MLB Playoff schedule: It won't impact Dollhouse much

There are a variety of possibilities for the first round of the playoffs, but none of them involve FOX since the divisional rounds are all on TBS this year.  FOX does get both the ALCS and the World Series, but only the first game of the ALCS is scheduled for a Friday, on October 16. That will likely preempt FOX's Friday night schedule on 10/16, including Dollhouse. But that's the only Friday FOX has to worry about during the baseball playoffs and World Series, so there's not much impact to Dollhouse due to schedule conflicts.

But will Dollhouse return on 10/23?  We'll see.

Here are the details  via MLB on the scheduling.  The first round still very much up in the air for several factors (including a Detroit vs. Minnesota one game playoff that can't be played until tomorrow due to tonight's Monday Night Football), but The League Championship and World Series dates are already locked in.

NOTE: In the Division Series, the New York Yankees will host the AL Central Champion (winner of the Tuesday, Oct. 6th DET @ MIN tie-breaker), while the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will host the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees have clinched the best record in the American League and thus have the right to decide whether they will play in the seven-day or eight-day Division Series (i.e., whether it will start its Division Series on Wednesday, Oct. 7th or Thursday, Oct. 8th). The Yankees must make their selection no later than one hour following the completion of the DET @ MIN tie-breaker.

If the New York Yankees select the eight-day ALDS (beginning Wednesday):
