    I remember waiting for football games to end on Fox so I could watch Futurama. “Whenever the game is finished” is not a good time slot.

      Generally that’s correct, but specifically the slot after the Super Bowl is seen as a prime time because it has the largest lead-in show of the year. Most of the time the networks use it to show off a program they feel is strong and want to get to a wider audience than might otherwise tune in. I think Fox was pretty successful doing that with The Masked Singer a few years ago.
