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.



Yes! I love all of those shows. Except Arrested Development. I saw part of one episode, didn't love it, but I figure there's better ways to waste my life. But the way I see it, I don't watch the ads, and I don't have a ratings box, so Fox doesn't get any of my money, does it? Except when I bought my Firefly DVD.

Here's another drawn-out anti-fox Simpsons quote:
Quote:


Marge: Lisa, I like it when you stand up for what you believe in, but you've been doing that an awful lot lately.
Bart: Yeah, you made us march in that gay rights parade.
Homer: [bitter] And we can't watch Fox, just because they own those chemical weapons factories in Syria.

The ONLY "Reality TV" show I EVER enjoyed was "Boot Camp". . .and not the crap "Celebrity Boot Camp" either. . .the one season "Boot Camp".

One guess why.


Oh yeah. . .and it figures. . .it only lasted ONE season.

I think we just realized, in a backhanded way, where reavers come from.

Reality TV.

They become so desensitised that they start acting out, and the law of diminishing returns is clear that they would keep getting worse...

Friday nights belong to CBS (Joan of Arcadia) and Scifi (Stargate SG-1) anyway.



Hey, that's my Friday night, too!

Followed up by DVDs

Gotta agree with you folks there!

Joan rocks! Star Gate is good, but may be headed for the pasture, sorry to say- RDA wants to spend more time with the family. And the rest of Sci-Fi's lineup sucks, even Tremors, which I like anyway for it's b-movie shtick.

belasera, you wanted to know of some good shows on tv. well, nothing on fox of course. but, there is a good show on discovery called mythbusters. in a way, i guess it could be considered a reality show. but, it is more along the lines of watching two crazy guys blow stuff up. its great.
