Are you implying that Mynameisjonas is a TROLL? Now that you mention it, I bet you're right! :)
I'm getting tired of the "Fox is a business" rejoinder the trolls haul out here. If Fox is a business, it should act like one. Real businesses, when they have a product to sell, put some effort into advertising it and making sure it's (predictably) accessible to the people they're selling it to. They realize that it will take some time to recover their investment, and they pay attention to customer comments about it.
And in the end, real businesses make progress. Fox has lost 600,000 primetime viewers through their programming decisions.
So I think they're acting more like a jester than a business. QED.

They are a business not your personel jester.

and before you start with the fox didn't give it a chance, friday deathslot, its to good for them.
The very first episode got terrible ratings and as ratings only ever go down as the season goes on, it was no suprise they stopped it mid season.

Wow, thanks for clarifying that for me! I appreciate the dose of fair and balanced business logic.
To clarify my question: The product was obviously one of quality. Why couldn't these business-saavy TV executives figure out a way to market and develop it into a money-making series? Why not run the shows in order, for instance?
Regardless MynameisJonas, that was way too much vitriol for a post that was essentially a "hello" to the board.
Whatever,

Hey Cmagoun, nicely said re: vitriol at your hello.
Jonas there is himself incompetent at goodbyes: check the "Zoid appreciation thread" from two months ago in which our little goober posts:

If only it were true. He could be "whatching" something on Fox right now instead of baiting us to get that sweet, sweet attention.
