Fox moves "Canterbury's Law" to lower-profile slot

By James Hibberd

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Two weeks after its debut, Fox is moving legal drama "Canterbury's Law" from Monday nights to Friday.

Starting the week of March 24, "Law" will be replaced by repeats of "House" on Mondays.

For its March 10 debut, "Canterbury's" had a 1.7 rating among adults 18 to 49, Fox's lowest-rated premiere ever in the time period. This week, "Canterbury's" was flat.

Fox's midseason scripted dramas, "Canterbury's" and "New Amsterdam," originally were scheduled for Friday, then Fox moved them to a more visible time period when the writers' strike made scripted programming a scarce commodity.

"Amsterdam" has held up better than "Canterbury's," averaging a 2.4, but still has come in fourth place for the hour.
