Peter Roth, FOX Entertainment President and man responsible for KOTH's move to Tuesday resigned yesterday.

Doug Herzog, Prez and CEO of Comedy Central is taking his place.

Someone had to take the fall for FOX's poor performance this year. Although they are up in total viewers, all but 2 of their new shows have failed and those 2 aren't doing that great. The specials are keeping FOX's numbers up.

It was rumored Herzog had already made comments about KOTH being a huge mistake and it wasn't ready to move by itself. Other FOX execs are saying the same thing. Who knows, maybe its possible that KOTH will move back.

That's probably a good thing.

I assume you mean That 70s Show and Guiness. I thought the two of them were doing pretty well. Of course, no one is going to argue Cstello and Holding the Baby needed more of a chance.

Hey, maybe they will bring back the Critic!

Or move to Saturday! Uggg.

Actually Brimstone and That 70s. That 70s has picked up a bit since X-Files premiered. Guinness Book isn't technically a new show since it premiered in the summer.

Scary enough, Holding the Baby is coming back in December - and guess where! Tuesdays at 830pm.

Good riddance. :) Does anyone have an address to write to Mr. Herzog to respectfully request KOTH's return to Sunday night?

Thanks, Phil
