Kidnapped is being moved to Saturdays

First, NBC tells the producers of Kidnapped to stop production after 13 episodes. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, they've decided to move the serialized drama (otherwise known as "The Best Show Nobody Watched") to Saturdays, where shows go to die. The switch is effective starting October 21.Despite what folks like my brother Rich have speculated, though, Law & Order will not be moving back to it's old Wednesday at 10 slot. NBC has decided to replace Kidnapped with an edition of Dateline. I guess they figure if they're going to come in last place, they might as well do it with a cheap-to-produce show.
Ironically, the move to Saturdays will give me more of an opportunity to see the show. Now that I know it's going to be wrapped up in 13 episodes, I'm actually interested in seeing how the story plays out. Maybe that's what NBC should have done with the show in the first place: air 13 episodes over the summer. It would have probably been a pretty decent hit in that format.
