New Episodes and Time Slot for 'Rita Rocks'

Sophomore Lifetime comedy Rita Rocks moves to a new Monday-night time slot on October 26.

The sitcom previously aired on Tuesdays, following the new Sherri Shepherd comedy Sherri, but apparently the ratings weren’t so swell.

Maybe Rita Rocks will perform better on Mondays with back-to-back new episodes from 10pm to 11pm ET. Since the second season contains a total of 20 episodes, there are certainly enough installments to go around.

First up at 10pm on October 26 is “Mommy’s Alright, Daddy’s Alright,” featuring guest star Jennifer Elise Cox (10 Items or Less, Lovespring International). She plays Shannon’s teacher Miss Ricker, who tries to convince Rita and Jay to enroll their daughter in another school especially for academically gifted students. Elsewhere, Hallie participates in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer after Rita suggests she try volunteering to lift her mood.

“Vogue” airs next at 10:30pm. Rita regrets arranging a fashion show, thanks to Hallie’s interest in fashion design, after she sees the unusual garment Hallie makes for her walk down the runway. Also, Jay overdoes it when he becomes Shannon’s coach for a cup-stacking competition.

Rita Rocks airs Mondays on Lifetime at 10pm and 10:30pm ET.
