I agree. Unfortunately, Wonderfalls is going to premiere in March Friday nights on Faux. I'm really afraid that it is doomed.

I am with you on that score. If Fox is handling it, and they stick it in that slot, it will be the kiss of death. I truly hope that is not the case as Jewel is supposed to have a role on the show. Surely she must be having feelings of déjà vu.

Am i alone in viewing several other Fox shows? I have to say i really like 'arrested development' enough so that i will even tape it if i am not home to see it. I think Malcom in the Middle is entertaining and King of the Hill is priceless and of course i love the Simpsons. Fox has made terrible terrible choices is so in it for the quick buck and has no loyalty. It doesn't nurture creative shows and abandons amazing shows like Firefly. So boo hiss to Fox for dissing and dismissing Firefly but i amn't ready to shut it off forever.

I realize that Fox does have some good shows, and some decent ones I used to watch- But their record of show-killing just keeps me from getting involved with a new show (I've posted before that I heard really good things about 'Arrested') for fear they'll kill it- Also, what prevents me from watching the network is the garbage; how can I take a network seriously that will put Simple Life and My Big Fat whatever on the air in place of Firefly?

That, and of course I'm still bitter at them for what they did to Firefly

I agree. I just won't get involved in a Fox program for fear they will kill it if I like it. I got into "Undeclared" & "Greg the Bunny", both of which were killed off quickly by Fox. I just gave up.

Add to the fear of a show I actually enjoy getting axed is the fact that their adherence to squeeze every dime out of the old, tired "reality" show deal, and their weak programming and I just can't tune into Fox anymore.

I'm confused. From the UK, so I don't have to deal with the fox channel and such.
What confuses me is that I watched the 'Firefly' weekend we had here on Sci-fi uk - all 15 episodes back to back - and there aren't any more.

Do Fox not like money?

Admittedly, reality tv would seem to be the format of choice for the great unwashed (I doubt you've been exposed to the wonders of the Salon - eight to ten hours a day of cameras, in a London hairdressers.)

But, do Fox not like money?

This show has everything a growing lad needs, from fantastic scripts to lesbianism. I mean the sheer scope of it.

So, Fox don't like money then?

Hey Reaver... I understand there's lots of food and clothing materials in the Fox Studios offices. Look for the higher floors and anybody in a suit. I know it won't be healthy eating, but it sure as hell won't be any loss for the rest of us

Oh, and bring along your Reaver friends, too!

We don't have cable or dish, so I'm pretty much stuck with network TV. The shows I watch every week are:
Charmed
CSI:Miami
24
NCIS
West Wing
Smallville
Angel (of course!)
CSI
Joan of Arcadia

It seems like a lot of people here are anti-network with a passion. I, unfortunately, cannot afford to be. I choose to try and find one or two things I like about a show and watch for that alone. As my house is not a Nielson house, it hardly matters what I'm watching anyway.

How long do you think it'll be before they cancel the other semi-intelligent shows on TV like "Joan of Arcadia" and "24"? I can't believe they are still airing with the J.O.s minding the store at the networks (oh, J.O. - something you do with your hands

) I mean, can't they take all the interesting stuff off and just give us "Survivor" and "American Idol" clones until what's left of our minds drip out of our ears like overcooked Cheez Whiz? That's what I'm waiting for...

THe sadest part is, that when reality TV came out, it WAS good. For a year. The only good Reality show was Survivor, every thing else... Well the entire idea of reality TV really WAS survivor. After that, there was nowhere to go with it in any sensible persons brain.

But Fox isnt sensible is it....

People only beleive somehting if it's in a movie

Let's assume for the sake of argument that fox is not run by dung-slinging monkeys (I know, bit of a stretch, but just try). If they had realized their mistake (back when the show was on the air) of putting the show on in a bad time-slot for the key audience, what time should they have moved it to?

Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

But instead, they get BBC1, BBC2, and BBC3.

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Then you are very lucky indeed Reaver, to not be subjected to the mind numbing garbage that Fox calls their program lineup.
