	Talk:Friday Night Death Slot - The TV IV
		From The TV IV Codswallop, The Invisible Man went two seasons (mostly) at Fridays at 8:00, and Farscape was Fridays at 8 or 9 for as long as it was on.
		Both The Invisible Man and Farscape were Scifi channel shows, and Scifi's Friday lineup is generally considered to be extremely successful.
		The thing is, ratings that Scifi Channel considers to be astronomical would be considered pretty bad by any major network because Scifi doesn't have anywhere near as large of a viewer base as CBS or ABC or even FOX just by virtue of being a cable channel.

		Friday Night Videos jumped the shark the same way that almost all the other long time music video shows and channels jumped the shark.
		Its time slot was Friday nights at 12:30 am, the old timeslot for NBC's long running music series "The Midnight Special", with 90 minute episodes of "Second City Television" airing in that time slot for a few years between the the time of MNS's cancelation and FNV's debute.
		They claim that Friday Night had its biggest ratings in the seven years that Rita hosted, but I cannot see how as it was mostly un-watchable.

	Into the 'Lights'
		Filming in Kyle, actor Taylor Kitsch does a stunt for 'Friday Night Lights.' Even on the football field, the cast members do most of their own plays, but stunt doubles take the really hard hits.
		The goal is for "Friday Night Lights" to appeal to young and old, sports fans and nonsports fans.
		And the show's Tuesday time slot seems to confuse some people — even though a show about high-school football would never air on Friday nights when games are played.

		The network and Fox News are thought by news insiders to be using their new syndicated newsmagazine Geraldo at Large (which airs in prime slots on all of Fox's OandOs) as a test run of rolling out a national newscast.
		In 1997, Fox-owned station WTVT in Tampa, Florida, fired two reporters, Jane Akre and Steve Wilson, who had refused instructions from superiors to revise a story on bovine growth hormone in ways that the reporters saw as being in conflict with the facts, and had threatened to report Fox to the FCC.

	Friday, 2200
		So far, I haven't touched on anything that could remotely be considered an advantage of having any show run on Friday nights, but there are some not so obvious advantages out there (if you look hard enough and some of these things can be eerie).
		Most of the rest of the successful Friday night shows have been things that I more or less can't stand (like the TGIF line up; you have your Urkels and your Sabrinas and your Corey Matthews).
		Maybe these shows illustrate my next point; a show doesn't have to be as good to be successful on Friday night because, on average, that is when television is a veritable wasteland.

	'Night Stalker' Rises Again - Thanks to DVD and a run on Sci Fi, ABC's short-lived remake gets more life - Zap2it
		On May 30, Walt Disney Video released "Night Stalker: The Complete Series," a boxed set of all 10 produced episodes of the ABC series "Night Stalker," which premiered in Sept. 2005.
		It was a re-imagined version of an unpublished novel by Jeff Rice and two 1970s TV movies, "The Night Stalker" and "The Night Strangler," which starred Darren McGavin as monster-hunting newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak.
		On the subject of battles, Spotnitz relates one example from his "Night Stalker" experience: "Believe it or not, after the show was ordered, I was told they didn't want any monsters in the show, which was kind of jaw-dropping to me, because if anybody knows the 'Night Stalker' title, more than anything it's about monsters.

	Friday
		In choosing to write Ritter’s death into the series, ABC was attempting to transition “Rules” from a lighthearted, semi-racy Ritter vehicle to a seriocomic, more traditional family ensemble anchored by Katey Sagal.
		Garner’s role on “Rules” is atypical in that he is clearly a secondary character: by design, most of the heavy lifting is by Sagal (and to some extent David Spade, who plays Sagal's cousin).
		Garner is one of those performers whose stature lends instant gravitas to a project by virtue of his participation.

	The Bob Gentry Journal » Death
		I read that he died sometime late Friday or early Saturday of a heart attack at his home in the San Fernando Valley, according to his ex-wife Flyn Pryor but I’m sure there will be something more "official" in the news tonight.
		This show used to be on late at night in the metro Detroit area… and being the night owl that I am, the show hooked me. I used to get lost in it.
		They tried to bring a new version of the TV series back in 2000, but it was the chemistry of David Janssen and Barry Morse that really made that old show… The 2000 version didn’t stand a chance.

		I like to think the TARDIS went to Reinette's death bed so she could see him one last time, like she says in the letter.
		I mean, there's nothing that contradicts that and it just seems so sad for him to leave their relationship like that.
		Two episodes air Sunday night, and I hear the show is brilliant – tightly plotted, with some flat out references (and more subtle ones) to the parent show, plus a ton of gore, violence and sex.

	Friday Night Lights - Arts and Faith
		He doesn't want to have to cater to them, but to get to do the part he really loves and is really valuable, he must struggle along with it.
		As TV producers try to have it both ways by luring viewers with sensationalism while sometimes offering something serious to think about, it is fairly unusual for a program to be explicitly concerned with higher things.
		I guess they were trying to use the "fight" with his wife where he told her how badly they needed to win as a window into how the pressure's starting to affect him, but I don't think it was enough to completely sell it for me.

		WWE started airing Smackdown on Thursday nights on UPN in 1999, and it has been consistently the most popular or second most popular show on the network, which has struggled at points to survive.
		What most people believed was a dumb move, moving their most popular long-term show to Friday nights, has proven to be brilliant so far.
		Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting demonstration that the Friday night death slot may not always be so, especially since they are moving a programming in that has such a dedicated following.

		Spike TV aired Velocity on Saturday night and Heat on Sunday night, featuring some of the lower-level and smaller WWE wrestlers in matches each week.
		There was widespread rumors in the wrestling industry that the company would be letting a lot of these lower-card wrestlers go once there was no longer a weekly product to air them on, and some of those wrestlers were reportedly trying to figure out what else they could do with their lives.
		But I thought Monday night's show was a surreal battle between content producers and the network and shows the power Spike TV believed even mentioning the other network would have.

		Fox also has a habit of moving successful shows to the Friday night death slot with little to no warning or advertising, then citing poor ratings and cancelling the show, a recent example being Malcolm in the Middle.
		Fox advertises its children's programming in the early evening hours usually on Sundays, but most recently also on Fridays (except during NFL games) as opposed to Friday nights as NBC does when it advertises select programs from its Discovery Kids lineup.
