West Coast viewers: Did your local Fox station pre-empt The Simpsons?
I live in the SF Bay Area, and my local Fox station (actually owned by Cox Communications) is doing coverage of the bin Laden death by local anchors and let the rerun of Family Guy "And Then There Were Fewer" run completely, I believe, since KTVU was still showing that episode when my ABC, CBS, and NBC stations were showing special report coverage. Tonight there was supposed to be a new episode of The Simpsons, "The Real Housewives of Fat Tony".

1. Theres no new Family Guy, Clevand Show, or American Dad
tonight because Fox pulled them till next season because they all had to deal with a storm. Just though some people would like to know.

5. Wrong
Fox in L.A. hasn't pre-empted any of their shows tonight, in fact they're not even showing the President's speech now.
