Fox Needs to Get Their Act Together

October 20, 2005 · 2 comments

For the past three weeks Fox has dumped airings of The O.C. for a football game, a baseball game, and just tonight for no reason, showing back to back episodes of Reunion. This is a horrible way to treat their best show. And it’s not like they vividly advertise when it will be showing next. They just don’t have any commercials for it, when they would usually have many the week of its airing. If I take the time to sort out my schedule to make time for a Fox show, they better damn well show it. Or at least they need to let me know in advance when the next episode will be aired, arghs.

Are you on the west coast? I just moved here and it was confusing when the baseball game would be over at 5, plenty of time for The O.C. to air, but they’d show reruns or something else instead. But remember, on the east coast the games are much later (some of the games last year lasted past 1 a.m. ET) so the regular Fox shows can’t be shown on the east coast, and therefore they won’t show them on the west coast.

Fox has the exclusive rights to the baseball postseason; they paid in the neighborhood of $2.5 billion for this, so they need to actually show the games!

I miss The O.C. too, but remember – at the end of the last episode they did say “Coming in November…” All their shows will be back when baseball is over (just in time for sweeps).
