Line 83:
** Sunday morning was also where Mattel bought Nick time as if it was an [[Infomercial]] to air full-length [[Barbie]] movies to entice kids to beg their parents to buy the film on DVD two days later.
*** The original Nicktoons block, with [[Doug]], [[Rugrats]] and [[The Ren and Stimpy Show]] was scheduled on Sunday mornings.
** ''[[iCarly]]'' provides an example of using Friday, when it aired most of the second half of Season 3 in that slot. Its popularity made it an aversion with high ratings. There was one minor failure though. You remember how at the top they explain how the movie studios don't want any competition for Friday? Nick forgot that a certain movie named ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' came out that day. They still got 5 million though.
* ''[[Fringe]]'' ([[FOX]]) was bumped to Friday nights in its third season, after Christmas 2010 to make way for ''[[American Idol]]''. To the surprise of some people, it was still renewed for a full season afterwards.
** Despite very low ratings in the fourth season, it still was renewed for a 13-episode fifth and final season, to the surprise of almost everyone.
