Nat Faxon’s teeth are killing Ben and Kate.
“The baseball game is suppose to be on tomorrow, not today.”
Right and wrong.
Today’s game was supposed be finished before primetime, but the rain delay pushed it late.
Tomorrow’s game is in primetime.
It’s on now. I have no idea why FOX delayed it to 8:40.
@Bill, Well they didn’t play baseball at the end so it was pointless to delay their primetime lineup.
“Dream on TSC would be pulling in 0.7s at least on any night.”
Except the nights that it was pulling 0.5s and 0.6s?
Emily Owens was available online for at least a week before the premiere, maybe not the best move.

I’m not exactly sure, but I think the reason is that baseball didn’t go into primetime in anywhere but the East (time zone differences), but Fox wanted the X Factor to start nationally at the same time, which was 8:40/7:40c.
I guess we can call it Emily FLOPwens M.D. pretty bad start, and it looks like Ben & Kate is dying too.
@Chris HOD and Nikita are nothing alike… At all. I can’t even think of a single thing similar about them other than the fact that both shows have relationships between the cast (like any other show…)
And why in the world would they move Nikita to Tuesday? It doesn’t fit with HOD, and you’re just moving it from one death slot to another. I’d rather keep it where it is.
So, I missed the whole thing, but some quick googling is saying that FOX aired a Ben & Kate repeat, started The X Factor at 8:40et/5:40pt and aired most of the episode before abruptly switching to a repeat of The Mindy Project? Do I have that right? Yikes.
FOX said they will replay the entire episode of The X Factor on Tuesday, 23 October.
On the plus side, today was the last daytime MLB playoff game on FOX for at least a decade!
The show’s still going on at CTV here in Canada if people still want to know who made it onto the show
So Flop Factor is going to now preempt previously scheduled comedies next Tues ? Who’s running the show at Fox, a bunch of monkeys ?

Do you actually expect them to be able to control the weather?
@Dan S
When else could they possibly show that episode of The X Factor?
They only available dates on their schedule are Tue 23 October, Fri 26 October and Tue 30 October.
The promos for E.O. look horrible. I’m sorry but Meryl’s daughter is not a good actress. She should think about directing, producing or writing if she wants to work in the industry.
It should be cancelled soon. Other shows that have similar ratings have been on for more than one season.
The Selection is being reshot for The CW. They could replace it with that.
@Ashley
The Selection is being reshot for The CW. They could replace it with that.
The Selection pilot is being reshot for the 2013 pilot season. There’s absolutely no way that it will make it onto the schedule before fall 2013.
@ June “Emily Owens was available online for at least a week before the premiere, maybe not the best move.”
I totally agree. That episode was more than enough to convince those unfortunate to have seen it that this show was unworthy of further consideration.
NBC continues to massacre. How mad is everyone here about it?

ehhh not impressed with emily owens , pilot was meh
Emily Owens will drop again next week, you can book it. NCIS LA will be back, and abc is premiering its comedy block of dont trust and happy endings. I doubt Emily Owens lasts more than 3 or 4 episodes
