[Curse_7781]

This is excellent news! I know I'll definetly tune in :)

[raven56706]

good news... hopefully now they can make some sense of their storylines and give more wrestlers a chance...

[BravesMG]

This is awesome news, but I can't find anything about if it's 60 or 90 minutes. Given that it isn't mentioned, I'm betting on 60. Hopefully the deal is open ended in case ratings are solid, 60 minutes just isn't enough to compete with, especially with a roster as deep as TNA.

If it was just Earl, I wouldn't be concerned... and at least this is going to be in the spring, hopefully when the new shows are going on hiatus.

But once the new season starts, TNA could be in trouble if all the regular shows return in the 9pm slot - My Name is Earl, Dancing With The Stars, and CSI.

It's one hour. 9-10.

UFC Unleashed will be 10-11

Ultimate Fighter Season 3 will be 11-12.

Ugh. That sucks. I'm a huge UFC fan too, but those Unleashed shows are terrible. It's fights most people have already seen, or too old to be relevant. I don't see how TNA can make significant strides without some extra time. It would have been great to see the Saturday night slot be used for an additional hour of original programming. Use the hour to showcase the guys that don't make it to the primetime slot. It's not like they can't run encores at all hours of the night some other night.

[ChrisHicks]

hmm...Earl, CSI, The O.C., and Supernatural. I'm thinking I'll be catching replays only.

[dadaluholla]

Yeah its not really a good timeslot, but i guess it might do slightly better than saturday.

At least I have no scheduling conflicts, so i'll be able to watch.

[cactusoly]

thats what Tivo is for

[krazykat72]

The saturday show will be a repeat of the thursday one come april.
