I understand that, however if your going to loose those viewers regardless why not pick your battles and air your big program at a time a competitor doesn't have a huge program airing? Thus stealing viewers away from your competitor? No channel is going to be able to maintain the large amount of viewers at all times.
What I'm saying is Monday's have all these huge shows which could all pull in millions of more viewers likely if they aired at different times. Wouldn't in be more advantageous to the television network to increase viewers on different dates then fighting for a smaller amount of viewers on Monday (For example)?
I mean everyone knew T&HM was going to clean house when it aired, why pit Terra Nova directly against it when you know very well you are going to loose a huge amount of viewers?
