How many more football games are gonna interfere with The Simpsons? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It's been that way with the last two episodes, and what's worse is that the stupid games aren't even being played anymore because they're doing post game stuff. I watched the one about Bart and Sideshow Bob all the way through on demand. How soon will the last one be on demand?
Take care and God bless

I remember when football was on CBS and my father would get mad when it would preempt 60 Minutes, and he would really get angry about it. So I understand your pain.

Football games should only last so long except for overtime which cannot be controlled, and usually overtime in the NFL is short since the first team scores, wins. But since football has been a game in its current form for a hundred years, the broadcasters should know how long a football game lasts, so it doesn't bleed into prime time programming.

Look up "The Heidi Game" as to why the networks won't stop broadcast of a football game!

Is The Heidi Game a game show where men can win dates with Heidi Klum? smile

FOX has a 4:40pm ET kickoff again this Sunday, so the Simpsons might be late again.

No...it was this scenario...

I'm gonna use this scenario in the movie Dawg Pound...a movie about the Cleveland Browns turning from a disaster to a comeback team.

The scene shows that the game is in OT, it's on FOX and Cleveland's affiliate WJW sees that at 7 p.m., A Garfield Christmas was suppose to air and instead of going with the game where the Cleveland Browns beat the Minnesota Vikings with a fake field goal, like in the 1989 game...once the field goal play started...Clevelanders saw this...

Well...since the Garfield TV Specials as well as Garfield and Friends are supposedly owned by Disney now...would that work or should it be on Cleveland's ABC Affiliate WEWS?
