Actually, it regularly won it's slot (I'm an AMW and would have never guessed that). Fox is claiming that it's too expensive so they're going to rerun episodes of dramas in that slot now.

So this year I've lost V, and AMW. Yet Chuck and Glee continue on and on. It's just not fair!

That must have been the first show ever on Fox. He did a lot of good in the world after the horrible thing that happened to his family.

That is weyid. Who else does it?

If anything, I think start times before 7:30 are too early. At least in a place like NYC. Early innings always look empty.

Tamper might be different.

You just don't like change. Once you are in Florida, playing shuffleboard while wearing socks with your sandals and eating dinner at 4:30 you will love it...

You're probably right. Anytime I go to Florida I seem to adapt and fit right in. Went to Key West for the first time last year. If my stay was longer than 5 days I truly believe that I would still be there sitting on a curb drinking from a brown bag.

They at least make sense consistent with the idea that in the Central and Mountain time zones, TV prime time starts at 7 p.m. (Arizona, IIRC, is in the Mountain time zone during DST (i.e., during baseball season) and the Pacific time zone in the winter. They don't observe DST so when California springs forward, Arizona stays put).

Also, they're out west. Might be something to help out fans of the road teams who are back east watching on TV.

Tamper, I don't get at all.

They may think that it will be impossible to grab a bite after work and get there for first pitch so it'll force more people to have dinner in the park.

Thats not a bad theory at all. Im only 27 but I know games used to start at 8 when they were about 2 hours, then 730 when they were about 2 and a half, now 7 as they last 3 hours. Maybe this 640 thing is just an attempt to get everyone out by 10 because games last forever?

Since I live with a bunch of females, I see way more of it than I normally would, but I don't get that show at all.
