Schedule Changes: Harper’s, Chopping Block and Sit Down, Shut Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, CBS, FOX, NBC,
Could this be the slow death of a murder mystery? After only three weeks in a high profile time slot, Harper’s Island is getting a new home. (Was it because it was getting slaughtered in the ratings?) The series - which only had 13 episodes to begin with - is now being pushed to Saturdays @ 9:00 effective immediately. Repeats will fill the new Thursday hole for the next two weeks.
Fans of FOX’s Sunday animation lineup will also see a change this weekend. A two-week trial run of Sit Down, Shut Up has earned the comedy an earlier time slot. The freshman program will now air at 7:00 right before a repeat of American Dad. Original episodes of King of the Hill will then take over the 8:30 slot.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s response to the episode here.
Hate being the only one who doesn’t get the joke? So does Kanye West.
On last night’s episode of South Park (which can be seen in its entirety here), the rapper is the only person in the country doesn’t understand the laugher Cartman and Jimmy created. (Q: “Do you like fishsticks?” A: “What are you - a gay fish?”)
Believing the joke is on him, an embarrassed West eventually resorts to murder before finally making peace with the marine life.
