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.
