FOX had to go and kill House for a month. A MONTH. A FUCKING MONTH. 28 days. 672 hours. 40320 minutes. 2419200 seconds. The next new episode will be on Tuesday, November 1. NOVEMBER. Okay? November. Why, you ask? Surely they must have some good reason. Maybe one of the actors was sick or injured and that delayed the production of new episodes. Maybe there was some huge technical problem. Nope. Baseball.
Yup, you heard right. From now until the resumption of House, Tuesday nights will be the American League lead up to the World Series. Tomorrow night is the American League Division Series Game 1, between the Yankees and the LA Angels. Well, FUCK THE ANGELS. But more importantly, FUCK THE YANKEES. If the Yankees weren’t so goddamn rich, buying all the players with talent, FOX wouldn’t be all “look at us, we’re NYC’s tv station.” Fuck baseball in general. I’m genuinely sick and tired of athletes getting paid millions of dollars a year to STAND AROUND FOR MOST OF THE GAME. That’s all they do. They stand there and wait for 30 seconds of action per batter. Bullshit. That’s not worth even a quarter of the money that Americans feed into the multibillion-dollar baseball industry.
After tomorrow night, Tuesday nights will be the American League Championship Series, deciding who goes to the World Series. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. They could hold the world series in the grassy quad right outside my dorm window and I still wouldn’t watch it. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. All the network execs care about is ratings. Heaven forbid they program their shows based on quality. If they did that, you can bet your ass they wouldn’t be postponing a pinnacle of sardonic, dramatic, character-rich fiction for the sake of however much money the Yankees are bribing them to air the games. :mad: :mad:
God damn mother fucking shit eating fuckers can eat shit and fucking die. :mad:
Any live sport has better drama than any hour-long show featuring a doctor with unconventional methods and craptastic bedside manners when dealing with his patients.
You’re right about one thing, the Yankoffs do suck though. Go ANGELS!!!
Fox is a business and they make a shitload more money from baseball advertising than they do from your lame fucking TV drama. That and I like baseball.
I also wish that the baseball was on a different channel, but only because I hate the way Fox does baseball. They make the playoffs tough to watch every year.
But- but- how will television survive with one less medical drama on a temporary basis? That only leaves 856 medical shows on the major networks and basic cable!
They changed it this year, but for several years the Simpsons season didn’t start until after the World Series either. I don’t think anyone died.
You all suck. I should have known the thread title would just attract baseball fans. “Oh no! He implied that baseball is something less than the be all and end all of existence! I’d better go in there and tell him I like baseball!” Well, you’ve made your point, crappy as it is. All of literature is character growth. Tell me how exactly baseball qualifies?
Oh, and the google ads can just get fucked in the ear with a rusty pipe. Sideways.
Will they still be showing the same number of new Houses over the course of the season—you’ll just have to wait longer to see them? Or does this actually shorten the TV season?
As noted above, I’ve gotten used to Fox fucking with the schedule dating back to The X-Files. Yeah, it sucks, but I’m happy about it when House is still running new episodes a month after other shows have gone into reruns.
And go Angels!
…Actually, I don’t really care for baseball. I just want the Yankess to lose so the talking heads on WFAN can turn more of their attention to what’s really important…football!!
