I knew Charlie Brown or some kind of Holiday special would eventually preempt Hank, this is step 2 to the series cancellation.

Pushing Daisies was preempted by DWTS and the CMAs last fall but not Charlie Brown.

This also happened to Pushing Daisies last year, so yes, Hank got a rock.

Oh, I hope Great Pumpkin will get a 3.0 at least and hopefully The Middle will get boost

ABC could run Peanuts specials until Scrubs is ready. Wiki says there are 30 of them.

If The Middle end up improving with this lead-in, ABC will pull Hank from schedule.

Hopefully this will give a bigger lead-in and additional exposure to the remainder of ABC’s Wed comedies…especially “Middle”.

Since when is Hank sophisticated? Or a comedy?

It’s not fair that sophisticated comedy like Hank is being pulled for a cartoon! Now when will they air the episode where Hank opens a pumpkin patch and dresses up in a big pumpkin costume to attract business?

Good. Charlie Brown is always great to watch around the holidays.

I believe that is the night b4 sweeps actually begin… so likely next week’s episode of Hank will be the last one until at least December – fat lady is definitely singing. Guess this gives them an extra week to figure out what to slot Wed @ 8 in November.
