CBS lineup Thu 10/16 - possible reruns

Responding to what will no doubt be boffo Yanks/Sox ratings on FOX tonight....

CBS has shelved the planned all new episode of Without a Trace tonight at 10. Showing a repeat episode instead.

No official word on CSI, but given that they are not giving any episode or plot detail on their website, my guess is that CSI will be a repeat as well.

Looks like Survivor will still be an all-new episode.

You wouldn't really change Survivor because it's scheduled for the final episodes to be during sweeps, no? That, and the game will just be finishing the second inning by the time it's over...

Yeah - I don't expect them to fiddle with Survivor here because of those reasons - they don't have wiggle room for it. Plus it has a strong female demo so baseball won't terribly hurt it.

UPDATED: 8:39 a.m. PDT October 16, 2003

LOS ANGELES -- NBC's original "Must See Thursday" lineup will not be seen tonight due to a network decision.

NBC made the decision Wednesday morning to change its Wednesday night programming lineup. A new "West Wing" program was preempted and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" was scheduled in its place. Also, a new "Law & Order" episode was replaced by the 300th episode, which originally aired in May 2003.

The NBC network has also announced it will air encore episodes of your favorite NBC shows Thursday night. The lineup consists of:

8 p.m.: "Friends" 8:30 p.m.: Scrubs" 9 p.m.: "Will & Grace" 9:30 p.m.: "Whoopi" 10 p.m.: "E.R."

Watch NBC4 and refresh NBC4.TV for additional updates and information.

NBC Thursday Lineup "Strikes Out" for Game 7 of the Playoffs

Just visited NBC.com and saw that Friends, Scrubs, Will & Grace & ER will be reruns tonight.

Friends: THE ONE WITH ROSS'S INAPPROPRIATE SONG

TALE OF THE TAPE KNOCKS OUT CHANDLER -- When an insecure Chandler (Matttew Perry) drags Joey (Matt LeBlanc) along with him to secretly inspect an apartment put up for sale by his former romantic rival, Richard, the pair are aghast to discover an old videotape that possibly showcases Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) in compromising positions. Elsewhere, Ross (David Schwimmer) accidentally discovers that singing the suggestive lyrics to "Baby Got Back" is the only way to get baby Emma to sleep but fears telling Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) self-destructs when she tries to make a good impression at a dinner party hosted by the huffy parents of her new boyfriend Mike (guest star Paul Rudd, "The Cider House Rules"). TV-14

Scrubs: MY BIG BROTHER
8:32pm 2003-10-16
TOM CAVANAGH GUEST STARS IN A SPECIAL HALLOWEEN EPISODE -- J.D. (Zach Braff) gets a surprise visit from his ne'er-do-well brother Dan (guest star Tom Cavanagh, NBC's "Ed"), and becomes jealous when he and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) hit it off. Meanwhile, Turk (Donald Faison) feels guilty after betting Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) $20 that surgery would save a patient's life. Judy Reyes, Neil Flynn and Ken Jenkins also star. TV-14


Will & Grace: WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST
9pm 2003-10-16

TV-14

ER: THE ADVOCATE
9:59pm 2003-10-16
CAN DR. WEAVER FIND HER WAY OUT OF A DEEP ETHICAL WORMHOLE? -- Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) finds herself in a deep hole when she bends the rules to treat the syphilitic lover of her powerful new patron -- Alderman Bright (guest star Bruce Weitz, "Hill Street Blues") -- but when the patient has a severe allergic reaction, she desperately tries to cover her tracks and compromises her ethics even further. In the meantime, Weaver's career continues to get a boost at the expense of a stubborn Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane) and Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) and Abby (Maura Tierney) reassess their relationship. Elsewhere: Dr. Kovac (Goran Visnjic) ruminates aloud on his star-crossed career path while he ministers to a rebellious teenaged girl who claims she was sexually abused at a boot camp for wayward youths, and Carter cares for a nasty middle-aged woman who's slowly being poisoned. Alex Kingston, Ming-Na, Sherry Stringfield and Sharif Atkins also star. TV-14

Good job noticing your error! You can "edit" your first post, and choose to delete it, which will remove this thread if you want.

2 points for thread title.

We both posted this at the exact same minute! But yours has more info. Just ask a mod to merge the 2 together. No reason to delete.

Mr. Payroll:

There already is an NBC specific thread, with the replaced show guide data in it. It doesn't have to be merged with the CBS Thread:

NBC - http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=324185
CBS - http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=324217

I doubt it, it will still be going up against game 7! But I hope that I'm wrong!

I probably am wrong, since Zap2it still is listing this on their front page:


CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
09:00 PM - CBS
Xander Berkeley, formerly of "24," has been getting a lot of work recently. He was on Wednesday's episode of "Karen Sisco," and now he's guest-starring as the new Vegas sheriff on tonight's "CSI." After a key piece of evidence in a murder trial is thrown out on a technicality, Sheriff Atwater (Berkeley) tries to scapegoat Warrick (Gary Dourdan) for the courtroom fiasco. Thankfully, the judge gives the CSI team a 24-hour (how appropriate) continuance to process some of the "unprocessed" evidence. The investigation, however, makes the team wonder if the guy on trial is really guilty after all.

More than likely they'll be hoping that the folks will only tune into the end of the game... and keep Survivor and CSI as counter-programming to the game.

Nope, according to TV Guide Online, CSI is a repeat!

http://www.tvguide.com/news/entertainment/

MUST-FLEE TV: Due to tonight's final game of the American League Championship Series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, NBC has decided to scrap original episodes of Friends, Scrubs, Will & Grace and ER in favor of repeats.

Ditto for CBS, which is going with repeats of CSI and Without a Trace. (An original Survivor will air as planned.) Last night, NBC pulled a fast one on viewers when it swapped in second-run Law & Orders in place of original programming. In related news, go Yan..., er, team! Go team!

Without a Trace is also a repeat (it has that annoying girl, Heather Donohue from The Blair Witch Project as the missing person)

The sucky thing is my DirecTivo taped these anyway (still had the old info).

Will this cause problems later when these episodes actually air? I know Tivo won't usually record the same episode.
