ABC has changed its schedule according to its website. Of Kings and Prophets is now slated as 'Coming Soon' whilst Quantico seems to have moved to Sundays at 10, nothing currently has filled the Tuesdays at 10 timeslot. We'll update as we receive more information.
Soo... OUAT - Blood and Oil - Quantico?
ReplyDeleteHm.. we'll see how this pans out.
I don't like this at all
ReplyDeleteI really want this show to do well and I don't think Sundays at 10 is the best time slot for it, especially if Blood and Oil doesn't do well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nirat!
ReplyDeleteSince I have so many shows to watch on Tuesdays and not that much on Sundays, this is perfect for me (and it won't compete against Limitless so that's also a plus). Really hope it works out for Quantico in the long run since it's one of my most anticipated new shows.
No problem :) Same here, Limitless and this are things I really want to do well.
ReplyDeleteWhich timeslot is worse - Tuesdays at 10 or Sundays at 10?
ReplyDeleteI initially wanted Quantico to get the Monday at 10 slot so it can have DWTS as a lead-in but alas it didn't :( It's better than Tuesdays at 10 imo. Anyways, crossing my fingers that this timeslot will do well for them!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Sunday's at 10
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that this will be bad for the show.
ReplyDeleteI really hope they can promote the hell out of the night and make B&O and Quantico both hits. Both are among my TOP 4 most anticipated shows
ReplyDeleteMe too, I was hoping any new show (Quantico especially) really would get a launch out of DWTS. I'm glad its not at Tuesdays at 10 too, everything dies in that timeslot :(
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
I wasn't a fan of the Tuesday time slot, but this looks even worse. Are you trying to kill this ABC?
ReplyDeleteAnd oKaP always seemed like midseason show to me with it's limited order, but i wouldn't be disappointed if they canceled it already, it was their worst drama trailer and from what i read in comments online almost nobody liked it
ReplyDeleteTuesday, I'd say. More pressure on a Tuesday 10pm show to succeed because ABC need one too. And Sundays are known for being lower rated, so it has some room to move.
ReplyDeleteNot sure Blood and Oil is a great lead-in though, albeit better than BaO -> Of Kings and Prophets
Yeah every show has died in that Tuesday slot (ex. Body of Proof, Lucky 7, Killer Women, Mind Games, Forever) so it's really not a good one at all. At least with the Sunday slot, there's a bit more chance for Quantico to succeed.
ReplyDeleteOmg wth is this good or bad I feel like its a bad thing. Ugh I want quantico to do good. What is going to go at Wednesday now.
ReplyDeleteI still think they should have just switch Shield and Quantico
ReplyDeleteQuantico would have better lead-in, and they would finally have show with decent ratings at 10
Yeah both timeslots are where shows go to die :(
ReplyDeleteSometimes good ones too.
Guys the lead actress just answered me on Twitter, it is moving to Sundays at 10!
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/priyankachopra/status/605628719110090752
Yess! ABC needs to start promoting the hell out of the show ASAP so everyone knows about it. I really don't want a 666 Park Avenue situation on our hands again.
ReplyDeleteme too, I really liked that show, that and Last Resort.
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly not against this whatsoever. It's certainly better than what ABC did to the show now.
ReplyDeleteOf Kings and Prophets is better suited as a Lenten miniseries special midseason during the Easter holidays.
ReplyDeleteI still have summer to make my list of all the shows I'm going to watch(most likely 95% of the new shows) so I haven't researched them all yet, but just saw the promo to
ReplyDeleteQuantico! Oh shit me likely. and Priyanka Chopra hot hell yea!
blood and oil must be really good if abc wants it at 9. maybe of kings and prophets won't be ready for fall or abc realized it has no chance to succeed (deadline reported they were already working on 15 scripts before the official pick up).
ReplyDeleteor maybe abc will announce forever is un-canceled and will come back on tuesday at 10 haha
I don't necessarily see this move as a bad thing: Sundays at 10 are dead. A show like "Quantico" has a better chance to make some noise on this timeslot, whatever happens with "Blood and Oil", than against two other new shows (Limitless and Neil Patrick Harris Show)...
ReplyDeleteI think it is better, because let's face it Shield's ratings are really low lately + bigger competition
ReplyDeleteBut even through it is better, it is still not very good slot (but maybe Blood & Oil can become huge hit, who knows and it might be amazing lead in)
i think you're right and i think abc sundays are more consistent that way
ReplyDeleteshield is a bad lead-in : bad ratings and bad compatibility.
big question now : wich show is gonna end up on tuesdays ?
https://twitter.com/BabarSTV/status/605518334314967041
ReplyDeleteSo this is the reason ABC releasded the screeners for all their new shows last night, except OKaP. I was wondering why that was. Maybe it is getting a major retooling or is bad enough that it might get cancelled.
I don't know how I feel about Quantico at Sunday 10, it's an equally bad slot, and wondering what they will put at Tuesdays ay 10, now.
I have the exact same feeling.
ReplyDeleteOh man! From one deathslot to another but I guess Sundays is way better but it needs to be promoted like crazy to suceed.
ReplyDeleteMe too. But Tuesdays at 10 was hardly any better time slot for Quantico.
ReplyDeleteBetter that airing after low-rated AoS.
ReplyDeleteSunday at 10 is lowest competitive hour on TV. It may to be winner for ABC. Once still okay in ratings, Oil may to be their next big sunday soap, and Quantico has great potential.
ReplyDeleteBut AoS' ratings would most likely tumble if it moved to 10.
ReplyDeleteNirat U player. ^_^ ;-)
ReplyDeleteThink this is a smart move and could benefit both BiO and Quantico. Just Shield was the one getting a bit . . . In all the moving.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Whisperers 1B
I hope the shows does good bc it looks promising
ReplyDeleteI think this is smart idea. Secrets and Lies had decent ratings for both Spring and Sunday show in that slot, and Shield was a bad lead-in anyway
ReplyDeleteU've got the Abc screeners! (screaming inside)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the reviews. Did U get Wicked city?
We got all except OKaP. Haven't gotten around to watching them all yet.
ReplyDeleteSecrets and Lies was at 9, not 10.
ReplyDeleteBiO?
ReplyDeleteThe Family is hardly compatible with SHIELD.
Great news! ^_^
ReplyDeleteBlood and Oil, BaO than. I used the serbian word for and not and. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I don't think ABC has a show which is really compatible with . Quantico seemed like a really good fit.
I think they'd stay exactly the same. It gets a younger male demo that wouldn't mind watching it at 10pm.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a horrible move. To me Quantico looks like it will be male skewing so it would've done nicely after the heavily male skewing AOS.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I highly doubt Blood and Oil ( that's what they're calling it now right?) is doing to rate better than AOS.
Sorry, my bad. I thought Revenge was at 9 and S&L at 10. Now I'm not so happy with new timeslot
ReplyDeleteI doubt Blood and Oil is gonna do any better.
ReplyDeleteAOS skews male and Qauntico looks like it will as well. Plus, I doubt Blood and Oil is going to rate better than AOS. I think this is a terrible move.
ReplyDeletenow i m worried
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I'm thinking. This is gonna kill Quantico.
ReplyDeleteIt's not looking good.
ReplyDeleteThis is super weird. I cant really judge the move without knowing what gets tuesdays at 10 but i dont ser anything else pairing well with aos, so I doubt they are able to make a better schedule
ReplyDeleteIt's tricky, I guess it's plausible they'll bring forward Wicked City, which was going to air in that slot at midseason. Or perhaps they've acquired Studio City (though would this even be ready for fall with all the red tape?). Won't be Secrets & Lies, as that would have stayed Sundays if they got it ready in time. The Family, The Catch seem too incompatible with AoS. What else is there?
ReplyDeleteABC must have no faith in Of Kings and Prophets. Plus I think they are scared of Limitless, which stand a lot more chance of succeeding head-to-head. Sundays at 10pm is a difficult slot, but it may work because the competition there is really weak, against CSI Cyber. ABC just needs to promote the hell, and who knows, OUAT, Oil and Quantico might actually work. It certainly looks more promising than having OFAP at Sundays 10pm. Seems like ABC Sundays are getting a major push, since the OUAT-Revenge-666 Park Avenue.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a bad move at the start, but it's getting a SHIELD lead-in of about 1.5, and going against a well led-in and buzzed, and same target demo Limitless on Tuesday. Maybe the expectations of Sundays at 10pm are lesser, where it might be more successful? I do think the Sunday line-up looks a lot more likely to succeed now that OFAP is gone. ABC just has to promote the hell out of the new ABC Sundays. It just might work. ABC apparently has quite a bit of faith in Blood and Oil to put it at such a coveted Sunday 9/8 spot.
ReplyDeleteYour twitter notifications must be going crazy.
ReplyDeleteThey are :) I wasn't expecting an answer but really humbled I got one.
ReplyDeleteLOL. That's the only reason I like this move. It gives me something on Sunday's which I currently don't have much.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is terrible simply because the Tuesday timeslot is awful to begin with. The NPH show is likely to hold up on its own, and Limitless is already threatening to take away live viewers from Quantico, as they are similarly skewing, at least for the first few episodes, which we know are the most crucial. Sundays at 10pm is not much better, but at least it has lesser competition, and lower expectations?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that makes sense to me is a revival of the AOS spinoff, but that seems fairly unlikely. I think they might be putting Secrets and Lies here and just timeshare it with Wicked City although I have no idea why they dont do that on Sundays instead.
ReplyDeleteOther than the stuff you have mentioned they also have American Crime but I cant imagine it airing after AOS. This is super random
ABC better start promoting their Sundays TGIT-style. They are banking both and perhaps their only new fall dramas to work on Sundays. This totally upped the stakes.
ReplyDeleteThat I totally agree with. I forgot about Limitless, which looks to have a similar target audience and will probably be a hit. I just think BaO is going to flop so it will be a horrible lead in for Quantico and I really want Quantico to succeed.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I'm hoping for ABC to promote it like they once did with ABC Sundays "A Little Taste" - OUAT, Revenge and 666 Park Avenue.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really looking forward to a soap, but Blood and Oil's trailer seems to have some good production values. ABC is putting BOTH new dramas on Sundays! They better promote the hell out of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm bummed cause I thought AOS was finally going to be surrounded by some good shows, with a boosted FOTB from the Muppets and Quantico which looks to be a hit. I'm sick of AOS being surrounded by shows getting .8-1.0.
ReplyDeleteQuantico is one of the shows i am looking forward to the most next year but i dont think it will be a hit. This being said, i agree with you since it looked at least compatible with MAOS for a change and it is annoying that ABC cant understand this night needs a flow. But it is really hard to judge without knowing what is coming here instead
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess it depends on what they move there, but looking over the options, I'm not too optimistic.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Quantico too. Why don't you think it will be a hit?
No surprise here.After i saw the trailer of Of Kings and Prophets,i knew it would be a huge flop and apparently so did ABC in due time.
ReplyDeleteNeither of the timeslots screem hit potential to me. I am also affraid that by trying to cater to too many segments of the audience (girl meets boss scenes + big conspiracy scenes) they end up pushing away too many people who dont like one thing or the other. I can be wrong and I wish to be though
ReplyDeleteABC must be either totally miscalculating, or is seeing something amazing in Blood and Oil to give it that 9/8 slot. And I hope they are right, because Blood and Oil's performance will define whether ABC succeeds this fall or not.
ReplyDeleteOKaP: The new "Astronauts Wives Club"
ReplyDeleteI rather Quantico at 9 and BaO at 10. And tues at 10 being Wicked City / Agent Carter / The Whispers (or a 13 eps new show, like The Family).
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible! 10/9c is the death slot! Or need i remind everyone of revenge's ratings?
ReplyDeleteGood for you Nirat!
ReplyDeleteWatch the Forever fans break out their bingo. :P
ReplyDeleteCould ABC be moving SHIElD down to launch something at 9? I can understand why they'd pull Prophets but moving Quantico is puzzling.
Sigh, I thought AoS/Quantico might make a good action-driven, male-skewing pairing. I desperately need something to give AoS a boost next year, I can't stand to see such an incredible show keep getting such weak numbers.
ReplyDeleteQuantico is the show I was most looking forward, too, but I'm afraid it won't do well on Sunday! But on the bright side, this does free up my Tuesday a little.
ReplyDeleteHmm interesting move, im puzzled more about the Tuesday 10pm,maybe Forever gets a sudden renewal or even Studio City enters the scene? OKAP is probably going to be retooled.
ReplyDeleteIs ABC gonna say something about this or jut keep quiet?
ReplyDeleteABC confirmed it look at the fb pages for OKAP and Quantico
ReplyDeleteRadical idea for Tues (fairly certain it won't happen of course!):
ReplyDelete8:00 Muppets
8:30 Galavant
9:00 Fresh Off The Boat
9:30 Real O'Neals
10:00 Agents of SHIELD
This is a good schedule, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to feel about this other than confused what made them change the schedule.
ReplyDeleteyesssssss I didn't really like Kings & Prophets don't know why. Yes 2 of my favs on Sundays. Quantico & OUAT.
ReplyDeleteBye bye Quanitco
ReplyDeleteI think it's a mistake.
ReplyDeleteOne- people are used to soapy drama's on Sunday. This is not a soapy drama. They'll have to do A LOT of promotion to rectify people's thinking.
Two- The Walking Dead/The Talking Dead- the gritty drama with insane ratings and the after show with great ratings. I think the demo is going to go with that combo.
Three- Cable shows on Sunday's prove that viewers love to watch TV on Sunday's. The networks just haven't been able to combat those shows.
Four- Sunday Night Football
I want Quantico to do great. I think it's going to be an amazing show. I don't trust ABC to handle it like they should. With scheduling and promotion.
risky but good schedule. galavant could have worked better if better scheduled.
ReplyDeleteThis is so weird. I wonder if they think Shield's 1.1s won't be a good lead-in for the show. But Sundays at 10 is a terrible timeslot too.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is happening with ABC this year ?! First, they're recasting a lot of roles and now this ?!
ReplyDeleteMoving Quantico out of Tuesdays was a good idea because it was not likely to compete against Limitless. The audience that would have watched it will be watching CBS. However, Sundays at 10 PM is a terrible timeslot. It doesn't fit at all with the lineup and Blood and Oil is not likely to be that much higher of a lead in than S.H.I.E.L.D. With cable and football competition, I really don't see how this show finds an audience.
ReplyDeleteAs for Tuesdays at 10 PM, I think ABC should move Castle there and try out a new show Mondays at 10 PM. However, what is most likely is ABC will either bump up Wicked City or slide S.H.I.E.L.D. back an hour.
What the hell ABC? You have no clue what you want to do on Sundays, huh? How 'bout move Nashville there.
ReplyDeleteBut things can definitely change, I believe. NBC's Thursdays use to be amazing, but look at it now. Lol. Things can change with the right show.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how it's so so bad, as most of you are.
ReplyDeleteIs it generally an unpopular timeslot for ABC? Yeah, but I think it fits the night's programming a bit better...
I hope it is. They need something other than what they've had the past few years. I just don't have faith they'll promote it like they should. People used to their soapy Sunday lineup won't see how different Quantico is. Even Oil is a more dramatized version of Dallas.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I definitely agree. I want this show to succeed, and ABC has to put in that work, which I think they will.. The lead actress was someone they gave a very good talent contract to, and gave her, what they believed to be, their best pilot. Hopefully everything will work out. With this time slot, if it does even reasonable, it'll be renewed... Lol.
ReplyDeleteApparently it looks like Abc hasn't learned its lesson about sticking new show in that horrible timeslot.
ReplyDeleteSundays at 10 it's a hard time for any network but ABC hasnt found it's foot yet on that time. I have hopes Quantico will do good there. Now Cancel Kings and Propohets and green lights Kingmakers (let me dream people xD)
ReplyDeleteSure its the lowest competitive hour but its also a low viewed timeslot. So far whatever Abc has put on there has been canceled.
ReplyDeleteOut of all of the new shows on Abc I found that Quantico, was the one that had the most potential. Its a shame that that it now won't succeed cause Abc has now given it a death sentence by putting it in a horrible timeslot.
ReplyDeleteCan any show succeed at Sundays 10pm besides The Talking Dead? In hindsight I think ABC should have kept GCB on.
ReplyDeleteIts at least is compatible with Shield. Its not compatible at all with the Sunday lineup.
ReplyDeleteYou may be right. I still think Marvel might object to such a move, though, because other than the Netflix shows they're trying to market all of their projects as "family-friendly". And shows in that category don't air at 10.
ReplyDeletehttp://t.co/6rOqWN1dNb
ReplyDelete@Nirat Anop here is a confirmation on TVLine saying Of Kings and Prophets will undergo retooling!
Oh yeah just because Kings and prophets sucks, quantico has to suffer?! Whoever made this decision must have fallen down the Stairs and bumped his head
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/TVMoJoe/status/605785360849715201
ReplyDeleteI really don't think this is such a bad idea. ABC even though sometimes clueless usually schedules very well. They certainly have their reasons and Sundays 10 pm really isn't a competitive time slot ( CSI Cyber and what football on NBC? ).
ReplyDeleteI'm really intrigued to see what will drop into that Tuesday slot.
Cheers for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to watch this after AOS. Plus I don't watch new episodes of a show on the weekend. This is a bummer
ReplyDeleteNot sure this is any better than the old timeslot but I wish it well. I am really looking forward to this show.
ReplyDeleteIt might actually be better too. Both slots are horrible for ABC, or maybe ABC just haven't found the right show too. Many shows on ABC failed on Wednesdays 10pm too until Revenge and to a lesser extent Nashville. Pan Am had a huge sample at the start.
ReplyDelete
