Despite a flurry of midseason launches, scripted programming continues to falter on the networks. From sub-par comedies such as CBS’ The Stones to UPN’s more innovative Game Over, sitcoms remain the Achilles heel of broadcasting. And new dramas haven’t fared any better, whether it be ABC’s Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital or Fox’s Wonderfalls.
Gaining traction against NBC’s Law & Order at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays has proven challenging. Since its March 3 launch, viewership for Kingdom Hospital has dropped by almost 50 percent, to 7 million viewers last week.
