Fox Cancels Lone Star, Makes Changes to 3 Nights; Centric Adds Girlfriends
Fox coming off a disappointing premiere week has canceled new Monday drama Lone Star after just 2 airings. The most recent airing did only a 1.0 18-49 rating, coming in last and losing to Gossip Girl on The CW in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour. The series premiere a week prior only mustered a 1.3 18-49 rating. As a result, Lie to Me, the No. 1 broadcast drama of the summer, will now have its third season premiere this Monday (Oct. 4) in that 9pm slot. Originally Lie to Me was scheduled to return to the Fox schedule on Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 8pm, but that is no longer happening. Instead, Human Target will now return to Wednesdays at 8pm starting Nov. 17 (two-hour episodes of Hell's Kitchen will air until then). This is a last minute change for Human Target, as it was slated to have its season premiere this coming Friday (Oct. 1) at 8pm, but that is not happening anymore. Instead Fox will air repeats of House in the slot leading into the poorly performing Good Guys at 9pm. That is my bet for the next cancellation. So there you have it, changes to three nights on Fox--two immediate changes and one change starting in November.
Centric has quietly added Girlfriends to its schedule starting this Sunday (Oct. 3). The series will air on this date back-to-back in the 10pm ET hour leading into The Cosby Show at 11. Girlfriends will encore in the 1am hour as well. As of now, it is only airing Sundays, but if they make any changes to its line-up, we will certainly let you know.
Centric will be adding The Steve Harvey Project starting Oct. 18 in primetime at 9pm. Award-winning comedian and author, Steve Harvey, and his co-hosts light up weekday mornings with the Steve Harvey Morning Show. The show features the latest in news, entertainment, and celebrity interviews and the offers dating advice through the popular Strawberry Letter segments and is coming to TV via Centric starting Oct. 18. The network already airs reruns of the sitcom The Steve Harvey Show, so this radio show should be a nice companion.
