This is how i shall defend King of the Hill by relaying a small part of an episode:

The son, Bobby chubby a little awkward and funny, tries smoking, the dad, Hank whose character is defined by the fact that he mows his postage stamp size yard with a riding mower which has a beerholder, decides he will teach Bobby a lesson.
Bobby will smoke a carton of cigarettes till the ciggies are done he is sick and therefore done with cigarettes. Now Hank is a proud proud Texan America so when Bobby holds the cigarette between his thumb and foreginger Hank questions him
"What nationality are you." Bobby's answer "American" Hank's response "then why are you holding that cigarette like a Nazi!"
Hank proceeds to show him how to smoke and they both end up addicted to nicotine and attended NA

It's time for That 80's show!!!!
and update the title every decade!!!
i can't wait for that OO's show

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Fox already tried That '80s Show.

As expected, no one really wanted to relive that decade

and so it was quickly cancelled.

Well, if Fox is going to bring back cancelled shows, can I put in a second-place vote for Wonderfalls?

How about that for a Thursday night lineup -- Wonderfalls followed by Firefly. I'd run down a small child to get home in time for those.

Well, an ugly small child.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

I'll mourn Malcolm in the Middle.

Hal has always been awesome, and latterly Dewey has been keeping his customary blank expression and completely stealing scenes all over the place.

I really want a Candy Floss (sorry, Cotton Candy) machine now.

Both were getting pretty stale.

Futurama was cancelled prematurely though, I'm glad to see they are bringing it back.

Both are at the end of their life span anyway... the writing has run dry and the rag has been rung out... it's one of the reasons why Seinfeld cancelled... if you name a situation the writers could've easily named the show and season that that show aired...

What they aired for like nearly 10 seasons each? That's what I call a successful TV Show..

All I can say is GOOD. Those shows sucked bigtime, especially Malcolm in the Middle. The early 70's show seasons were OK though. Maybe this goes to show FOX that the shows that they cancel are better than the ones they have on at the moment. Sure they brought back Family Guy, but it isn't the same. Sure, bringing back Futurama will be cool, but we all know those dumb fs will pre-empt it for football and baseball, AGAIN. Lets see here, IF Firefly was brought back, what would happen? Perhaps one these scenarios:

1) They screw it up the same way as before
2) They find a NEW way to screw it up
3) Joss Whedon tells them to shove it up their asses (you know, politely)
4) They (FOX) will tell Joss what to do even more so than before
5) It stays faithful to Joss' vision, but nobody watches it (AGAIN), because people, on average are dumb hicks and would rather watch a dumb-dumb show like American Idol, and is cancelled after a few weeks.

OR (in our dreams)

6) It becomes a smash hit, everyone watches it, insanity ensues, and Joss and the gang win every award show for television and it lasts longer than Star Trek did.
