Bull Poop scheduling


Why is this show being aired at 10pm ET ??

The worst language is "bull poop", the action is clean, the violence is goreless, and the sex is a kiss.

This is a great show to watch with the kids, and it is on at 10pm?

I know many folks record & watch later, but really, this scheduling is bull poop!

I agree. And they moved "Blindspot", which is wall-to-wall violence and terrorism, to 8 PM!! There must be some logic to the scheduling but I can't figure it out. I'm just glad those 2 shows aren't on opposite each other because I watch both of them and I'm an old-school type who likes to watch shows on a TV screen at the times they actually air and not wait for OnDemand or, worst case scenario, have to watch them on my computer.

Wasn't CBS getting killed at 10PM last year? I think it was a strategy move to take on Timeless. Unfortunately, it's not working. For now. These were the ratings for last night.

Timeless (NBC) 1.4/5 6.20
Scorpion (CBS) 1.3/5 7.05

If Timeless drops further, there may be a chance. Plus, CBS is trying to make a two-hour comedy block return to Mondays.

I couldn't stand more than two minutes of Kevin Can Wait, and the Matt LeBlanc one looks just as bad. CBS is trying hard to see what sticks. Mom is sort of hanging on and The Odd Couple has built its audience.

They'll pay through the nose, however, to keep BBT going. It's still getting some of the top ratings on TV (and just retook the weekly lead from Empire), and they have almost no problems with this cast.

I agree with you on "Kevin Can Wait!" I LOVED "The King of Queens" but couldn't bear to watch past the debut episode of his new series!
