Boston Legal moving to Wednesdays
- Thread starter cardinal biggles
- Start date
Dang it. The network aren't terribly concerned with keeping this show, are they? First Sunday, then to Tuesday, and now to Wednesday.
Oh well. I'll watch it for as long as it's on. Alan's closings alone make the show worthwhile for me.

That, and CSI: NY.
Well the question begs, "What are they going to put in that slot?"
They must think or have something that they are preparing to place in the BL Tuesday timeslot. New reality series?
Even if it doesn't get picked up for a fifth season, which I think it will, David Kelly doesn't usually go for long series anyway.

Maybe they'll put Women's Murder Club there permanently if its ratings go up enough to merit renewal. I believe it's considered a "bubble show" at the moment.
Methinks they're burying WMC and deciding that BL might get better ratings in the Wednesday slot until WMC dies.

I think you're probably right. They'll have 88 episodes at the end of this season, and another 22-24 season episode would put them well over the hump for syndication (though BL reruns will already start in the fall on the ION network).
I love this show. I don't watch it when it airs - I have watched the first 3 seasons entirely on DVD. But it's a great show and it would be a shame if it went away.
It really boggles the mind that they would even consider canceling a show that has won so many awards. Shatner and Spader alone are pure brilliance, and worth the price of the DVD sets all on their own.
I hope the network makes every effort to keep this show alive.

Damn, there goes Top Cheif either for three weeks or at 10 (CDT) making it hard to watch Family Guy and Two & a Half Men reruns.
They were the same way with NYPD Blue, during its waning years anyway. Held its own against SVU and Judging Amy (usually came in second to SVU), and was still the highest-rated of ABC's dramas at the time (the most prominent — and better advertised of which — were Alias and The Practice), prior to the start of Lost and Desperate Housewives.
You must be new, I bitch about that EVERY Boston Legal review thread.
No ads telling us that it is moving, no ads saying how the actors win awards, nothing.
And like you said they aren't even online. I feel like not buying any more BL DVDs and just downloading them to as a big "Fuck you" to ABC.
It will get a season 5, and that will most likely be the last. I see no point in bringing it back after the strike just to cancel it. Plus ABC might want to see how syndication goes, if it's good they will want more episodes.
ABC doesn't own the show, they just air it. BL is produced by 20th Century Fox's television division. So not buying the show on DVD will hurt Fox and David E. Kelley's production company, not the nitwits at ABC's promotions department.
