This schedule change comes after a disappointing performance last night, when the show only managed to keep 7.8 million of the 13.6mil of its lead-in, THE BIG BANG THEORY. Starting October 20, GENTLEMAN's slot will be filled by RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, now in its sixth season.
It is unclear whether or not this is a move to try to save the show, or a step towards getting rid of it. Thursday night is prime comedy night, so the show losing its slot there is not a good sign of the network's confidence level. However, there is less competition on Saturday nights (read: none), so maybe CBS is trying to give it a shot. After all, if they wanted to cancel it, why wouldn't they just do it? I remain ambivalently puzzled until further news (because the show is terrible anyway).
