House on Mondays? Interesting...

I can't say that I am shocked to see Terminator in the Friday Death Slot, but I am a little surprised that they're putting Dollhouse there without even testing it somewhere else first. Seems like Joss is gonna get screwed yet again, although with Riley in charge maybe they'll follow through on this show.

Looks like FOX has already killed Dollhouse off by putting it on Friday.

I like pairing House with 24.

However, I am stumped moving Bones to Thursday nights. I thought FOX threw in the towel competing that night.

As for Terminator, I think there wasn't another option. It was already getting killed on Monday's.

I am surprised about Dollhouse. I thought it could have done well on Monday's with 24.

Hell's Kitchen is going to get slaughtered by CSI, Grey's, The Office

WTF? They just renewed Terminator for the back 9 and stick it on Fridays? And putting Dollhouse there? Ugh. Idiots. The last Friday show I watched on Fox was Boston Public and we all know how that went.

Good luck, Whedon!

Same. Now I have to find alternate means of watching Chuck as its not up against Gossip Girl and House at the same time.

Me, neither. Kind of an odd pairing. House's numbers are already down this season, moving it around isn't going to help it much.

Love that 24 is returning.

But moving Terminator to Friday? And Dollhouse, too? Might as well count them both down for the count.

Crap. Might as well not even start watching it if they've already given it the time slot of death.

wow- over the past few years, Fox has turned from one of my favorite channels to one that I couldn't care less about... In fact, I'm not sure I've cared since Married With Children went off the air...

Its a death slot because no one watches on Fridays. They are out eating and watching movies.

Dollhouse is already dead with that timeslot. I can already hear the Whedon fanboys churning in anger (oh wait, I'm one of them.....).

An hour later than Firefly originally aired on Friday nights. Oh FOX, you are asking for it, aren't you?
