History is shaped by our hands.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has not been doing good in the ratings lately.  I will admit that content-wise, it's hit or miss.  For every incredibly great episode there are two just okay or even bad episodes.  I was surprised when it got picked up for the rest of the season.  I'm not surprised any more, as it was just announced that starting in February when it comes back from holiday break, the show is being moved to Fridays at 8 pm Eastern, or as it's more commonly known, a Friday night death slot.  This is where returning shows go to die and new shows go to never be given a chance to live.

Oh, and here's the real kicker and the reason why my last paragraph ended with a statement about new shows when everything else was about a returning show.  Following T:TSCC at 9 pm Eastern in the other Friday night death slot will be Joss Whedon's new show, Dollhouse.  That's right.  Just like Firefly, a Joss Whedon show on Fox will air in a Friday night death slot.  A slot where networks put shows that they have little confidence in.  A slot when most people don't watch TV.  A slot where new shows go to never be given a chance.

God damnit.
