I loved those guys!
I was really upset when they were killed off, of course we didn't see the bodies and we just ASSUME they were killed off. I think the suits have them locked up somewhere.
The Lone Gunmen live!

Just to argue for Futurama: It had good ratings when it was axed, too good to be cancelled.
And for Greg the Bunny: That show was just way too funny and new.
PS. I also miss "Inside Swartz" another great show.

No it didn't! It had awful awful ratings. Of course, it was in a crappy time slot for most of it's run where it received almost literally no promotion.
And FOX never ever aired it on a regular basis. They'd take like six months to air 5 episodes. There was a year and a half between the time the show was cancelled and the time the final episode aired.

I think he means it was doing good on Cartoon Network when Fox axed it =P.
I was amused... shocked, actually, when Fox FINALLY showed the last few episodes... then ended up repeating a couple. I mean, I could have sworn they just repeat King of the Hill and the Simpsons whenever they need to fill space on Sundays...
Speaking of Simpsons and Futurama... anyone catch the former tonight? Matt Groening does his FIRST speaking role on Simpsons and uses it to plug Futurama.

As mentinoed before F&G showed up on Fox Family with some un-aired episodes for a little while. But The show "Undeclared" Which was by Judd Apatow and a bunch of the writers of F&G also I think, Was on fox... For about two weeks and then got the old Fox Axe to the back.
P.S. Get the Freaks and Geeks DVD. Great show.

Wasn't "The Critic" also on FUX?
Guess they got fed up with the constant FUX parody on the show.

I loved "Roar"! I thought I was the only one who had ever heard of that... It would be a great candidate for a dvd release, as the 8 or so episodes told a pretty complete story. I know I'd buy it.
