This happens exactly never. Until this year. 

When a network with the rights to the Super Bowl names the show that will follow the biggest ratings getter of the year, it's usually a lock so they can promote the hell out of it. But this year, Fox changed its mind. After announcing last May that its new drama "Rescue HI-Surf" would get the coveted post game slot, the broadcaster has apparently changed its mind.

On Monday, Fox confirmed the rescue-in-the-water drama, with an elongated episode, will be shunted until the next day, replaced by the Rob Lowe-hosted game show "The Floor." 

Personally, I'm not a fan of either show - or the Super Bowl, for that matter. But I am kind of surprised by the choice, since The Floor is not a very compelling game show and does not ultimately name a winner until the end of the season. As a sometime game show fan, I want to get it over with in the same show or I'm not coming back. For me, The Floor has too high a ceiling.

But obviously Fox has a lot of confidence in it to give it the single most valuable time slot on network TV.

"Ultimately, Fox brass decided the Super Bowl would be a better platform to launch the new season of The Floor, trying to bring in untapped family viewing to the show while keeping Rescue HI-Surf‘s regular schedule."
