So basically a show is doing fine on a Friday people watch it then the network moves it to a Tuesday, where you already have something else you watch or have something else so you have that evening gotta make a decision on what to watch or do, and if you don’t watch that Friday show now for whatever reason they think oh i guess people don’t like it anymore because the ratings went down

Sometimes it was them perpously Tanking a show so nobody could follow when it was on or unintentionally like we have this new show Best Buddies for Friday move Bad Cops to Tuesday

And back then it wasn’t like a PVR where it records it no matter what day it’s on or streaming where it is at your fingertips
