Wait.. What was that?

Yes you did. I was expecting them to join something in progress. Like anyone really would've cared if the "War At Home" was cut in half.
 
I was pissed. I was at a friend's house watching the WWE pay-per-view show. I was pissed when I came home and found that about 1/3 of "Family Guy" didn't record. SON OF A B----!!
 
Fox can't win for trying, can it?

I guess there won't be much point in watching my tapes of Simpsons and FG from last night, then, will there?

I should learn to just start a tape going at 7:30 and let it run until 10:30, I suppose.

Interestingly, last night's announced Fox schedule on the East Coast had "The OT" from "7:30" until the start of the Simpsons at 8, so at least they weren't going to give us a shredded episode of King of the Hill. That's OK...until you get into massive overtime, as apparently happened with the Giants game.

At least we know the Simpsons episode will show up in rerun after rerun someday...<P ID="signature">______________

Due to an overtime game; I think orig. it was to be The O.C from 7-8 followed by brand new Simpsons, etc.; but they had to slide programming...Matt Groening
may have been disappointed that Simpsons started 15 minutes late in the East,
but what was Fox supposed to do, abandon the game and have a "Heidi" moment?
I think they would have made it worse by doing a postgame (if they did, it
was very brief...) but yup, they slid their lineup (in the East, Central,
maybe Mountain, too...) last nite<P ID="signature">______________

Silly you. Anyone recording Sunday night primetime programming on a network carrying a 4p/4:15p ET football game should add extra recording time to cover such overruns...they're gonna happen.

At the risk of starting a riot, the last two-to-three episodes of "War" haven't been bad at all. The one Sunday night was easily the funniest episode yet. <P ID="signature">______________
What, you were expecting me to make sense for a change?</P>

The only reason this happened (where FOX's programming started 15 minutes late) is because the game actually went into OT. "The OT" show itself did not run over, as it didn't even air.
