Here on the East Coast tonight, the NFC Championship Game, which aired on Fox, featured one of the best comeback wins NFL postseason history. The game also went into overtime, but fortunately it wasn't a long overtime, and that the Seahawks came from behind to beat the Packers in dramatic fashion.
However Fox, at least in the Eastern and Central time zones, decided to air the sitcom Mulaney while already in progress and joined the show in progress at about 7:06-7:07 PM EST (6:06-6:07 PM CST) 6-7 minutes after the show began. The network showed a shorter intro for the sitcom featuring a slide of John Mulaney performing on stage followed by the show's opening credits, then going back to the same slide of Mulaney with a voiceover guy saying "Due to the length of today's game, we now join our program already in progress", then followed by tonight's episode. Fox has conducted the practice of joining shows in progress after games many times in the past, but not lately. While the rest of the network's lineup of shows were all repeats, tonight's episode of Mulaney was a new episode.
The show was recently cancelled by Fox and Fox is airing the remaining episodes. Usually, when it comes to airing new episodes of its Sunday night lineup after the football games go longer than normal, Fox airs each show in its entirety, that it throws off the network's schedule, and that the local news doesn't begin until about 10:15 PM instead of 10:00 PM (9:15 PM instead of 9:00 PM Central Time). Although now cancelled, at least Fox could've still showed tonight's episode of Mulaney in its entirety. Not everyone has access to a DVR, On Demand, the Internet, or streaming services like Hulu.
