“Dollhouse” on The Oklahoman’s TV Week, but not on Fox TV
The Oklahoman’s TV Week
features “Dollhouse” on its Oct. 25 cover, but Fox will not air the show on Oct. 30 after all.
“Dollhouse” has been pulled from the Fox schedule for November sweeps (Oct. 29-Nov. 25).
As of Friday afternoon, Fox Network had not issued a press release about the schedule change. But even if the network had announced it when The Programming Insider reported the news on Thursday, it wouldn’t have changed the TV book cover.
All 210,000 copies of the Oct. 25 TV Week to be distributed in the metro area were printed, folded, stapled and stacked by 12:45 p.m. Wednesday.
When The Oklahoman asked for a confirmation of the late network change and information to pass along to readers, a Fox spokesperson provided the following statement:
“‘Dollhouse’ will now NOT air on Fridays during the November sweeps period. ‘Dollhouse’ airs tonight (Oct. 23) in its regular time period and then will be off for five weeks.
“It is scheduled to return to Fridays beginning Dec. 4 — back-to-back hours for three consecutive weeks — and continue airings in January as well. Hope this helps!”
So keep Sunday’s copy of TV Week and refer to it when “Dollhouse” returns Dec. 4. The episode will feature Summer Glau (”Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”) in a recurring role on the science-fiction drama.
