Over the years FOX has cancelled more great shows than any other network. Firefly ROCKS! It is sad to hear Joss tell about how FOX didn't understand the show and as a result never got behind it 100%. I guess they can only relate to such crap as Family Guy
FOX, here's to you!

Why can't I have a registered companion of my own?

Well then I guess I can talk about my EVIL idea to have for the opening day was to arrange to get the address for Fox TV studios and send them a bushel of Green Apples. Witha Card of Course asking them "What you think about them Apples."

It would be set to arrive on opening day so that even if they wished to raise a stink the movie would be in theaters and the stink might drive attendence up. Which si a good thing.

I'm not trying to start a fight, because I know comedy is subjective, but I think Family Guy is one of the funniest shows on TV.
There's no reason to trash what may be another persons baby just to prove television execs have no taste and less common sense. God knows there's enough proof that already.

...cause Justice is the one thing you should always find.

I'll go you one better! Let's order about 600 tons of fresh horse manure and have it dumped at FOX's main studio gate. The note would read: "Here's another load of crap for your Fall Line-up!"

Nah it might get us in trouble with health people. Also the fact folks will not be watching will be their clue about piss poor programming.

TJACK:
Family Guy is a joke!
The guy who writes this show totally ripped off the character names from his home town. After the first season the whole town threatened to sue FOX for allowing their names to be used in a not so flattering way! Guess what? No 2nd season!
Why do so many TV comedies have the husband as some FAT LOSER and the wife is a HOTIE?
How often do you see this in real life? NEVER

OK, you may be right. I just really get postal when I think about all of the interesting shows that FOX has screwed over!
FIREFLY is one of the most original shows I have seen in years! Let's hope that another network wakes-up and options a few seasons of Firefly!

You may be right. I hated Family guy after seeing 1 episode (It was some stupid BS about the father crashing his car into a satalite dish and knocking out the whole town's cable TV)
Anyway, after the first season I read in TV guide that the town was threatening to sue FOX and FOX was considering pulling the plug to avoid the lawsuit. Since I hated the show I never paid attention to whether it was dropped or not!

Family Guy is smart and very witty. It deserves the 2nd chance it's got, just as Firefly deserves to live again on the big screen.
