WPIX CW11 2-2:30 am Tues-Sat Stripping of The Odd Couple - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anybody know what happened with last nights episode "Felix Gets Sick"? There was a thighmaster infomercial on instead, and then The Jeffersons came on at 2:30 am as scheduled.

I checked ZAP2it and it still shows The Odd Couple at 2 am. The CW11 website schedule (a download of ZAP2it) still shows The Odd Couple.

Does this sort of unscheduled pre-emption occur often with CW11?

WPIX replaced last night's The Odd Couple with yet another infomercial (a get rich quick via real estate one). Although ZAP2it still shows The Odd Couple at 2 am, I'm beginning to suspect that CW11 has pulled the show.

George Lopez at 1:30 am and The Jeffersons at 2:30 am remain unaffected.

Hmm, interesting. I'll see if I can find anything.

After a week of undistinguished infomercials, tonight at 2 am The Odd Couple made its glorious return to WPIX CW11.

It must have been the volumes of viewer feedback that brought this classic comedy series back to air.

I cant belive that WPIX-CW11 would schedule a Paid Programming in The Odd Couple Time Slot they should cut out Paid Programming and just air Regural Programming.
