Or broken up to two nights a week and helping out a new series
instead.

It's pretty much unchangeable now--the nets are convinced that
everyone's either out or watching the movie premieres on HBO or Starz
on Saturday nights.  Every time something on Saturday night (usually a
sports event) pulls big numbers, Marc Berman points out that if you
put on something people want to watch, they'll watch on Saturday
night, but no one listens to him.  And it's still reruns, second tier
college football, "Cops," "America's Most Wanted" and "48 Hours
Mystery" on Saturdays.  And everybody's worried that Friday night will
go the way of Saturday, although NBC and Fox haven't waved the white
flag yet and gone all reality and reruns on Friday, from their
schedules.
