The Inbetween- definitely feels like a summer show so it shouldn’t matter
Primetimer posted their fantasy schedule; our thoughts:
first off, wow, that’s a lot of shows (that being said, the mod hopes they’re not going to cancel Abby’s! it’s a personal favorite)
is it too much cancer drama to partner medical drama New Amsterdam (where the lead Max has throat cancer) with new family drama Council of Dads? would that just be too heavy for viewers?
could SVU’s record-breaking season be used to launch crime drama Lincoln? or would that push be better served on a show without the IP-advantage Lincoln already has?
the network definitely ought to find a way to slot in its new comedies with the existing Thursday night comic block, but I Feel Bad, just this season, showed it’s tough; is it just me or would Perfect Harmony and The Good Place be a match made in heaven? perfectly harmonious? I couldn’t decide which pun to go with!
new comedy Sunnyside, meanwhile, feels like it could be a great fit with new drama Bluff City Law
is there any way they could cut back on the Voice, maybe move it down from three hours a week to two? Or move the results event into the tail-end of Sunday Night Football? Something to free up some space, and maybe even reenergize the Voice during its airing time?
