Sweet coincidence of Port-au-Prince!

**WarmNPrickly** , check out Scruffy in the last second or two when everyone’s cheering. I caption him as saying, “Scruffy’ll cheer when he’s on break”.

Historically, how are Thursday nights for viewership of original programming on Comedy Central?

I mostly just watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and I watch those online. I even watch South Park online, when I think to watch it. So, I don’t know what the “primo” spots are in the Comedy Central Programming grid.

I always thought of Wednesdays being Comedy Central’s big night for original programming, but I’m not sure if it’s that South Park is on on Wednesday because Wednesday is Comedy Central’s best night, or the other way around: Wednesday is Comedy Central’s best night because South Park is on on Wednesday.  
Looks like all month they’re doing all Futurama on Thursdays, in hype for the premiere. What has Thursday programming been up until now?

Are Thursdays typically used for shows they have high hopes for?

Do new shows pick up a following when they get a Thursday spot?
