Why is it that, for the second time now, rain delay causes a sporting event to get in the way of our favorite Fox shows? In October it was the World Series pre-empting Fringe because of some pesky rain delay. THEN to add insult to injury, the Daytona 500 got moved to last Monday night, again because of some pesky rain delay. I’m starting to think that Dr. Walter Bishop and Dr. Lucy Banerjee need to start working on a solution to this pesky rain delay issue.

While we wait, how about checking out the synopsis and very creepy trailer for tonight’s new episode of Alcatraz STARTING AT EIGHT O’CLOCK. That’s right, folks, we’re getting two Alcatrazes (Alcatrai?) tonight, but not because of the delay; they had always planned on showing two episodes tonight. The episode from last week has been rescheduled to next week.
