no boston legal?

Where is Boston legal this week? Have you thought about scheduling it to show after American Idol, Like between 10-to midnight?
I really have enjoyed seeing so much of BL at one time

Maybe I'm getting old, but I am a creature of habit. ION Television seems to be constantly messing around with programming. This week there is no Boston Legal, instead 007 movies. This is crazy. ION needs to figure out their schedule and leave it!
EDIT - ION seems to change their programming once a week or every other week. My weekly newspaper TV guide cannot keep up. One week, Boston Legal just on Tuesday. Following week, back to Tuesday and Wednesday. Next week, 4 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. BL is the only show I watch on ION. Maybe I should buy the DVDs and let ION play their programming games.

They're replacing Boston Legal this week. I'm not a huge fan of the show, and don't watch it personally, but I don't quite think that'd be too good for ratings.

yeah, seems like the first James Bond movie did very well for them - hit over a million viewers, something that hasn't been accomplished since Mama in primetime. It's too bad - I've gotten in the habit of watching Boston Legal at 10pm.

Really? Your saying that there is a way to hit over a million viewers nightly, and all that it involves is bringing Mama's Family back to primetime? Could it be that easy? It seems so easy to do. I bet that it would be a very smart move, but if only there was a television station lying around that would like to play Mama's Family nightly, and see if you are telling the truth or not. But where could we find a television station that would do that? Where, I ask, where?

I miss Boston Legal! I love the show and I am dissapointed that it's not on. I looked forward to it, and was glad to give it 3 hours of my attention the nights it was on. Finally, something good to watch on tv, I thought! Please bring back Boston Legal!

I AGREE ION. There was so much advertising that BL would run 3 hours on Tuesday night, and the same on Wednesday night. I was never able to catch it in its original time slot, but now: I could catch up on the characters and the story line. Well that lasted about 2 or 3 weeks. Then tonight, after a long, rainy, tiring workday, I'm looking forward to relaxing on the sofa to see what Denny and Alan get into just to be disappointed with a 25 year old James Bond (Roger Moore) movie that has been on at least 12 times in the past 6 months.
Come on ION, give us back Boston Legal on Tuesday and Wednesday.

LOL - do you think they get the hint??

Mama's Family used to hit over a million at 8pm. When it was taken off, it was still getting 700-800,000 viewers. But, it's demo was extremely show - the only reason they took it off, along with the other comedies, which have since disappeared from primetime. I guess their new favorites, NCIS and Boston Legal, do very well for them in the demo. As of their last ratings report, this year's ratings vs. last year's are up bigtime. .2 to .5 demo, plus an increase in about 100,000 viewers I believe.
