Fox hits "Tru Calling" very hard !

Thursday 2 October 2003

Fox has changed its fall schedule. And if there does not happen a wonder "Tru Calling" will not have any chance to survive...

FOX has once again moved around its new fall schedule. Bracing for the impact NBC’s lineup would have on its summer hit, "The OC," (Buffy Writer Jane Espenson writes for this series) they’ve moved it to Wednesday nights.

Where have they moved Eliza Dushku’s "Tru Calling" to ? ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. Instead, they’ll be keeping it on Thursday (against Friends and Survivor) ; and if that wasn’t bad enough, they’ll be using their new reairing tactic on "Skin."

Good for "The OC" and Skin," very bad for "Tru Calling."

It will no longer have any new airing before or after it, leaving it to fend for itself.

Its only good chance before was the pairing with "The OC !"

And now "Angel" (airing on Wednesday`s too) must compete with "The OC". And David Greenwalts hit series Jake 2.0. is also there on Wednesday` to make the life of "Angel" harder.

But fortunately "Angel" is supported by the smash hit series "Smallville" airing just before "Angel" on theWB.

Bad times for Buffyverse and Eliza fans...
