  • Family Guy being revived, but if it airs on Fox again how the hell long is it gonna last?!

<div style='font: 10pt Impact; text-align: left; '>Well, the ones they should have axed got it. Look at SKIN, 2 episodes, the first one was pretty good, the second one was so-so. Over-hyped in my opinion. It was like Fox was trying to steal wind from the O.C.</div>

<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>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I think it's more of a matter of Fox not knowing what the hell our "demographic" is. You'd be surprised how much shit is still on Fox's airwaves.</div>
