a weekly, hour-long show like a soap or crime drama typically ended up airing in a weekend slot since so much of the weekday schedule is programmed with Monday-through-Friday shows. Weekend schedules are typically at the mercy of sports events, which have been known to run over and screw up "regularly-scheduled" programming. So you might see 3/4 of an episode one week, then the show might get pre-empted the next week, and a whole episode once in a while---and that's no way to build a fan base for a new show. Weekend viewing is historically lower anyway since people have other things they may want to do. [/QUOTE]
