ALCS to bump programming??
Last year when the ALCS was the Yankees vs. Red Sox, I remember a bunch of Thursday shows got bumped (I think friends was switched with a rerun at the last minute and coupling was replaced with a rerun of whoopi, or something like that).
With the Sox stretching the series out to game 7 tonight, will other networks alter programming again? Will Lost compete with game7 of a Sox/Yankees ALCS?

You would hope they'd have enough sense to run from this game. Hell, I thought they'd run from last night's game. This is building to be one of the greatest series in baseball history; bring on the Whoopi repeats!

It would be nice if the programming got bumped since my DVR can only accomplish two things at a time. If the networks are making a change they haven't said a peep about it yet.

I'm checking zap2it and thefutoncritic periodically to see if there will be any bumping.

I'm sure there's about 50 million fans that would disagree.

I did see that - I thought maybe I was a player in the Temporal Cold War. Then I went to futon, and I was suddenly back in the present.

Well, I don't watch anything on NBC on Wednesdays, nor on CBS (well, except CSI:NY - but only if I'm folding clothes), so I only would wonder about "Lost" on ABC. I'm pretty sure the WB will show "Smallville" and "The Mountain", and UPN will show "Kevin Hill", so I'm good.

Sweet, now I don't have any DVR issues since CSI:NY has been bumped.

I was hoping the NBC stuff would get bumped. It's a crowded night. Lost, Smallville, West Wing Finale and Premiere, and the ALCS. Maybe its an omen to not give The West Wing one more chance.

Post again when you see the overnights for this game.
I am not saying there isn't. But when you see the overnights for the Yankee/Sox game, you'll understand why all networks preempted their regular programming.

With another Game 7 tonight, will we be seeing CBS pre-empt again?

I don't think the world stopped for the ever so important sox/yankee game. The overnight ratings for the sox/yankee game are bound to be strong, it would be stupid to say it wont. Game 6 brought in something around an 18.3 household rating. That is strong figures. The strongest figures for a nondecisive League Championship Series game in 13 years. But you have to factor in that this is because it's the Yankees vs the Red Sox. You have a lot of blood and history behind it and the way you make it out to sound, everyone loves baseball is silly. No, everyone loves a fued. You really have to be crazy to think that there is a blanket love for baseball across the U.S. or atleast not be able to admit that there is a large group that dislikes or couldn't give a shit about the game or baseball in general.
That's TracerBullet's point. That even though there is a large crowd that loves the sport, there is an equal number of those who dislike the sport and they have a just opinion to not enjoy this time of year because fox puts Baseball on over regular schedule programing. That is there opinion. You can
all you want, it wont make you right when it's someone's Opinion.I doubt that the Card/Astro game 7 will cause any worry. The whole point of why the yank/sox game was so big was because the sox have that curse over its head and they forced a game 7 when they started out 3-0 against the yankees. Hell, even the folks in the sports thread don't care about the Card/Astros game enough with the ranging comments they made about not posting in the days MLB thread. I'm confident that CBS will be showing new Survivor and CSI.

I noticed that CBS chickened out at the last second.
I'll never understand why people get upset about this. It is one or days where programming gets bumped. There are a fixed number of episodes for every series so it is not like you are actually missing something. This is different situation than how FOX mishandled Futurama.

But considering that is the only station that I know of NOT showing it's programing because of sports, I think it's safe to say that the other networks felt confident enough with their program to show up.
