Fox is moving struggling new drama Rake once again. This will be the third night and time change for the series. It started off Thursdays at 9, then moved to Fridays at 8. The Greg Kinnear series has faltered in the ratings and is now being relocated to Saturday effective immediately. Three episodes of the series remain, and Fox will air two of them this Saturday from 8-10pm. Presumably, the final episode is not scheduled yet because Fox has sports the next few Saturdays.
