Fox to repeat "Good Guys" on Fridays; kills "Past Life" again

Network hopes to inject more life into new action hour "The Good Guys," airing a second run of the Bradley Whitford/Colin Hanks series on Fridays at 9 p.m. over the next two weeks. (The episodes will be a repeat of that previous Monday's show.)

Fox has a lot invested in "The Good Guys," which was given a Friday night slot this fall (where it will air on the night in that 9 p.m. slot). But so far, the show hasn't made much noise -- as the nets continue to struggle with launching scripted fare in the summer.

The "Good Guys" double run means bad things for "Past Life," the Kelli Giddish drama that was originally yanked in February after just three episodes. Fox opted to burn the show's remaining episodes on Frudays at 8 p.m. But now the show has the unfortunate honor of being canceled twice.

Fox will move its "House" repeats to 8 p.m. on Fridays for the next two weeks. "Bones" repeats are scheduled to air on the night at 8 p.m. starting June 25, when "House" repeats move back to 9.
