yeah,but they had that schedule on s1 and s2 and when then they would not air on those days
While that’s true, S1 and S2 are miles apart in terms of ratings and ad buys than S6. It was safer to have a messed up schedule because the viewers came back in droves and the ad buyers saw that. But a messed up schedule like that now (with ratings being what they are) isn’t going to help the network. However, there is historical evidence that leaving OUAT off the air for several months and then bringing it back midseason works for the show–steady ratings at the least. Look at the ratings for the back half of any season after we went to splits.
I don’t think this has anything to do with any sort of final season hurrah. I think we’re getting renewed for a S7 in large part because ABC can’t cancel everything even though the numbers for multiple shows would mean the axe only a few years ago.
I didnt said was last season, bc like i said on a previous post even if the ratings drop a lot in second part, since they are nor airing in jan, they will need another season to end the show, unless they do like Castle have a alternate finale in case the show ends this season, what i said was that in the hypothetical case, if the cast didnt want to renew for a s7 or ABC would like to cancel the show, this interuption from January to March would give ABC chance to make PR of the last episodes during those 2 months,
