Why was Lexx moved to Mondays?

That’s what I’m thinking. More people in general are home on Monday nights than on Fridays, when a huge chunk of the potential audience is going to be out doing “weekend” things. Not as many people go out and do things on Mondays, since they’re settling in after the weekend, maybe have jobs to go to in the mornings. It’s in the 10pm slot, where there is a lack of significant network programming (except for news and magazine programs), so they’re set for maximum rating potential in the long run. Plus, they’ve got a bunch of new shows, and it’s best to put the new ones in a time slot where they can build up a small but loyal audience (yet keeping one “name” show in the lineup to attract the audience), and move the established shows to a night where more people will be able to tune in (thus generating more advertising revenue for the channel).
