I'm talking about after football/60 Minutes/The Good Wife; not immediately after. I thought it was being shown after The Good Wife, which is the slot of death.
You’re right about the second episode of “Madame Secretary” airing after “The Good Wife.”
I was talking about the premiere last week, when they swapped the shows and positioned “Madame Secretary” right after football to capitalize on the huge lead-in.
My point about “death slots” is, there isn’t one on Sunday night on CBS. Football is the highest rated program in America. People aren’t turning TV sets off after the game — they’re turning the channel from CBS because they don’t like the program after the game, or the program after the program after the game.
The time slot isn’t killing the show — the show is killing the time slot.
