1. Cancelling Dark Angel
2. Cancelling John Doe
3. Cancelling Futurama
4. "bringing back" Oliver Beene without actually showing it, only to put it back on "hiatus."
5. Reshuffling their affiliates, moving Ottawa from FOX31 (Rochester) to FOX2 (Detroit), which turns into a news network on Saturdays. No Sonic X, no Shaman King 
, no more Ninja Turtles. More, they did this two weeks after introducing these shows, as if taunting us.

1) Cancelling Firefly. Sorry have to mention this as it the most important reason I will not watch Fox at all.
2) Cancelling Space: Above & Beyond. Loved that show.
3) Reality Shows. I absolutely despise reality shows. There is no reality to these shows and it is painfully obvious they are scripted.
4) Cancelling Greg the Bunny. This show was funny and something my wife and I could both agree on watching.
5) Cancelling Wonderfalls. Sure Fox has cancelled a lot of good shows, but Wonderfalls sticks out for me as it was recent and only 4 episodes was not enough to even give the show a fair chance, especially since they moved it to a new night after only three episodes.
I could go on all day about why Fox sucks, but then again, who couldn't.
"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

I do not HATE Fox, but I think they have made some very poor choices that other networks have not:
1. Canceling of shows that are really good (Firefly, Futurama)
2. Reality shows that are in VERY poor taste and insulting to the contestants and to everyday people
3. Really strange specials like "Man Versus Beast". What the heck was that all about?
4. The local Fox weather guy (that is not really their fault, but it is still associated with them)
5. Giving some shows nine lives and giving other shows no chance
I will give them credit for at least trying to air shows that are not typical mainstream fare. I doubt very much that networks like NBC, CBS or ABC would pick up a show like Firefly. They have gotten away from doing this lately as it seems they have more and more sitcoms and less dramas (actually, have they ever had a true drama?).

1. Killing shows too soon like Wonderfalls and John Doe.
2. Their biased news shows.
3. "Fair and Balanced" or their biased news shows claiming to not be biased.
4. The Swan, My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, and every other low-brow, tasteless, mind numbing crap of the so-called reality genre.
5. Commercials for reality tv, you can't escape them even if you choose to not watch the actual show.

Um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm Angry. And I'm Armed.

For a while (about a month
) ABC had Veritas: The Quest. With as much potential as Firefly, Wonderfalls, or any of the others, Veritas ran like a meld of X-Files and Indiana Jones, with a healthy dose of (movie) Tomb Raider's fancy tech.They showed maybe four episodes (over a six-week period) before ABC switched to 24/7 coverage of the War on Terror(tm).
Can't blame Fox for that one, sadly.

While I don't actually hate Fox as I have a hard time hating a television network and I don't want to bother picking 5 things Fox has done badly I'll just post a recent grievance that has nothing to do with reality television or a cancellation.
Normally 24 airs on Tuesday's however the President's speach preempted 24 last week so what does Fox do rather than waiting 1 week to show the episode they air 24 on Sunday night when it's competing with Alias gosh I'm sure those two shows don't have similar audiences. Plus given the nature of 24 if you miss one episode it's hard to watch the next one.
