*laughs sarcastically* this is funny...more than giving them my help these people make me want to punch them in the face. They cancelled Firefly and ACTUALLY pretend we should help.

Really fux...go where to came from - the special level of hell!

And merry xmas!

I'm torn, they did let Joss try again, and they did keep Dollhouse for a second season,......maybe, and thats a big maybe, if we help them out, maybe they would re-consiter(sp) putting that 'space cowboy' show back on in some way.
I will post but only by reminding them that THE Bowncoats are trying to help, and they should return the favor.
It is Christmas, after all.

Be careful. Paying any attention whatsoever to Fox's site might unintentionally aid their cause. All they might do at the end of the day is rheel off statistics. X amounts of visits to the site. Y amount of comments from concerned viewers. They won't destinguish good or bad. They'll spin the numbers in their favor and end up with the leverage they need.

To hell with FOX. I posted a comment explaining why they won't be receiving my support because of what they did to Firefly. I'm sure I won't see that comment aired anytime soon.

They got the defiant “ I won’t support you!” response from me. The last time I did try to watch anything on that network was when Tim’s tv show DRIVE was on. That didn’t last but 4 episodes. Haven’t watched a thing on there since then.

I won’t miss ‘em

This sounds like a chicken and egg thing. Who really needs whom here? Fox will suffer without the numbers from Time-Warner, but Time-Warner will be beseiged by irate viewers and suffer if Fox is gone from their line-up. The whole thing is a bit surrealistic, and because it's all about money and greed, I don't give a damn!

Unfortunantly, i agree with you on the whole T-W/Bright House v. FOX thing. BUT, don't you think that FOX desrves what is happening to them? I mean they cancel GREAT shows, like Firefly, TSCC, Dark Angel, and other's and they keep crap on like American Idol, and Glee? WHo watches this shit for anything other than laughs. Well maybe the people who vote on A.I., but GLEE?????????????? And they cancel DOLLHOUSE? I mean i know that i didn't watch much of the show, but come on. They did to it what they did to Dark Angel, Firefly, and it's predecessor, TSCC. They put it on the Friday, virtually giving up on the show before it got a chance to get good. Now they pulled dick moves like they did with DARK ANGEL, and FIREFLY, and cancelled it in the middle of the season (FIREFLY), and they gave a big Finger to the fans, (All Four). So i say FOX get's what it deserves. I mean i'll only miss my Friday Night Smackdown, my Undertaker (in a creepely Paul Bearer sounding voice), but i still have Raw, and all the other shows i like. Who knows, this could open up spots for new channels to get notariety? But that probably woun't happen because TW/ Bright House will cave like they did last time, and keep their Nelson points.

BTW, why do we STILL use the Nelson TV system any way? It's outdated, and causes many a good show to be cancelled because only two out some fifty odd houses watch the shows, but they account for ALL the houses in their mythical "voting" area. That's just the problem with statistics, they can be easily manipulated to read one way.

I'm shocked that they caved. I have DirecTV and if they ever jack up the price for the "local channels" I'd just cancel that service. I already have rabbit ears for the over the air HD channels and they come in just fine. Why would I pay $1 per local channel per month?
