Let's face it, FOX is a kick ass network. Amazing shows like the Simpsons, Firefly, Family Guy, Arrested Development. Everything good on television seems to be on Fox. But I must say they are really damaging their network as of late.
What the hell is wrong with this damn network? For god sakes they only gave Firefly 11 shows and cut it. It was poorly advertised and the time slot wasn't the best either. I watch Fox almost exclusively for syndicated seinfeld and simpsons as well as Arrested Development and i have been for some time yet i was introduced to firefly from the movie Serenity (my pick for film of the year, although maybe tie with sin city). My point is Fox needs to do a much better job! Those sons of Bitches cut Futurama for god sake. Simpsons gets shitty just as Futurama gets good and they axe Futurama! They brought the Family Guy back (a sub-par cartoon sitcom compared to Futurama and The simpsons seasons 3-11).
What are they so anxious to make room for here? Gorram reality shows!! I swear if they cancel Arrested Development I will boycott their network. Stupid sons of bitches!

They have a habit of canceling original and critically acclaimed shows, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Brimstone, Dark Angel, John Doe, Millennium, Wonderfalls, etc.

No, I bet it was like this. One of the FOX executives was watching an episode of Firefly, and the introduction song where it says "you can't take the sky from me" The FOX executive thought about that line and decided he wanted to see if he could do just that....and he did it appears.
Yes I know its negative; I'm sorry

Gee, I seem to recall some Fox exec, years ago, being quoted as saying: "The biggest mistake we made was cancelling 'Alien Nation'."
Let's review...
Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr.
Alien Nation
Brimstone
Firefly
Harsh Realm
The Lone Gunmen
M.A.N.T.I.S. (Only because I'm obssessed with exoskeletons

Here's a good discussion...

Brimstone was pretty good. I wonder if they would have had to really strech out some of the hunts to make the 113 (I think) souls last longer if the show ran for a long time. 
I was quite upset when they canceled Futurama. When it was on, I thought it was funnier than The Simpsons episodes that were airing. Of course, The Simpsons was in it's 10th or 11th season by then and losing some steam.
Every network cancels shows we like. Sci-Fi canceled MST3K, WB canceled Angel. It is not just a Fox thing. I have to give Fox credit for trying more unusual shows than other networks, though. Would NBC, CBS or ABC ever aired Firefly? Or The Simpsons? Probably not. Look at the shows that people are listing that Fox at least tried. Westerns. Supernatural shows. Science fiction. Conspiracy shows. What were the other networks showing? Rehashing the same old story lines. Police shows. Lawyer shows. 20 somethings with low moral values in the big city shows. Now EVERYONE is getting in on these formats. Lost, Prison Break (on Fox), Invasion, Surface, Supernatural, Numbers, Medium. Of course, don't get me wrong. I wish Fox had not canceled Firefly.
I have no idea why I went on a rant like that. Sorry.

As much as I hate FOX, its sad to say most of my current shows are on that channel. (Prison Break, Kitchen Confidential, Bones, House, OC, and Reunion) Yet I will never forgive them for cancelling Firefly, just like I will never forgive the WB, even though I'm at least watching 2 shows on that channel.
Its ok. FOX missed out on something big. They have to realize that by now, since the movie came out. They can wallow in their thoughts while they think of new reality shows (gag).
