1) Fox, like many networks, mishandles the majority of their shows

2) My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, and ALL the reality shows on FOX ("Americon Idol" "The Swan" etc)

3) Fox News sucks

4) MADtv

5) The upcoming, horribly innapropriate and in terrible taste feature film, "The Day After Tomorrow"-does this nation really NEED a movie about MORE horrendous events befalling us?

1) Wonderfalls

2) Space Above and Beyond(I believe that was fox)

3) Reality TV shows NOT being canceled.

4) The simpsons still exists, along with family guy now, and futurama doesn't.(not that either show is bad, just futurama is better)

5) Gotta agree with the other guy, fox news.

1) Firefly
2) Space: Above and Beyond
3) The 4 hour Star Trek Saturdays (That may just have been my local station who had that then stopped it)
4) Jon Doe
5) That Fox logo in all my Firefly DVDs and VHS copies reminding me what they done. (But it does give me a chance to boo at it!)

Aside from the obvious Firefly reason, I hate Fox because:

1) They cancelled "Wonderfalls";
2) They cancelled "Greg the Bunny";
3) Instead of letting the "X-Files" die a dignified death, they tried to carry on with Mulder AWOL most of the last two seasons and beat it into the ground in an attempt to milk every last shred of life out of it;
4) Their endless parade of obnoxious reality shows is ushering in the fall of civilization;
5) And because Fox news is NOT fair and balanced.

1) The ruination of Sliders (I could fill a whole post with the laugh-out-loud stupid things they did to that show. In fact, maybe I will)

2) The premature cancellations of Futurama and The Critic

3) All their degrading reality shows... but especially Temptation Island (Eww.)

4) The encroachment of ads into shows themselves (as Early creeps aboard, we are warned that JOE MILLIONAIRE PREMIERES JANUARY 6, and when Simon gets shot, we learn of an ALL NEW JOHN DOE NEXT)

5) The shambling corpse of The Simpsons being permitted to go on making a mockery of itself, while one much worthier new project after another falls by the wayside because it can't instantly rival the Simpsons' ratings

1) Cancelling Wonderfalls at episode 4

2) their love of low quality reality TV shows(i read somewhere on another forum that reality tv is for people who dont have windows in their houses!)

3) Their inability to sensibly promote a new show

4)Their clever tactic to stop new fans getting interested in new quality shows by screwing up the running order.

5)They start showing decent TV, then set it up to get cancelled.

I'm not bitter. grrrr.

1) Cancellation John Doe. Next to another shiny show, I was a big fan of the concept, the actors, and the story.
2) Cancellation of Wonderfalls. After four episodes? Are you nuts ? Ok, I can see the point of those who cry 'copy cat/knock off of Joan of Arcadia' , but so what ? It was progressing at its own pace and giving some very good show. Hell, you tell me this show wasn't better than Malcome in the middle ? You're nuts.

3) Cacellation of Dark Angel. Taking Jessica Alba off the air is a crime in an of its self. Ok, I feel the writing was growing thin in it's 2nd season, but give the girl a chance.

4) The dumbing down of the American t.v viewer. ANY and I mean ANY GORRAM "reality" show that Fox shows is taking the collective I.Q. down another level. Reality T.V., not fast food , will sound the death knell for America.. you mark my words. Hey Reality shows... off and die!!!

5) For ever thinking that I'd give a damn about some cheesy Fast Lane show. Should have left what was on before that pile of go se aired. ( See? I didn't say it ! )

Other than Firefly (and not just its cancellation, but almost worse, their extreme interference with joss's creative process, and 'watering-down' of the final product)...

1) Cancelling Millennium (and 'overproducing' season 2 and 3 ...particularly the 3rd).

2) Cancelling Wonderfalls and not showing a reasonable fraction of the already-completed episodes.

3) Reality tv. especially The Swan!!

4) FOX news

5) Not cancelling Tru Calling
