OK, you just said that the people at CBS ARE, in fact, aware of this,
just the opposite of what you said previously

this is just plain silly
here's a hint
Networks want all shows to be a hit
"good" timeslots are a limitted resource
so they put the shows they think have the best chance of success in the
best
of the timeslots
JoA wound up on Fri because that is where it fell in order of
likelyhood of being a hit<which it was for a while>
the only problem was, not enough people watched JoA
compare NUMB3RS, relegetted to Fri 10PM - the absolute 'graveyard' of
network TV, but it has done well and will continue untill its "numbers"
fall
