CBS replaced Murphy's time slot with a new show
Please quit covering this up.68.47.64.121 (talk) 14:03, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
- Even found the website for Fam showing it airing on Murphy's time slot.[1] This fact is relevant, as it concern's Murphy's airtime68.47.64.121 (talk) 14:41, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
- I would be open to including this if there was a source stating the show will not air on CBS for a while. That just says another show is in the former slot but doesn't say the show won't be aired.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:47, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Here's a source saying Murphy won't return for season 12.[2]68.47.64.121 (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
- This is nonsense. Your source above is mis-reporting what its source says, so it's hardly reliable. But this idea that we're covering something up is just absurd. The show was never intended to have anything but a thirteen-episode, closed ended run.[3] There are numerous sources saying CBS will consider the show for renewal cited in the article. So what the hell do you imagine we're covering up? Oh, and CBS isn't replacing the time slot. It's replacing the show in the Thursday 9:30 pm time slot, a very routine thing in this day and age. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 10:48, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
Not mis-reporting. From what you were typing, the LA Times defended the Bustle article. CBS is even advertising Fam on Murphy's time slot.[4]68.47.64.121 (talk) 22:36, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
- No one suggested that they have promoted a new time slot for Murphy Brown. What has been stated by numerous editors here is this: 1. CBS has yet to officially cancel the series. English herself says here [5] that the series has not been canceled and that she is meeting with CBS' chief creative officer on January 7th to discuss the series' future. 2. One series replacing another series is non-notable. As Drmargi has stated, it happens all the time. This is especially true in the case of Murphy Brown when the season was always intended to be limited in its run and to be replaced with a midseason replacement come spring. – BoogerD (talk) 23:07, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
The network itself acknowledged it, starting January 10, 2019.[6] Please provide a source confirming Fam will have a new time slot after midseason.68.47.64.121 (talk) 23:12, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
- Again, no one is arguing that. And, again, it must be pointed out that, that was always the intention. The eleventh season was only ordered for 13 episodes and the season was intended for a limited run that was to end in the fall/winter. If the show did get renwed the earliest it was ever going to come back was the fall of 2019. However, it has not been announced or confirmed by CBS that the series has been cancelled. English, the show's creator and executive producer, even states that reports of that nature are premature. The article will be updated accordingly in the next month or so once the show's status has been confirmed by CBS. – BoogerD (talk) 23:16, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
