The reason CtG was bumped on the west coast is that Monday Night
Football is shown live and uses up that time slot. It isn't 
affected in the eastern and central time zones. Last year That's
Incredible was handled the same way here in the local market.
Network programming is always dictated by how it affects the
east. The west usually has to bend its schedule to fit. Mountain
time stations often find themselves in bizarre scheduling
situations (i.e. kid's Saturday cartoons at 4 in the morning).
When say a presidential press conference is on at 6:00pm PST
it usually disrupts programming for the rest of the evening.
The reason, of course, is that it is 9:00 EST and therefore
has hit right in the middle of prime time. The local stations must
then fill the time with something like a movie.
 When MNF winds down in January all will be put in order again.
In the mean time get a VCR and time shift.
