How to pass time if your Fox show is interrupted by the World Series

Monday night I was more than a bit disappointed as I sat down to watch "House", only to find it wasn't scheduled. Most likely that was due to the potential for a baseball playoff game that could have been that night. As it turns out, the Fox Network is showing the World Series, which easily could go 6 or 7 games. So what to do while that's on? Here are some amusing suggestions.

My favorite: House
"Buy a whiteboard, white lab coats and a cane, develop an addiction to painkillers, invite some friends over and wait until a player pulls up lame. Then break out the markers and brainstorm his potentially rare injury. Be sure to yell “It’s not lupus!” and verbally abuse everyone in sight.

Anyone else have an idea for the out of luck fans of a show that gets preempted like this?

Hmm, I'll just pass the time by watching the World Series.

I own Left 4 Dead and COD:WAW. I just don't see the problem.;)

Have a large cache of DVDs and DVR'd shows to watch. :)

The World Series will be, what, a week and a half at the longest? If that's an eternity, you watch too much television. :p

It's a seven-game series, so "at the longest" it'll be a week.

Make that a week-and-a-half for a 7-game series (gotta throw in a couple of off days).

It isn't that long a time to have to kill. Miss maybe one ep? How many eps are there all year for most shows - around 20-22? What do you do the other 34+ weeks? Just do the same here. Watch other DVDs, read a book, watch other shows off your DVR (live tv is so 1990s!), actually watch the World Series, tweet/post/chat/blog/whatever you like to do online, listen to music, sleep, play a game, bake some cookies, etc.

Between DVDs, Netflix, the DVR, Xbox 360 (and everything else), there is never a shortage on things to do.
