Call Fox and Ask Them To Reschedule

Okay, here's what I suggest we all do about last night's KING OF THE HILL:

Call 310-369-3066.

That's Fox's number for "viewer comments" (you just leave a message, so calling after 6:00 is not a problem). Say as calmly as possible under the circumstances that only the last 5 minutes or so of last night's episode were shown, and you want them to reschedule the episode so you can actually see it. I think this is more effective than email, and if they get enough of these messages it might convince them to reschedule the episode.

Otherwise it might not be shown until next Christmas. I'm quite serious. One time a KotH Thanksgiving episode was pre-empted by football, and it was never seen again until a year later.

I've been told that the Christmas episode will be repeated this coming Monday, the 22nd, after a repeat of The Simpsons. (They originally announced it to repeat in that spot; then they replaced it with a "Stan Hooper" rerun, but now they are reverting to the plan of repeating KotH there.) So us East Coasters can see it then... unless they change their mind again (just don't blame me).

Of course, you can still call or email Fox, just for the sheer fun of complaining (it's good to vent). I noticed when I called their viewer-complaints number that the recorded message tells you, in painstaking detail, not to complain about Fox News, there's another number just for complaining about Fox News, etc. You think maybe they get a lot of complaints about Fox News?

Probably all the complaints on Fox News are from the Liberal Left Wing people, who don't like to hear the truth on a news broadcast.
