Bad News, Bad News, COPS Fans...

This is an expensive move for Fox, but should be a big boost to ratings...

What ratings? Saturday night is not the viewer draw it once was. Hell, when FOX canned "AMW," they even admitted that part of the reason was they needed "a space to air reruns."

But live sports on that night gets ratings

It looks like this is another move toward more sports on Saturday nights. I had commented this might be a good direction for ABC to go but it looks like Fox is beating them to the punch. This may actually be a good move for Fox. So does this mean there will be some Saturday nights where college football will be on both Fox and ABC, not to mention what is on cable?

I didn't realize that the main Fox network had a deal for college football though. I thought this was for games on FX.

So why come up on so many threads where all you post is "I don't watch ____" ? I'll admit I don't watch COPS much, but I am interested in this thread from the angle of more sports on Saturday nights.

I've never seen one episode of Cops.

Seriously, can we ban this poster???

I just like to read about what folks are watching. I watch none of it except the local news.

You want to deny me the ability to make a comment?

Not useful ones, of which a steady diet of "I've never watched...." might not qualify.

Wouldn't it be more helpful if you posted on threads about what you are familiar with?
Start from a position of strength, no matter how tenuous....that kinda thing, instead of peppering the internets with "I do not do that kinda thing?" all the time?

Lifetime should get COPS, period. Do whatever they have to do to get rights to take over airing this show from FOX.

 

[imhomerjay]

Um, sure. They'll get right on it, no doubt. :

COPS was certainly interesting the first couple of seasons but they've stayed with the same formula far too long. There is a limit to the number of car chases and doorknob busts someone can view with interest.

I would imagine that part of the program's theme, though repetitive, is that there is no end to idiots who think they are the ones who will get home drunk or drugged, the domestic incidents, theft, fraud, subterfuge and whatever else shows up there.

Lifetime: Television for neurotic women (imho)

Will Fox pick up College bball for the winter?

 

[anotherguyTN]

That's all they would need to go year round with sports on Saturday nights.
