FOX is yanking its low-rated (and terrible) I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER from the schedule after Glee returns from hiatus and the network’s 4-sitcom Tuesdays end. The original plan had been for Teenage Daughter to shift in early April to Wednesdays at 9:30PM, following 90-minute American Idols, but instead Idol will run 2-hour episodes on Wednesdays (as it has most of this season).This was pretty much a no-brainer for FOX. The extra half-hour of Idol will probably triple (at least) the rating Teenage Daughter was going to do in that slot, and with Idol‘s own ratings running 30% lower than last year, the network can use the extra inventory in part to compensate advertisers who aren’t getting the bang for the buck they had paid for this season.
