Friday night death slot
The "Friday night death slot" is a perceived graveyard slot in American television. It implies that a television program in the United States scheduled on Friday evenings (typically, between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. ET) is destined for cancellation.
The term possibly began as a reflection of certain shows' dominance of Friday night in the 1980s and 1990s, which condemned to death any television show scheduled opposite those programs.〔Katherine Phillips. "Witty sitcoms scheduled in Friday night death slot," ''Richmond Times-Dispatch'', March 28, 1986, page 46: ''"ABC is sending two of this season's brightest new sitcoms to certain death at the hands of J.R. Ewing and his ''Dallas'' clan."''〕〔John Voorhees. "ABC reshuffles schedule for ratings but deals only two new shows," ''The Seattle Times'', December 13, 1985, page C5: "''Also being dropped is ''Our Family Honor,'' the ABC series that has had the distinction of being the lowest-rated Nielsen show almost every week since its debut. It is in the Friday night death slot of 10 pm, against ''Miami Vice'' and ''Falcon Crest.'〕〔Knight-Ridder News Service. 'Family Honor' ditched for 'Spenser', ''Lexington Herald-Leader'' (KY), October 19, 1985, page C6: ''"''Spenser: For Hire,'' the above-par detective series starring Robert Urich, is being moved out of the Friday-night death slot opposite ''Miami Vice'' and ''Falcon Crest.'' ... To make room for "Spenser," ABC is taking "Our Family Honor" off the air (), at least for a while and perhaps permanently.''〕 Today, it reflects the belief that young, single Americans rarely watch television on Friday or Saturday nights, thereby removing from the household the most lucrative demographic for advertisers.〔(News: Election 2006 ), ''The Austin Chronicle''〕
