The move to Tuesdays hasn’t proven itself the most lucrative for ABC hit comedy, ‘Black-ish’ (Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross).  Airing on Wednesdays for seasons 1-3, the show’s quaternary season premiere (October 3) saw it relocated to Tuesday nights and pitted up against ratings titans ‘This Is Us’ (NBC) and ‘Bull’ (CBS).

It’s finally showtime for ABC’s ‘American Idol’ revival.

Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Country star Luke Bryan commenced filming for the talent-search in New York City yesterday. And now the first snap of them together has been released. They were joined by returning host Ryan Seacrest.

A lot has been made about the reboot (good and bad), but we’re willing to give it a chance. Are you?

Fast-forward nearly 10 years later, the execs at MTV thought now – a time where on-demand media consumption is at its highest – to be the best time to revamp and reboot the show (click here to see performances and highlights).
