Any agree on moving TUF to Tues/Wed??

So i like the show, im not in love i dont watch it religously, but i think i know why the ratings are so low. At least for me i'm a college student and my weekend starts on Thurs and I dont have time to watch it at 10 on Thursday. I think this may go for a lot of people, but i dunno maybe its just not that good. But i was thinking that maybe if they moved it to Tues or Weds they might get alot more viewers from this demographic..Its a fact that Friday and Sat are least watched T.V days, Im guessing Thursdays gotta be third.

I preferred it when it was on Mondays (or was that Tuesdays?). On Thursday it's going head to head with CBS and NBC- not good for ratings.

Thursday is the #1 tv ratings day. It's more that the show is losing out to higher profile broadcast networks.

I think it was on Mondays, and I liked that too. Not much is usually on Mondays (that I watch anyway) and Mondays are the beginning of the week where I'm not really doing anything. It was nice to know there was something to do on Monday nights.

If you don't you should go pick one up. I don't know how I ever lived without it.

Well I just graduated college, but before that yeah, I missed the show pretty much up until now for the same reasons. I watched it muted at the bar, but obviously not the same. I would like a Tuesday night showing, right at 10pm. That way, I can catch UFC Unleashed, TUF, then switch over and perhaps catch bodogFIGHT at 11pm.

Tuesday nights sounds like a winner. Thursday nights NBC & CBS shows rule. Monday nights you got Monday Night Football & fucking bitch ass RAW. Wedsneday night might even be better for TUF.
