Mikie2times Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I just don't understand it, Fox has one of the hottest comedies on television, a show that just got done with a multi year layoff, and after a couple of shows they take two weeks off. Anybody know what the deal is? Is this hiatus part of the Family Guy contract, or is Fox dropping the ball on this one? I will admit that one week off certainly built anticipation to see the show the following week. But now after two weeks I'm just getting pissed off. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the public would rather watch Star Wars, or NASCAR, but I severely doubt it. Damn you FOX!!! Give me my Family Guy!!

MrLocke Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I could see for Nascar but not for Starwars. People are going to lose interest imo and forget to turn in. It is like Fox does not want this show to be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of BiB Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 The 600 comes on once a year. And, there are a lot of NASCAR fans. FOX has a contract. I guess they could void it so you could get your 30 minutes of Cheetos fingers har har...but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loadofmularkey Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'll concede NASCAR, but I still can B word about Star Wars last week. 347583[/snapback] According to Seth McFarlane on "Loveline" a few weeks back, he was made fully aware of Fox's plans to show Star Wars and then NASCAR. The racing is contractual and they wanted the network premiere of Ep. II to coincide with opening weekend of Ep. III. Don't worry though, I did see a Family Guy promo for next week...

Fezmid Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Damn you FOX!!! Give me my Family Guy!! 347549[/snapback] Fox is run by a bunch of buffoons. They cancelled Family Guy, only to have it be WIDLY successful in DVD sales and fan interest so they bring it back later. They cancel Firefly (after showing the Pilot episode last ), only to have it be the #1 selling DVD on Amazon for several weeks and to completely sell out the 1,000,000 (yes, 1 million) production run in a matter of DAYS and to then have Universal buy the rights to make a movie (http://www.serenitymovie.com and http://www.cantstopthesignal.com) that, if it does well, will expand into a trilogy. (FWIW, Family Guy is "only" ranked #200 at Amazon right now). They cancel Wonderfalls, a highly original and quirky show, after FOUR episodes. They cancel Tru Calling after the first season, change their mind and renew it for a second season, cancel filming during the summer after only six episodes, decide to show them in January, then decide to not show the "season finale" episode... Huh? I'm not really sure what Fox's target demographic is, other than "stupid americans who love American Idol and Simple Life and Americas Craziest Police Chases." I wish they'd just not touch the real shows and let some other network buy the rights so they'd at least stand a chance. BTW - Firefly is still the #43 highest selling DVD at Amazon.com, and it's been out for years. If you havn't seen it, you should; even though there's only ~15 episodes, they're all awesome. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...&s=dvd&n=507846 CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
