Talk:2006–07 United States network television schedule

message: NBC must have absolutely no faith in its prime time lineup.  Why else would they change all but the weekend nights' lineups only 10 days after making the original upfront presentation?  I don't know the name of the president of NBC Entertainment (Jeff Zucker?), but I bet he doesn't last past next February.--Desmond Hobson 05:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why are there separate articles for Saturday programming?  The main articles are titled television schedule—not prime time television schedule (or evening television schedule.  Shouldn't they all be merged?  —EncMstr 09:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: One show that will appear midseason on the CW on Sundays is Reba. I don't know the time slot yet, but please make a note of it in your extreme ambition to create season info that hasn't been confirmed. --Dleav 12:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  CW Sunday Midseason 

message: here's the version of the introductory paragraph I just added:
:The following is the United States broadcast television schedule for five of the most popular English language commercial television networks for the 2006 fall season.  This represents the schedule as announced by the networks earlier in the year.   Because new series and season premieres of previous shows are rolled out gradually over several weeks, and because new shows can be cancelled quickly (sometimes after only one episode is aired), this schedule may not be accurate for any specific week.  This is particular true for shows which were scheduled to start in 2007.
This article could go one of two ways:  (1) it could be updated every week, representing that week's version of a network's schedule, or (2) it can be characterized as a snapshot of each network's schedule as defined back in May? when networks pitch their plans to advertisers.  It could also go a third way: updated in a haphazard fashion, with some changes along the way.  To avoid the latter, I drafted the introduction you see above. 66.167.253.184 04:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, should have read this before I updated with NBC's Friday night schedule change. You may wish to revert it back, although Crossing jordan likely nver will air in the Friday at 8 timeslot. Lambertman 22:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Caveats 

message: Well, Studio 60, i think its one of the best new shows... but it might be cancelled bcuz of bad ratings, right? But how is the show gonna get high ratings if they put it up agianst CSI Miami...? Very bad move for a very good show
: I don't understand why everyone seems to think that each network can put every show into a timeslot with no competition. It has to go somewhere, and chances are it's going to face a hit show wherever it goes - especially since Saturdays are dead, and the contract required them to air it at 9 or 10 Monday-Thursday only.

thread_title:  NBC = idiots? 

message: Technically, 2 series will run on MNTV in the fall and 2 in the spring. Should we list them together in the same table or make a note somewhere?--Dleav 12:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It looks like the cancellations and pickups section is well-researched, so I have removed the tag.--Desmond Hobson 22:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Tag removed

message: The section looks plagiarized.
How would it be plagerized? The person made their assumptions about the networks and put it here. Please put it back.
There isn't one reference in this entire section. It seems to be a textbook violation of no original research. Since it will always exist in history, I'm going to remove this section with the expectation that referenced portions will be re-added. SuperMachine 21:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trends and analysis? 

message: Is it just me, or does anyone else find the extensive palette of colors used on this page excessive and distracting? It is hard to keep track of the colors throughout the entire article, and I think we should alter this policy so that we don't confuse readers. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 03:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Colors 

message: I am from Australia, and from this article, am asuming that TV in the USA doesn't broadcast outside of 7:00pm to 11:00pm.  Am I mistaken? 220.240.113.179 01:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other times 

message: 1. What's a season?
Generally, the official television season begins in mid-September and finishes at the end of May. It's during this period when shows air mostly new episodes, especially on the broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, MYTV and The CW.
3. Univision is missing.
Univision and Telemundo can have a separate Spanish section, just as Saturday morning schedules are separate from the primetime ones.  The broadcast network primetime schedules should be restricted to only broadcast networks, not cable ones, for consistency's sake.  If Univision were added to the broadcast lineup, then before you know it, some rinky-dink local station in the Nevada desert will want its lineup displayed too.  The madness needs to be defined before the madness slips into insanity.
5. Saturday morning separation.
Yes, Saturday morning should be separated from primetime and other day and night periods.  Perhaps the main articles should be titled as such:
Television Schedules: Primetime / 
Television Schedules: Saturday Morning / 
Television Schedules: Weekday /
etc.  
6. Celebrity Duets.
It's not officially a fall entry, but it still aired throughout September before the World Series and before the very late starting regular time slot occupants The O.C. and Trading Spouses returned in November.  But it's no longer listed.
7. 2006 and 2007 schedules on the same page?
Yes, I find this annoying too.  Some system should be put in place whereby these lineups are appropriately divided by categories rather than trying to lump everything in one page.  Which is another argument against adding Univision and other cable networks along with broadcast networks on the same schedules.
8. CW Sunday mid-season.
Reba has been added in the follow-up schedules.
11. Fall, Spring and MyNetwork TV.
Seems the MyNetwork TV lineups have been added too.
14. Colors.
Yes, color overkill is very distracting in the schedules.  The fewer the colors used, the more eye-friendly the grids are.  
15. Other times.
The 7-11 p.m. time frame of the schedules is primetime, when most viewers are watching and when competition among the networks is at its most intense, as it always has been.  TV in America does air before 7 and after 11 p.m. but daytime and late-night programming is generally comprised of talk shows and soaps aimed at women, kids' shows or, on weekends, all kinds of sports events. In fact, TV airs 24 hours a day 7 days a week in the U.S., but primetime is where all the ratings action is with first-run high-profile comedies, dramas, specials and other types of weekly series.

message: It would be helpful if:
# Key info (like what the various colours indicate) appeared at the top of the grids.
# The intro explained a bit about US TV - and in particular that this is only showing the Prime Time programmes, as the arrangement seems very unusual to me and I think most people from outside the US. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.70.37.180 (talk) 12:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Top 20 shows for the 2006-07 television season 

message: Am I the only person who see the problem with the following? From the "Cancellations and Pickups" section it will say the following: 
The Class- Announced on May 16, 2007 that it was not renewed for another season.
and then about four or five "page downs" later:
The Class has been extended to 19 episodes.
It is confusing since (at least I) expected the article to be organized somewhat chronologically. The article mixes and matches information about what was picked up/not picked up to complete the 2006-07 season and what was picked up/not picked up for the following 2007-08 season. It is an  disorganized mess.
