Schedule; Um, not a TV Show

I thought I would post some shows schedules of normal television, just some of my favorites feel free to add anything you want. These schedule's could be wrong simply because the source may not have been reliable enough, but they should be right.

With the exception of Heroes:

Fringe returns to fox in September 17th 2009, which is unusually on a Thursday.

Supernatural of my shows returns the soonest at September 10th 2009

Smallville returns unusually on a Friday with Septemeber 25th 2009

And while you may not care, Chuck will not air until March 2010, which sucks, horribly.

Opinions on the schedule:

Fringe- Why, why did they have to move it from Tuesday to Thursday, I'll explain why this is troubling right next.

Supernatural- Remains on a Thursday and is coming out soon. Here's why I have the problem with Fringe, Fringe usually airs at 8:00 PM where I am at, the problem is, so does Supernatural however:

Smallville- Friday is fine, because then there's hope that either Fringe or Supernatural will come on first before the other, but I'm not getting my hopes up

Chuck- Still sucks, 2010?

Opinion Overall: Why the hell do these networks have the nerve to change schedule, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm not kidding sometimes I think they do it so another show gets better viewing. I remember when Chuck temporarily moved from Mondays to "Thursdays?" and they showed stupid show of stupidness instead.

I honestly don't get why they do it.

But what about new shows? My answer is this: Why the hell can't they take those time slots, while old shows get their old reliable timeline.

But why not switch it up? Because it reduces viewership of the show. A lot of viewers (at least I hope I'm not the only one) work their schedule to see these shows in that specific order. Changing it really screws up the timeline, and one has to be dropped in favor in another, and for people like me, you lose a lot of "ratings" because of it.

But surely after the season hiatus,,, While yes it is possible things have changed (in regards to your schedule) within the past "6" months, still this requires a great deal of Foresight, and even changing your schedule around won't work around the fact two of your favorite shows are airing on the same day.

But they're obviously different networks then Yes, I like to watch some FOX shows, CW Shows, and NBC shows, but I don't approve of having to choose a favorite, while I'd hate it; Heroes/NBC comes first, if Supernatural, Fringe, and Heroes were on at the same time, I'd have drop Fringe and Supernatural, and this not preferable. Let me ask you something for a change If a lot of people watch five shows religiously between Monday through Friday, one show per day, and the networks messed around and showed three shows at the same time, you do realize there would be a significant drop in viewership as you'd then only be able to watch two shows, that's three shows that got dropped because of schedule change

But what if the schedule was changed because of the ratings? Okay fair point but (and I'm being selfish when I say this): Who cares, keep the schedule the same.

The way I see it, brand new shows have to deserve their spot in a good timeline. None of this "Monday is only for new shows" nonsense.
