NBC won't be competing with Game 7 of the ALCS tonight on Fox (Red Sox vs .Yankees), and will be showing reruns tonight. Overheard on the radio.

Elsewhere, Ross (David Schwimmer) accidentally discovers that singing the suggestive lyrics to "Baby Got Back" is the only way to get baby Emma to sleep but fears telling Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) self-destructs when she tries to make a good impression at a dinner party hosted by the huffy parents of her new boyfriend Mike (guest star Paul Rudd, "The Cider House Rules").

WILL MOTORMOUTH MAVIS GO BUSH LEAGUE AFTER ENCOUNTER WITH FRIENDLY PRESIDENT? -- After a chance encounter with President Bush (guest star Steve Bridges) when his motorcade stops at the Lamont Hotel, Mavis (Whoopi Goldberg) cannot mouth off to the Commander in Chief after he recognizes her and pays homage to her singing talents -- but she clashes with Republican Courtney (Wren T.

WEAVER FIND HER WAY OUT OF A DEEP ETHICAL WORMHOLE? -- Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) finds herself in a deep hole when she bends the rules to treat the syphilitic lover of her powerful new patron -- Alderman Bright (guest star Bruce Weitz, "Hill Street Blues") -- but when the patient has a severe allergic reaction, she desperately tries to cover her tracks and compromises her ethics even further. In the meantime, Weaver's career continues to get a boost at the expense of a stubborn Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane) and Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) and Abby (Maura Tierney) reassess their relationship. Elsewhere: Dr. Kovac (Goran Visnjic) ruminates aloud on his star-crossed career path while he ministers to a rebellious teenaged girl who claims she was sexually abused at a boot camp for wayward youths, and Carter cares for a nasty middle-aged woman who's slowly being poisoned.

There are rumblings that Survivor will be new, but CSI and Without a Trace could be reruns.

Does anone remember the last time the other networks ran away from baseball. I am a big baseball fan and have noticed I have been more interested in the playoffs than I have in a
long time.

Here is an article from the 10/16 St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Quote:
NBC pulling new episodes of 'Friends,' 'ER' off tonight's schedule By Gail Pennington
Post-Dispatch
10/16/2003
Caving in to the long-running baseball playoffs, NBC is pulling new episodes of "Friends," "ER" and other Thursday night hits off tonight's schedule in favor of reruns.
On Wednesday, the network did the same thing, yanking scheduled new episodes of "The West Wing" and "Law & Order." Fans upset not to find "The West Wing" in its usual time slot (where a rerun of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" aired instead) pelted KSDK (Channel 5) and the Post-Dispatch with angry questions. The last-minute decision was made long after TV listings were printed.
Both the National League and American League championship series went to pivotal seventh games, with the Florida Marlins defeating the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday and the New York Yankees taking on the Boston Red Sox tonight.
Networks typically make just 22 episodes of each series per season and are reluctant to waste them when viewership might be low. "We felt it was in the best interest to hold the original episodes for a later date," NBC said in a statement printed on KSDK's Web site. "Your viewers are not missing anything, and the story lines they have been following this season will continue."
Next week's "West Wing" had already been scheduled as a repeat. Game 4 of the World Series will air that night on Fox.
In addition, NBC will air repeats next Thursday. November sweeps start Oct. 30, so new episodes of all shows will certainly be seen for four weeks after that.
