Just finished watching Wonderfalls, and at the end it said that the show is moving to Thursday! WTF? Is this move to try to help it or finish it off?

Discuss!

Totally missed the schedule change. I was too focused on Jaye being told she must 'destroy' her H.S. nemesis at the class reunion. haa haa.

Thurs is a better time though, right? Look at Fri nites on Fox - Firefly, John Doe, Fastlane..... best to move it out of that black hole of death that is the time spot.

Survivor, Friends, CSI. I would say this is the axe on Wonderfalls. It has no way of competing against those shows. I'll give it about another month until it is canceled. I already read somewhere that it is in danger of being canceled very soon.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

The thursday-rerun of the pilot scored higher than the original airing. That might have prompted Fox's decision.

As long as they promote the move, I think this can only be a good thing. It shows that Fox is willing to give WF a chance---that's a worry that has kept many from watching it.

Oh, and something else. The WF website says that the April 1st airing will be a "special time". That implies the move might not be permanent if it doesn't do well.

When any show is moved to another time slot, it signals the beginning of the end of it. This is never a good sign.

I don't think the people that watch Survivor or Friends are the target audience for Wonderfalls anyway. Not sure about CSI, as I have only seen a single episode.

The move to Thursday won't change things for me with regards to Wonderfalls, it will encourage me to watch Tru Calling.

Um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm Angry. And I'm Armed.

Actually, I'm betting that it will preempt Tru Calling. It's not listed anywhere, not even on Fox's schedule (well, ok, it's still listed as airing next Friday) but the only options for preemption are Tru Calling and Forever Eden.

Tim Minear said on the Buffistas board that the Thursday move may not be permanent, but could be depending on how things go. Todd Holland corroborated that as well. It looks like Fox is at least willing to experiment with how they are handling the show instead of cancelling it swiftly (like they did with Harsh Realm and numerous other shows). I consider that positive with the absolutely horrid ratings that Wonderfalls has posted so far.

Wow. Why the heck are the ratings so low? Is the public just blissfully unaware of this show, or what?
