ABC to Viewers: No More Friday-Night ‘Kyle XY’ for You!
Alphabet Network Discontinuing Repeats of Basic-Cable Hit
This week brought sad, bad news for fans of the hit sophomore sci-fi drama Kyle XY who have been following the Friday-night replays on ABC because they either don’t have access to the originating basic-cable network ABC Family or don’t live in the United States (for example, Canadians), which forces them to rely on repeats on the more widely available broadcast network. According to TV Week, as of Monday, ABC has officially decided to pull the weekly episodes from the schedule. The reason? The four second-season repeats that have aired to date have consistently drawn some of the lowest ratings of the night, whether ABC scheduled them at 8pm or 9pm EST. I kid you not when I say I’m shocked that this could happen to such a great show.
Tonight only, look for two episodes of the recently canceled sitcom George Lopez at 8pm, followed at 9pm by the hour-long pilot for the new ABC Family dramedy Greek that premiered on Monday. The latter show stars the 23-year-old daughter of Frasier and Cheers veteran Kelsey Grammer, Spencer Grammer, and she is quite good in her role, if I do say so myself (and, of course, I just did).
