What shows DIDN'T premiere when they were supposed to but instead were left back?
Malcolm in The Middle-Originally planned for October 1999 it was later left to premire in January 2000.
Oliver Beene-Supposed to premiere November 2002 but then FOX decided to air it in March as a replacement for (most likely) The Grubbs!

Buffy The Vampire Slayer was supposed to premiere in the fall of 1996, but was pushed back as a mid-season replacement.
"Reba" was supposed to premiere on September 14, 2001, but George Dubbya wanted that to be a special remembrance day for Sept 11, so "Reba" (along with "Maybe It's Me" and "Raising Dad") was pushed to premiere on September 21, 2001. Again, they said that we were "not ready" to laugh again. So they finally put the three shows to premiere on October 5, 2001, and as they say, the rest is history...
Also, I think "Gilligan's Island" was supposed to premiere for fall 1963 or winter/spring '64, because of the JFK assasination, but it premiered in fall 1964.

I remember a lot of shows were pushed back because of Sept. 11.
