Did your Halloween marathon skip TOH 12?

Here in SF, CA the last slot in the Treehouse marthon was not Treehouse 12, it was "Trilogy of Error." This was referred to by title, by the hosts, so I presume this was not a case of someone grabbing the wrong tape.

Did other cities see this? My guess is that this was because TOH 12 (season 13 in general) isn't available for syndication yet.

According to tvguide.com, TOH 12 is NOT the repeat just before next week's TOH 13. That's a bummer, often in the past FOX has run TOH repeats just before and/or after the new one.

Probably because they were going to show THOH 12 tonight (10/27) had the World Series not gone seven games. (I'm a little surprised they don't show it at 7:00, between the end of football and the start of baseball.) They could always make a last-second change

That's what they have scheduled here on Fox.

The Simpsons (Treehouse of Horror XII) at 7:00 PM Baseball at 7:30 PM

I don't know if that will really happen.

The episode is starting right now on Fox.

Thanks all, for the tip -- might show up later tonight on my west coast affiliate. (There's no listing after the game; it's "To Be Announced" until 10pm, on Yahoo anyway.)

That's exactly what they did. Since Fox wasn't doing a football doubleheader today, would it have killed them to show the new one?

Probably, given that the time slot would slide all over the schedule across the country. It played at 9:30 here in SF, after the game. (And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have played at all if the Giants had won -- more post-game coverage, instead. Anyone in LA want to confirm?)

SF gets marathons? Cool. Chicago got no syndicated eps today (like every Sunday), just the network rerun of THOH 12. Rockford got two non-THOH syndicated eps before the network rerun.

Since the network aired it tonight, I'd assume your guess is right.

Yeah, we got TOH 1-11 plus an extra, 6-midnight on Saturday night -- I'm going from memory, but I don't think they were too butchered. (The cuts to commercials were VERY tight, though.) It ran on the same station that has the local syndication contract.

I saw from some other thread here that some place in the East (Boston?) got a TOH marathon as well, so I was kinda figuring it was a fairly widespread stunt, packaged by the distributor, but maybe not.

Thanks again to all who replied... I watched the post-game coverage like a hawk, and caught it here in SF at 9:30!
