Idiots? That was one of the biggest events in sports history. You may not be a big fan, I certainly am not, but waiting one week for the premiere is not that big of a deal. I certainly think that the game was worthy of preempting King of the Hill.

So to be fair, why not schedule a baseball game for next Tuesday at 8pm, and then preempt it for the premeire of KOTH? I certainly thin that KOTH is worthy of preempting the baseball game.

Why? What national presence does it have? Take a look at the numbers, my friend. KOTH doesn't represent a item of immediate national interest. Sure, I love the show, but the McGwire home run, like it or not, affected a lot of people - much more than KOTH ever will.

A drug using baseball player actually earns his rediculous salery for once. Gee that is history.

Hate baseball. Hate it, hate it, hate it..

Of course you know what happens next. KOTH's season opener next week will get horrible ratings because everyone thought it was on last week. Which will lead to an endless downward spiral for KOTH which ends with it being canceled in mid season and replace by the TV show version of "She's Got Grove."

And then letterman has a day in the park while Mike Judge sues OJ Simpson for killing Chuck Mangione. And then people start seeing Hank working in a coffee shop. Then a whole new fox special will come on "Is hank really dead or are people crazy?" which will push an episode of She's Got Grove back 1 week. Which will make 100's of fans angry so Fox will cancel it. then in a year or so X files and Simpsons will be canceled because they lost a good spot behind S.G.G. and then it's the end of the world as we no it. Baseball my ass.

I think it's just another FOX marketing strategy, to find out how popular the show is. They just advertise a major event for weeks on end, then postpone it, and see how many people complain. #complaints=demographics.
