You can tell a FOX show is about to die when they juggle it’s time slot arond, especially if they do it several times within a short span of time.
I never watched wonderfalls… I wanted to… but IT’S ON A FRIDAY NIGHT… what kind of time is that? I mean… that just isn’t a typical TV watching time for most people… you know?
FOX has a history of making great shows, juggling with putting them in HORRIBLE time slots, and then wondering why no one likes the shows/knows about them.
Example: Titus… the best non-cartoon tv show i’ve ever seen… just brilliant… it lasted a few years thank God… but… they jsut kept INTERFERING WITH STUPID AMERICAN IDOL and changing it’s date and time so much…
Then they wonder why the ratings are bad?
Then… Andy Richter controls the universe… anyone that saw the show tended to love it… but you know, they had it in a good spot on sunday n ights, then they moved it like wednesdays or something… NOW IT’S GONE
I hate FOX so much…
FAMILY GUY… a show with legions of die hard fans… BUT THEY TRIED TO COMPETE WITH SURVIVOR…
If you have a popular show and you want to save it, put it on during a good time, and KEEP IT THERE
don’t cancel it for 2 months to show your lame reality shows… god…
I hate american idol with a passion…
anyway…
I knew that stupid show the Pitts was dead from the beginning… I refused to watch arrested development because I figured it wouldn’t last more than a month… but eventually I caved in and it’s not a bad show at all but it’s no Titus
And why the hell do they write “profanity” into the scripts only to CENSOR IT? I don’t get it… they show nudity and 4 letter words but they censor it… WHY? That makes no sense… unless they want us to hate the FCC as much as humanly possible… which I already do.
But yeah… FOX is a horrible netowrk with a history of ruining fantastic shows due to putting them in bad timeslots (oh yeah Futurama too… it was always cancelled because FOOTBALL was in the way)
Yet they keep horrible shows on the air that need a swift killing (the simpsons… i’m sick of it, none of the new episodes are good, they are flat out of ideas… it’s getting better than it was the past 2-3 seasons though at least).
So anyway… you might see wonderfalls start back up briefly then die again, they tend to do that with prematurely killed shows.
to FOX and corporate media in general.
