After the first season, Fox moved showings of "The Simpsons" from Sundays to Thursday so that more people would see it. It was to be shown on 8:00 PM, which started competition with "The Cosby Show". Producers of "The Simpsons" thought that the competition would make their ratings lower. In the summer of 1990, many news companies made stories about the competition. In this time, NBC had 208 television stations. Fox only had 133.
