Are there any CBS affiliates that are knocking off Jeopardy's Ultimate Tournament of Champions due to March Madness? That really loses the flow.

KHOU in Houston is (along with Price Is Right & Wheel of Fortune to sweep the game shows under the rug). They always do that to game shows, but I'm thankful they didn't knock off Ken Jennings during the week of US Open Tennis.

TPIR is in reruns Tue-Fri this week with March Madness in mind. Today's show was the show that was preempted on 1/20 for Bush's second inauguration.

We get two stations on Comcast here in Lancaster, PA that air WoF and J!...the local Harrisburg CBS affiliate (WHP) will pre-empt the shows, but we can catch them on Philadelphia's own WPVI, albeit in reverse order.

And I know it messes up the flow for some of you, but c'mon...this time in the Men's College Basketball season is fantastic. Watch the last five minutes of a couple first-round games and maybe I'll change your mind, doubters out there.

I was always more partial to "The Brady Bunch", Weird Al's parody of this song.

"all of them had hair of gold, like their moth-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
the youngest one in curls"

Do we have Pat O'Brien to thank for that?

I thought Witch, Horan, and Trivia were supposed to be kicking it sometime soon. Guess we were wrong!

If Jeopardy does get pre empted, I wonder if the local affiliates would do them on Saturday or Sunday, depending on the city. It is probably tough for a CBS affiliate to re schedule anything (seems how Madness is from Noon to Midnight damn near every Madness day from Thursday - Sunday)

FYI:

Games are as follows (All times ET):

12N - 5PM, 7PM - 12M Thursday and Friday
1PM - 10PM Saturday
12N - 7PM Sunday (can't pre-empt 60 MINUTES)

So there are slots where shows can be shifted around (either in the 5PM-7PM break or after Craiggers Deux).

The simple answer is that if your CBS affiliate carries Jeopardy in that hour before prime time, then it'll be pre-empted. If your local station cares more about Jeopardy than one of its other syndicated shows, they might play it at an earlier time, but don't count on it. Better to annoy one fan base than two. The obvious thing to do is to call the station and ask if they have a rescheduled time to air those shows, even if it's in the middle of the night. That's what VCR's (and DVR's) are for.

Agreed....That's what I did a day or so ago with WHP......Haven't heard anything yet, so we'll see what happens.
