I fucking hate this channel. Let’s count the number of AMAZING shows, some of which developed cult like followings, that FOX has canceled over the years. First and foremost, Firefly. Easily in my opinion the greatest show to ever exist, and I think the IMDB ratings agree at a 9.5/10 with 32,000+ votes. I am a huge Joss Whedon nut, so maybe I’m biased a bit, but this show is what made me a Joss Whedon nut. I liked Buffy and I loved Angel but Firefly is really what did me in. Anyways, this carries on to the next problem: Dollhouse. Again, one of my favorite TV shows currently running, and just got canned. Another one of Joss’s masterpieces, and there’s but a few episodes left. Why Whedon stays with fox, nobody will ever know.

Let’s look at some others:
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles – Why? It’s not like the show had bad ratings.
Titus – Considered by me to be one of the best comedies ever to air.
Dark Angel – Jessica Alba, I don’t need to say more. But it was actually a good show too.
Drive – Lasted 4 episodes, only aired 2 more ONLINE. What a fucking rip, I wanted to see this season SO bad.
Family Guy – While I’m not a fan, it’s easy to see how popular this show became. Why this show was canceled is beyond me.
Futurama – This show filled the void that was being left behind by the Simpsons continuing WAY past their prime and South Park only having a few gems a season.
Arrested Development – Come on FOX, why do you hate the world?

In conclusion, fuck FOX and their stupid ratings driven boner.

    I love the fall TV line up :)

      I like TV more than movies because the story has to continue over a much longer period of time. My favorite part about watching something be it television, theater, or movies is character development. It’s why I love the Matrix trilogy so much, you see so many characters grow and become different people to fulfill the roles required by their situations. Morpheus plays father, mentor, and captain; Trinity plays lover, wife, temptress, and conscience. Neo obviously goes through the most, starting as a plugged in human….anyways, I digress. I like dramatic television series because the amount of time the writers have with their audience requires a much more involved character, one who doesn’t have some single event in their past that defines them, but rather a much longer past that allows you to explore within their psyche to see what makes them tick. This is why I watch so much TV, I fall in love with the characters after only a couple episodes and then I have to watch the entire series no matter how bad it may become.

      and FYI, Firefly is the greatest show ever made, and I would trade every single show on my fall line up for just one more season of Firefly. God dammit Joss Whedon, why do you rock so hard?
