The issue is not that Fox cancels their "good" shows.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The issue is the fact that Fox aims for and largely hits the demographic that is represented by this board and internet posters in general.

Other networks do the same fucking thing as Fox and probably just as often. You're just giving them undue credit/blame in this department because you're watching more stuff that they offer.

So you get that many more fanbois bemoaning the cancellation of Family Guy or Firefly not because they're a Fox program, but because Fox attracts that demographic.

Last I checked all the networks were wiping out significant portions of their primetime lineups on a yearly basis. You're just not watching them.</div>
