TV executives explain the shakeup of fall shows
"Last Man Standing" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" will get new homes this fall.

\"Lethal Weapon,\" which is based on the characters from the successful movie franchise starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, will shift to Tuesdays at 9 p.m. in the fall.

\"Brooklyn Nine-Nine\"
A day after Fox announced it was cancelling \"Brooklyn Nine-Nine\" on Thursday, NBC swooped in to save the beloved comedy for a sixth season.
Earlier Monday, Fox executives spoke about their reasoning behind the cancellation.
\"It was based on a variety of factors,\" Dana Walden, the CEO of Fox Television Group, said. \"We love this show, those are great creators, it’s a phenomenal cast. We ordered it throughout five seasons. It’s a great length of time for a single-camera comedy. Ultimately, we felt like we didn’t have the exact right place to schedule it this year.\"
After adding football to Thursday nights and wanting to prioritize Emmy-winning \"Bob's Burgers,\" Walden said the network couldn't find a place for \"Nine-Nine.\"
\"We’re really happy that it's found a new home,\" Walden added.
Meanwhile, NBC was happy to have the show's creators and star return to the network.
\"[Creators] Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and [star] Andy Samberg grew up on NBC, and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up,\" Robert Greenblatt, the chair of NBC Entertainment, said last week. \"I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the 'Nine-Nine!'\"

\"Last Man Standing\"
Fox's Walden acknowledged that ABC's success with its \"Roseanne\" reboot was one reason the network considered bringing back \"Last Man Standing.\"
\"Obviously I think everyone took a good hard look at the performance of Roseanne,\" Walden said. \"It did so well and it certainly did remind us that we have a huge iconic comedy star in our Fox family in Tim Allen.\"
Walden noted that Fox had been talking to Allen about bringing the show to the network even before \"Roseanne\" returned.
\"We always wondered how it would do if it was given a better opportunity and prioritized more in terms of a network’s agenda. We were emboldened by 'Roseanne,'\" she said.
\"Tim’s personal politics are not a big feature of the show and if you were to talk to Tim he would say, '[his character] is a centrist and the show never delved deeply into politics,'\" Gary Newman, Fox Television's other CEO, said when asked whether Allen's conservative, pro-Trump leanings were considered a plus for the Fox network.
\"We think it's a funny show and the audience responded to it,\" Newman added.
Allen thanked the audience for their support after teasing the news in an earlier tweet.
Thanks to all you guys for the support.

We are back!
A strong wind just filled our main sail.

The show will return for a seventh season in the same 8 p.m. slot on Friday nights.
