garlic powder 01/28/20 3:01:59 PM #1:	It's almost as bad as the Bret Hart screwjob. Why couldn't they give the show the 8:30 timeslot???

Yeah but they kept changing the timeslot and even the day. They moved it to a Tuesday night out of the blue, then back on Sunday at literally 7PM when the show was, more often than not, not even aired (in some places) due to a football game still being on. They never allowed for a base to build. --- What, this isn't Resident Evil? Dying means nothing.

Lost_All_Senses 01/28/20 3:15:26 PM #12:	No idea. Early on I was expecting them to axe Bob's Burgers as well. Just given their rep of not knowing good cartoons, even when made by veterans. Then Adult Swim would of had to do their thing. Since Adult Swim had Home Movies as their very first show ever aired, I feel like they wouldn't let it fail without at least trying. Oops, this is about Futurama. And I thought this related more, but I keep forgetting Comedy Central brought back Futurama the first time. Adult Swim just kept it alive in peoples hearts like they tend to do. --- Name checks out "Stupidity is a spectrum, and we're all on it" - OfDustandBone <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:933606550] in Why did FO...

Lost_All_Senses 01/28/20 3:18:12 PM #15:	krazychao5 posted... arrested development was a fox show right? Yeah. I just watched a video about how it was ahead of it's time because it was made to be binged watched in a time that didn't make doing that easily accessible. It references itself and has so many call backs that it's hard to take everything in while only watching one episode a week. Then again, it did constantly walk you through the call backs. --- Name checks out "Stupidity is a spectrum, and we're all on it" - OfDustandBone <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:933606677] in Why did FO...
