So apparently S20 is in the running to fill the post-Superbowl timeslot?

So I've stayed away from that whole S20+ forum (and the spoiler forum obviously, since only go there in the post-winter season downtime before filming of the fall season starts) all together. And I had to block someone on AIM who was a douche and tried throwing little S19 spoilers and said they'd spoil much more with S20 soon, lol. Luckily only potential boot spoiler was the first boot and well, it made me happy to where it gives me more incentive to watch the premiere.

The Mentalist would be a great choice if they decide to switch it with CSI for Thursdays at 9, otherwise I don't see the point hyping a 10PM show. NCIS:LA already has NCIS as a lead-in and I don't think needs the boost. Considering how ASS1 recaptured old fans, having ASS2 after the Super Bowl would make people aware that their old favorites are returning and probably get them to follow the season. ASS1 is like #3 in viewers after Borneo and Australia, right? Personally, I'd love HIMYM to get the slot since it leads Monday nights and could really benefit from a nice boost (especially if it was the 100th episode), but Survivor or The Mentalist would be the best bets for gaining viewers, or TBBT to keep viewers around. It is a misconception that having the first All Stars air after the Super Bowl recaptured old fans. This did cause a large initial increase for the first episode because of viewer carryover much in the same way that Amazing Race has increased viewership on Sundays where there are football overruns. The large increase was extremely short lived and did not carry over to the regular Thursday airings. In fact more people watched the Pearl Islands finale than the All Stars finale. All Stars ended up being the season with the third highest number of viewers principally because of the large increase for the first episode airing after the Super Bowl. However, airing the first episode of the Super Bowl did not accomplish the network's objective of recovering the large number of viewers that stopped watching after the first 2 seasons. So, I don't see how airing the S20 premiere after the Super Bowl will accomplish the goal of bringing back former fans that stopped watching when it didn't work the first time that they tried it. It will be 6 years since people last saw Rupert, Jerri and Colby and most people have gotten over them. With two appearances of Boston Rob on both Survivor and Amazing Race as well as his televised wedding, I'm sure that many CBS viewers have had more than their fill of him.

While I agree with you in general, you forgot to mention that the All Stars reunion show got higher ratings than its own finale(As well as the finale of season seven). Even ignoring this, the word of mouth on the street that old favorites are back again would be enough to inspire at least a tiny boost in the average post premire ratings.

Definitely would be useful if ABC decides to air Lost on Thursdays at 8pm and give the show some actual competition for once.

Well, you could still get that tiny boost without having to schedule the premiere episode right after the Super Bowl. I know that I'm biased because I live on the East Coast but the last time that Survivor followed the Super Bowl, the episode did not start until nearly 11 PM. If Tom Brady had not successfully completed a touchdown in the final minute of play, the game would have gone into overtime and the episode may well not have ended until after 1 AM. I'm sorry, but I enjoy watching the show live and the prospect of possibly having to stay up and watch at some odd hour of the morning when I have to go to work the next day sucks. Survivor is handily winning its time period. In 2003-2004, Survivor was getting beat by the last season of Friends. Like I said, if Survivor was not winning its time period I'd be more willing to put up with the post Super Bowl debut.

Off course the FlashForward premiere beat it but that didn't last and it also lost out to the World Series. It wasn't the first time that Survivor was beat since the Friends finale. Of course, American Idol beats Survivor when it is irregularly scheduled against it.

Which Survivor should we vote for... kind of fucked that they split up the survivor votes so it looks lower.
