And then later on in the conversation: Whyd you rescueLast Man Standing?
We love this show, those are great creators, its a phenomenal cast.
We ordered it throughout five seasons.
Its a great length of time for a single-camera comedy.
Ultimately we felt like we didnt have the exact right place to schedule it this year.
It performed best in our Sunday night lineup.
We wanted to giveBobs Burgersan opportunity to have a plum time period and really grow.
It really limited the opportunities to scheduleBrooklyn.
WithThursday Night Football, there were two fewer hours to program.
We were trying to create a more cohesive program, and schedulingBrooklynwould prevent us from promoting something new.
In other words:Were so glad the show we broke up with met somebody else!
The show will return to Friday nights this fall.
And if you were wondering, yes, ABCs success with revivingRoseannewas a factor.
Weve been talking to Tim throughout the year.
We tried to moveLast Man Standingover last year when ABC decided not to move forward.
Its a really funny show.
It had nothing to do withRoseannethat we were interested in the first place.
We always felt like ABC didnt really prioritizeLast ManStanding.
We were emboldened byRoseanne.
Fox executives were also asked if Allens politics were seen as a potential benefit.
Fox made the statements while revealing theirnew fall schedule.
