ABC - IDOL VS. DANCING

In an apparent effort to prevent ABC's Dancing With the Stars from bringing down House, Fox next Tuesday will extend American Idol seven minutes, thereby competing against Dancing during the overrun. Although Fox said that House will not be shortened because of the overrun, it was not clear whether the drama would run past 10:00 p.m., when local programming takes over on Fox stations, whether seven minutes of commercials would be deleted, or whether a tighter script has been shot for House. In any case, viewers planning to watch one show while automatically TiVoing the other would be advised to adjust their digital recorders accordingly.
