FOX is set to close the key ratings period with major declines in all the major categories: down 21% in households, down 23% in total viewers, down 26% in adults 25-54 and down 29% in adults 18-49. Those dips also mark the largest by any network in each respective category.
That was from www.thefutoncritic.com

Their strategy of getting rid of almost every quality show that actually required the use of a writer really seems to be paying off. They lost a quarter of their viewers in every category during Feb. sweeps. Could not happen to nicer folks I guess. I do hope Wonderfalls is a big hit for them, but I'm afraid they will wind up cancelling it for The Littlest Groom 2.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

You're absolutely right about that! FOX is the right-wing's propaganda machine and I couldn't be happier knowing that Americans are finally waking up to that fact and tuning out.

OTOH, I've heard that Wonderfalls is quite good and I REALLLLLLY want to watch it but I'm soooo afraid that I will like it and then it'll be cancelled. Why oh why couldn't they have taken their show elsewhere? Well, at least I'll feel less guilty about getting the eps from tvtorrents.com.

Oh yeah ... FOX

Well the Right needs a propaganda machine when the Left has every other major network spewing their propaganda.

Politics aside, I think Fox deserves it. Firefly, Family Guy, Futurama--all gone; they should just hang a 'talent need not apply' sign over their door.

Couldn't happen to a nicer network. Maybe someone at Fox will eventually wise up and can all the execs that make these poor programming choices.

Thanks for the #s CaptainCDC.

Been listening to Pill-Popper Rush and his cronies, have ya?
Obviously you know absolutely nothing about the media in this country if you think the networks are "spewing" Left propaganda. And the way you spelled politics, with an "o", prooves my point...
Fox has been shilling for the current administration and it's now starting to bite them in the ass. To which I say Yipppeeee!!!!

Other than that...the weasles at Fox are getting their just desserts.
If you have a chance to see the industry publication "Television Week" for the week of 1 March, check out the drek Fox--and all the other networks--have in Development.
Pitiful.

Has fox been the spin machine for the political Right? Sure, and he's right, virtually every other network has been chugging away with the Left side for quite a while. Neither of which is important. What's important is fox is GETTING IT IN THE ASS with a rusty hammer. And band saw. And concrete drill. With the cord still attached so everyone KNOWS whats happening.

Pardon the bitter.

PS. With all the misspellings going on around the web, I would be surprised you noticed if it weren't for the fact that you used his misspelling to jump down on him. His spelling proved your point? Ummm, okay.

My dear, you are sadly mistaken if you believe there is such thing as a "left-wing" propaganda machine. TV networks are owned by the rich are the rich are inherently conservative. You should read a book called: What Liberal Media?
[/political debate]

However, I regret my politicization of what should be a celebration of FOX getting its just deserts for cancelling every good show they've gotten their claws into.

Personally, I'd prefer no gorramn propaganda in the first place.
