If this is true, its great news. We can use an extra week to get the momentum going again. But, it could be an error since the website still has Sept 18 listed as the premiere.

I'll give FOX a call tomorrow and find out the official schedule and I'll post it here.

You doubt me -- I'm so hurt! Those lazy FOX corporate webmasters don't work weekends, but:

"Fox last week had to hold back the maiden voyage of its Tuesday reality show "Love Cruise," which was rescheduled for this week then bumped to Sept. 25."

There, you convinced now?

Even without reading the article, I would bet that whatever reasons Fox cites, they really didn't want to launch the boat against the double ep of BB2 on Tuesday--not when BB2 is so near its climax and people haven't had a fix for over a week. Good news for fans of both that the two won't conflict.

I must say Bozo you are taking the Sept 25th setback in an exceptionally rational and upbeat manner. Has anybody ever waited this loooonnnnggg for their 15 minutes of fame?

And I won't repeat any of my "Shakes in a rubber room under heavy sedation" silly stuff I posted on BB2. At this point, I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for you that real life and the unpredictable world of network teevee seems to be conspiring to deny you the fame and fortune we all know you so richly deserve!! (Oh heck, I couldn't even type that with a straight face; my bad!)

PS. Not that you ever bother to read my threads on OT --- but I DID add "Shakes the Clown - Michael (Chicago, Illinois)".....
to the Roster of SB Community Members....so "You're Welcome!" (HINT: now say "thanks"; you don't have to do it in public <sigh> just catch me some night in the Bar.)


"locked and loaded"

I'm so impressed that someone else knows how to do this. People joke about not being able to program one vcr, and you have two wired up.

I think Shakes demanded them to push this back a week so his brother Will can have the spotlight this week.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Wonder if shakes employed the Will strategy on LC?

Anyway, here's today's article about Fox delaying its Premiere Week to next week:

FOX Delays Premieres
Mon, Sep 17, 2001 11:02 AM PDT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - FOX followed suit Monday (Sept. 17), postponing the premieres of its fall premieres following the example of the Big Three networks. FOX premieres will now begin on 9/23, with the premieres of most shows being pushed back a week and replaced with repeats.

Initially set to debut Sept. 11 but preempted due to news coverage of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the dating series "Love Cruise: The Maiden Voyage" will now debut on Sept. 25 (at 9 PM), along with the new comedy "Undeclared." "Dark Angel's" season premiere will now air Friday, Sept. 28, along with the debut of the new fall drama "Pasadena."

(and so on...)
