'X-Files' premiere delayed

"The X-Files" fans are going to have to wait a little bit longer to see the ninth season premiere of the show.

Fox announced that they are delaying the premiere of "The X-Files" as well as "King of the Hill," "The Simpsons" and "Malcolm in the Middle" by one week to Nov. 11 because of the rescheduled Emmy Awards and a possible Game Seven of Major League Baseball's World Series.

"There's a very real expectation that the World Series could go to a seventh game, and with the twice-rescheduled Emmys, it's smart scheduling to allow Fox's Sunday lineup to gain the most viewership possible," a network spokesman told Zap2it.

Currently, Game Seven of the World Series, if it had to go that far, would air on Nov. 4. However, if the World Series is won before Game Seven, Fox has decided to air a 90-minute marathon of "The Simpsons" beginning at 7 p.m. with "Tall Tales," "Treehouse of Horror XI" and "Trilogy of Error." Following it will be encore episodes of "Malcolm in the Middle" and "That '70s Show."

The first part of "The X-Files" season premiere will begin at 9 p.m. ET Nov. 11 that will have special guest appearances by Lucy Lawless ("Xena: Warrior Princess") and Cary Elwes ("The Princess Bride"), both of whom are expected to take on recurring roles during the course of the ninth season and possibly into a tenth if one is ordered by Fox.

The second part of the premiere will air Nov. 18.
