ABC says Boston Legal isn't good enough for sweeps
Here's a little addendum to this post: ABC is pushing the season finale of Boston Legal out of the May sweeps period.
The episode was supposed to run on May 22, but ABC has instead decided to squeeze one more "very special episode" of The Bachelor titled "After The Final Rose." This means that the season finale of Boston Legal won't air until the following Tuesday, May 29, at 10pm.
Ouch. Not only is the show being interrupted for a reality show, it's being interrupted by an episode of a reality show that was just thought of, an additional episode after the finale. What's up with that?
If anyone doubts that some networks put reality shows above scripted shows, this should put that to rest.
