The #1 being cancelling Firefly. But since we all know that and I feel like FLAMING that VILE corperation, what is the SECOND most reason FOX SUCKS?

My answer is the hiatus which = death of FUTURAMA.

If I knew who originally showed Family Guy I would hat them as well.

I have Dark Angel and Space: Above and Beyond as #2 and #3 why fox bites. Can make Futurama #4.

I feel your pain.

Morbid and creep-ifying I got no problem with.

Add to this list the apparently never-ending supply of shows like Joe Millionaire and Anything for Love. Just the ads make me want to yak.

I have to agree with the Futurama comment, only have they cancelled it again? They can't seem to make up their mind. They also cancelled Family Guy, The PJ's, The Lone Gunmen, Dark Angel, and anything else I've enjoyed watching on their network. I can't say enough bad things about Fox.

Fox is certainly evil... The earliest show I can remember getting hooked on just in time for cancelation was Kindred: The Embraced, which was a pretty cool vampire story.

Then there was Space: Above and Beyond, Brimstone, Family Guy, Futurama, and Firefly. I'm probably forgetting a few in there too.

Oh, and I'm sorry, but Dark Angel was a bad Buffy knock off, and Jessica Alba, while she is nice to look at, cannot act worth a damn. That one deserved to be canceled.

When I signed up I compiled a list of things I hated about Fox and wrote it as my signature - read for yourselves.

The Fox network. They brought us Two Guys and a Girl, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Family Guy, Futurama, Brimstone, British Sky Broadcasting, only to snatch them all away.
They left us with 24.

SPACE (Canadian SF channel) shows Brimstone on Mondays at 9 - a space (no pun) soon to be occupied by our beloved FF. Sadly, only in reruns but at least in the right order. I wonder if they'll get the modified version of OiS as per JW's comments about the DVD?

The Tick was screamingly funny. Naturally it had to go. I'm really enjoying Keen Eddie which I understand is also on its way out, natch!

FWIW, someone has a hilarious quote from The Tick as their .sig.

I remember. It was based on White Wolf's Vampire RPG. However, in Fox's defense (God, I can't beleive that I'm saying that) the thing that pushed the show over the edge toward cancellation was the fact that the guy who played the Prince of the City died.

Also - it was produced by Tori Spelling (of 90210 fame) - how long could it have gone without turning into a prime time soap opera?

In my book, Family Guy is #2 and all these shameless reality shows are # 3. I'm just sickened by the whole thing. Since Firefly was cancelled, I have not watched 2 seconds of the Fox network, and it will be a Gorramn cold day in Hell before I ever do.

Cancelling a show that's ratings are improving, talk about stupid. Fox execs are so effing stupid they couldn't count their balls and come up with the same number twice, and I've got half a mind to send them a sharp letter telling them how much I think they SUCK!

Viva Firefly!!! Go to Hell, "Fux"!

gorram fox...a pox on fox...i am watching Keen Eddie right now (an Ally McBeal-esque cop show set in England) fully aware that it is currently on Hiatus. also, since everything else is in reruns, it's the only thing that's actually new, even if it is doomed.

why then do I bother? because Mark Valley has extremely blue eyes AND dimples - hull-OO! you don't think I'm getting sucked in by quality TV again, do you? perish the thought!!

gorram fox!!

I have had the greatest idea for a fanfic.

Doctor Berman and Mrs Hyde

By day, Gail Berman commissions daring new edgy television that will air in the new season on the Fox network, but no sooner has she done that and gone to bed, does her alter ego take over and cancel all of the shows in the attempt to make Fox a successful channel.

I'm suprised any television producers still make material for the worst channel in the world - knowing full well that only Joe Millionaire and the Simpsons will ever go beyond one season.

I hope that the cast and crew of Firefly enjoy all the success and happiness that they deserve and that Gail Berman chokes to death on her own puke, which is what she deserves for cancelling Firefly.

Viva Firefly! Down with the FauX network.

LUNATIKAT

Remember the Christmas episode of The Family Guy where Lois is having an attack of anti-Christmas spirit and melts down Frosty the Snowman, who, when the kids put the magic top hat that has blown off of him back onto him, screams "Take it off, take it off" (melting in agonizing pain)? Was there ever such a Christmas? Was there ever such a show? And Titus! And Tick! Seriously, what is wrong with these people? How did people brain-damaged enough to cancel these shows ever have the brains to buy them and air them in the first place? NOT A RHETORICAL QUESTION - I REALLY WANT TO KNOW! Does anyone have any real inner sanctum info on the machinations at Fox? What are the names and titles of the individuals with the final say on these things? Is it a constantly shifting power base, or some kind of bi-polar cycling mood thing, or do they just fire everyone regularly to keep things interesting? Seriously, we are not stupid people at this website, maybe we can pool some information and figure this out. I mean, somebody must still care something (financial) for Firefly or the DVD wouldn't have gotten off the ground. What really happened?

It has already been mentioned that this was an RPG to start. One I run for my group so watched with baited breath. And was horrified by the treatment. They tried to explain to much to fast. Made the show very convulted. Which I am sure is becuase fox would not give the producers any time to develop it at a slower pace.fox BITES

Morbid and creep-ifying I got no problem with.

All FOX needs to do now is remove it's syndicated animation block and cancel 24, then they'd officially run out of watchable programming.

THE #2 REASON FOX SUX:
The disgustingly racist and idiotic show 'BANZAI!'
What right do they have to make fun of the Japanese? That country does most of the animation for the Simpsons!

Banzai was formerly on a cable network. I think it was USA and they cancelled it because it was so stupid.

Just goes to show that Fox is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I used to watch Fox almost exclusively, now I have nothing but Keen Eddie (which is on it's last show this week, I believe), the Simpsons, and the remaining episodes of Futurama.
