FOX has pulled the October 18 episode of New Girl from its lineup and has replaced it with an expanded two-hour long episode of The X-Factor. The original plan was to air a 90-minute edition of ‘X-Factor’.
This is all in addition to previously announced pre-emptions for this week’s Wednesday episode and the October 25th episode, which means new episodes of New Girl (along with “Glee” and “Raising Hope”) won’t return until November 1.
