Don't miss tomorrows episode "Salvage & Reclamation"

THR got a chance to sit down with Fox's president of entertainment Kevin Reilly and get an inside look at what the fate of some of this seasons shows might be, of course we are most interested in what was said about Human Target.

Reilly: Unfortunately, our launch got all dumbed up on that. We started by getting screwed on the big football lead-in we were supposed to have on the launch night, then we had to double play it, and then the president bumped us from the time period. It was really all over the place the first four weeks. I keep hearing people say they like it, and I have my hunches that it's settling at 8 and is going to get hit by daylight-savings time, so I don't think the story is going to be in the numbers. But by the end of that run, we may end up with the perception that this is kind of an overperformer. I've believed from the get-go that there's something there, so that's a show I'd like to bring back next year.

While having strong suporters at network level is always a major plus for a shows fate. In the end it always comes down to the numbers. The real test will be in how the numbers hold up after the two week break. Will fans return or has something else sparked their attention?

Though Target appeared to hold its own against shows like NBC's Mercy, the numbers were down 25% from last weeks 3.2. A stunning drop considering the Idol lead in and abundant advertising that promised an action packed show. This is definitely time for fans to start making a buzz about the show.

If you are a fan of ABC's Lost you have been biting your fingers with fear that The President would preempt the series premiere episode with his State of the Union Address. Well the President decided that it might not be wise to create, " a scenario in which millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in "Lost" are preempted by the president" ...but the date he did pick was no better for fans of Human Target and Idol.

The State of the Union has now been scheduled for Wednesday January 27th. But have no fear, Fox decided to move "Embassy Row" the third episode of Human Target a day earlier where it will now air at 9 / 8 central on the 26th. American Idol will slide into the Target slot on Wednesday allowing for the President to take the 9pm time slot.

(If you are in Canada, please try Human Target on CTV)

Or If you'd rather see it on your tv, be sure to catch it when it is re-aired Tuesday night at 9pm.

The next episode, Rewind, will air after Idol Wednesday the 20th at nine. But don't get to used to the timeslot, starting the 27th with Embassy Row, Target will be sliding into the 8pm slot Wednesday nights.

Be sure to catch Mark Valley on "Lopez Tonight" at 11pm tonight. Valley will be talking about his military career and how he got his start in acting. And George has been digging into Human Target history with some shocking photos of Rick Springfield the previous star of Human Target circa 1990.

Human Target held its own against the Golden Globes and 60 minutes. Starting off at 8 pm with 2.7 rating in ages 18-49 it gained at the half hour to 3.1. Though less than the numbers Fox usually brings in on their Sunday comedy hour, the numbers still look hopeful for the fledgling show.

Critics appeared to be mixed. Newsday gave the show rave reviews, while The New York Times declares them, "an A team in a B series." The Hollywood Reporter gave a mixed review saying, "Valley brings a cool confidence to the part and a willingness to throw himself into as many physical fights as the story requires. He has a quiet intensity that works well in many scenes, but one keeps hoping he will have the opportunity to lighten up at times. It doesn't happen in the first two outings (the Sunday pilot and the time-period premiere on Wednesday)."

If you missed the premiere, or just need to see it again, Fox will be re-airing it on Tuesday night at 9pm.
