Post FIX that network!!!
This is a thread in which posters here can give in their 2 cents on how a certain network can rejuvinate its ratings.
Most;y for FOX, NBC, and ABC, but you can add in other networks if you want.

By late May, the networks should hve their 05-06 schedules up, so you can also try to guess how they'll schedule their shows.

I'll start....
I have always rooted for ABC and it remains my favorite network and so for some reason I am always trying to find wys in which they can really capitalize on their ratings...

Here is how they should approach the coming season...

Sundays: America's Funniest Home Videos, Extreme Makeover, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy

Mondays: Mondaynight Football, Boston Legal/ 2 comedies, Supernanny, Boston Legal

Tuesdays: According to Jim, Rodney, (The Mole), New Drama

Wednesdays: LOST, ALIAS, another (J.J. Abrams) drama

Thursdays: 2 comedies, 1 drama, Primetime

Fridays: ALL NEW comedy/family block of shows or 2 com+1 drama, 20/20

Saturdays: Either movies or weekly repeats of their biggest shows (LOST, DH, GA)

I know that's way too many comedies to come up with for a new season, but o well.
I basically think they should add around 3 more dramas (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday)
A minimum of 6 new comedies
They should add a reality/game show or bring back The Mole!!!!

They should cancel....
Extreme Makeover: Howd They Do That
The Bachelor
My Wife and Kids
George Lopez
Blind Justice
Eyes
Complete Savages
Jake In Progress

Comedies in Limbo....
(stick em in Friday night or cancel em)
Less than Perfect
Hope and Faith

Drama in Limbo....
Wifeswap (try it out on Fridays at 9 since alot of wives are at home around that time)

ABC still has it next season, before moving to ESPN in 2006. NBC is getting Sunday Night Football in 2006. *Smartass*

I'll make up my personal Line-up later.
