Im glad they finally figured the follie of their ways with cancelling the show. I never understood why they did. Stupid crappy timeslots. Timeslots were also the demise of "Andy Richter controls the Universe".

Timeslots shall pay.

Yes, FOX has canceled so many great shows while letting crap survive. Anybody remember Titus?

If you have Digital Cable/Sattelite, if you get the Nicktoons channel, its on everyday at around 2pm central I believe (could be 3 pm central), 6:30 central I believe, and 9pm central (also 7-8am central)...can you tell I still love that show

But on topic, Family Guy and an entire season pickup - awesome! now bring back Futurama

Andy Richter Controls the Universe was really great. Then they bring him back on that crappy family sitcom which I believed got pulled too. I've stopped watching TV except for Scrubs and Committed (which seems won't be returning next season either

)

Let me know if you have success finding them. The few episodes I've downloaded were all corrupt with messed up sound or warped picture. Nickelodeon could make some serious money if they put the TV shows from the 1990s on DVD sets:

- Salute Your Shorts
- Hey Dude
- Rocko's Modern Life
- Ren & Stimpy
- Doug (the original series)
- Are You Afraid of the Dark
- Pete and Pete
- etc...

I would certainly buy if for nothing more than just being able to relive these bits of childhood I miss so much...

As for Family Guy, I've haven't seen all the episodes yet. I've only watched it a few times at my friends and on TV. I need to get the DVD set. It's a funny show.

That site appears to be dead, due to lack of bandwidth.

Fox cant control what people watch and what they dont. theres a lot of idiots out there, how else can the success of AOL be explained?

if no one watches a show, be it a good show or bad show, it has to be dealt with, or they're losing money. they cant just keep it around because they know its good.

Fox sort of can control what people watch.

If they give a show, for example, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, a horrible timeslot, say 10pm, then not as many people would watch it. Because kids would be put to bed, and some people are sleeping for work. But say they put the show on at 8. Then more people could watch it.

For no reason, I would like to express my love for Arrested Development. I love that show. Its pure genious, it really is. The way they write it, and film it as if it was a documentary is genious and refreshing in ways.

That reminds me, Arrested Development probably won't be coming back next season

Yeah, that is one of the biggest crimes of them all. Such a funny show, and they even made them end this season early to put on American Dad...Lame. Apparently the only reason that Fox even let it have a second season was because of the critical acclaim and the emmys in won, otherwise it would have been canned earlier.

Yeah, but you can't really blame FOX for people not watching it, they gave it a pretty good timeslot. Right after Simpsons, what else is on at that time? Also I've learned that Arrested Development is an aqquired taste.

PS I just watched SNL last night, it was the one were Jason Bateman hosted. Good times.

Watched the new Family Guy earlier today (courtesy of the internet) and I thought it was pretty good. Not the best episode ever, but it gave me a good amount of laughs.
