What's Playing in the Media Room - October 13th

Based on a teleplay from the original "Charlie's Angels" series, the girls must break out of jail in their quest to crack a case. This time, they pose as unsuspecting American tourists to crack a kidnapping ring in Cuba. Upon arrival at the hotel, they are framed and thrown into a women's prison, where their key victim, Tess, is also incarcerated. Bosley joins forces with his ex-girlfriend, CIA operative Samantha Masters, but is this partnership something more?

The X Factor - 8:00 Two Hours - FOX - Season 1 Episode 7
Episode Title: Judge's House No. 1
The contestants visit the judges' homes and compete for a spot in the next round.

A wee bit of a mess up last night. So this didn't air in the States last night, but DID air in Canada on CTV. To further confuse things, CTV Two in standard definition is airing Judge's House No. 2, but CTV Two in High Definition is airing Judge's House No. 1 again. Then on Sunday night, Fox is planning on airing Judge's House No. 2 and that's if the baseball playoffs don't go to game 7. Then they're hoping to air Judge's House No. 3 on it's regular night.

*Please note: All this was taken from the channel guide site I use.
