> Another night of atypical FOX programming as we head to the World Series endgame(s). ABC:  The real test for the network’s new sitcoms will be next week when Glee returns, but ABC can’t be happy with the preliminary results:  the very expensive, hugely-promoted LAST MAN STANDING is a passable sub-3, while MAN UP! is […]
