I'm worried Angel will have terrible ratings now that it's on Sundays, up against all the crappy made-for-tv melodramas (or terrible special fx laden mini series), ESPN Sunday Night Football and other programs. Fortunately "Space: The Imagination Station" airs Angel on Thursdays (I doubt they'll change this) so no worries here; just worried about overall ratings in the States.

I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure The WB is well aware that they're putting Angel in a bad place. If the ratings drop sharply this season, they'll probably just go, "Well, that was dumb of us."
Actually, though, I think The WB may have a pretty good thing going on Sundays. I mean, I actually plan to watch three hours of WB that night--maybe even four if Everwood turns out to be as bad as Emily VanCamp's last gig. That's at least as much as I'll be watching the entire rest of the week put together. So that could be a good sign if I'm at all normal.

I wouldn't get too worried. Fox gets boffo ratings for baseball playoffs (usually) and I wouldn't be surprised to see Firefly pre-empted in the future this season due to baseball; hey, as long as some team is beating the Yankees that's okay with me.

The affiliate I get (from Rochester) is airing Firefly/John Doe this week.

BTW, I'm from Manitoba so "Howdy!" from a fellow Canuck.

I'm not sure if the show will be preempted for the baseball playoffs or not. I know episode 3 will air. If there are a few preemptions coming after that, that could be why Joss moved his episode up to third.

FF will get preempted next week for baseball for sure because Fox is carrying the game nationally. What I can't tell is if it will get hurt this week because of the yankees/angels game which is on at 7:00pm EST and, I assume, will be carried in New York and LA (where it should just push back the start). Not that NY and LA are significant markets or anything.

Ah. I didn't realize it was being preempted here (NY). That basically makes the rating for this one irrelevant, and makes me wonder why they would air what is likely one of the stronger episodes when no one can see it.
