Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of shows that started as midseason replacements
back per above; there's no need to split such a short definition from this list.  That a show started as a midseason replacement is something often mentioned and compared in TV criticism and analysis.http://books.google.com/books?id=p1qTKd8_Fi8C&pg=PA134&lpg=PA134&dq=buffy+midseason+replacement&source=bl&ots=8_K9SLtFxX&sig=0BSYtr-TdHwmsmtpejl3n18cDlA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=n_YJT8mUOqPi0QGj2uyhCw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=buffy%20midseason%20replacement&f=false,http://books.google.com/books?id=kdWTvOWo9eUC&pg=PA124&dq=midseason+replacement&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4fYJT9eYCon30gGU-t2oAg&ved=0CD0Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=midseason%20replacement&f=false,http://books.google.com/books?id=mGq1140hmUUC&pg=PA186&dq=midseason+replacement&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4fYJT9eYCon30gGU-t2oAg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=midseason%20replacement&f=false  If reliable sources identify it as such, then it qualifies, contra Nate's concern about a lack of definition (people really need to do research to understand an unfamiliar topic instead of assuming that their personal lack of knowledge reflects anything more than just that).http://books.google.com/books?id=T9zj0AqB6bUC&pg=PA116&dq=midseason+replacement&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4fYJT9eYCon30gGU-t2oAg&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=midseason%20replacement&f=false  The nom should also be admonished for bringing this here instead of merging himself, per
