<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Temptation Island got old and annoying real fast. Family Guy has it's moments, but to me, it's writing doesn't have the consistency to hang with Fox's other animated series like King of the Hill, Futurama, and of course, the Simpsons.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Not since they started contending with ABC, NBC, and CBS. Before that, all they had were different "niche" shows, like Simpsons, X-Files, and Married...With Children, which became mega hits and helped put Fox on the map</div>
