FOX Benches Frosh Series Before Baseball

The sly fox is beginning to look a little, well, shifty.

FOX has put freshman comedy Happy Hour on hiatus until after it restarts its schedule following baseball during the month of October. New episodes of the comedy series (named "First to Fall" by Cynopsis) that no one has heard of, much less is watching, will return to the schedule on November 2nd. Filling in for the frosh laugher are repeats of fellow newbie comedy series 'Til Death on September 28th and October 1st.

Also benched: dramas Justice (whose October 4th slot will be filled with a repeat of House) and Standoff, whose slot next week will be filled with... something else.

As for me, I go on watching television without noticing that any of the above had ever happened.
