More Top Picks Best Tinted Computer Glasses For Light Sensitivity
player ready...It takes great strength to move a mountain, but the WB is moving freshman drama “The Mountain” to 8 p.m. Sunday nights beginning this week.
The network will shift the critically hailed “Jack & Bobby” to 8 p.m. Wednesdays beginning this week.
” ‘Jack & Bobby’ is a smart family drama with an inherently youthful story line, and that’s been reflected in its consistent retention of teens and female teens out of ‘Charmed,’ ” WB Entertainment President David Janollari says. “By pairing ‘Smallville’ with ‘Jack & Bobby,’ we think we have two powerful shows with dual audience entry points and strong upscale appeal.”
Given a full season pickup almost immediately, “Jack & Bobby” has struggled to hold onto its “Charmed” lead-in, averaging a sub-“Tarzan” 3.23 million viewers. With the stronger “Smallville” as its lead-in, the drama may get a boost.
The WB originally scheduled “The Mountain” for a Thursday night home but slid it back to Wednesdays after Fox announced that drama “The O.C.” would try to stake a claim to Thursdays.
