International television buyers are puzzled and dismayed at Fox's new program launch schedule, which will launch shows in June, November and January, instead of introducing all of its new shows in the traditional Fall period. THR quotes Richard Sattler, CEO of an LA based rep for international buyers, ""I will say that the international buyers are very confused by Fox announcing so many schedules with summer, fall and midseason launches. It makes it all very confusing..."

We're sure that the foreign buyers' fears can be put to rest, and that the global cataclysm that Fox's crazy ideas are sure to set into motion can be averted. The network can just reassure the skittish foreigners that despite this new, paradigm-shifting, inscrutable, staggered launch scheme, each episode of The O.C. will still end with a party ruined by a fight, and that Fox will continue to supply tasteless reality shows that seem like parodies from the apocalyptic TV channels of the future.
