I'm tellin' ya'. The programming department at F*x have got their heads so far up their collective pigu they can see yesterday's dinner. Could they be more clueless? I don't think so.

It's not like their lineup is sooo crammed full of goodies that they just can't find room for new shows, either. Everything on F*x is crap, with the exception of House, M.D., and they keep dicking that show over to cater to American iHole. :vomit:

F*x needs a high colonic. Bad. Right now.

Disgustedly,

zoid

P.S. I hope that kid that can't sing wins the whole shebang this year. I know a whole slew of hackers are war-dialing his digits, in hopes of harpooning the blight on the gluteals of television known as Am*ric*n Id*l. _________________________________________________

...and how iHole screws over House! Why can't they have it screw over something worthless? ...As in, 'any other show in their lineup'.

Oh, please, God. Please let the little Indian/Pakistani boy/girl win! Dear Lord, give us surcease from American Idolatry. I despise that show and everything it stands for...

Prayerfully, -zed

Huh. Sadly, I can't say I'm surprised. Tim, Nathan, Amy. . . on Fox. Do the math.

The half-season at a time thing has become Fox's trademark of late. Remember how Prison Break got that big four-month break in the middle of the season?

This is sad news indeed. There is a whole thread going on over at Whedonesque about this... some folks trying to paint the news from a positive slant- reminding us, as my daughter did that ABC did this same thing with Grey's Anatomy only with a few more eps shown the first time round. It was still insanely popular upon it's return, so I suppose if you're the glass half full kind of person you can look at it that way. I tend to be more of a realist and fear it will hurt it.

As for AI... that juggernaut and it's ilk in the form of all of those other inane reality shows continue to burn up the charts according to my latest Entertainment Weekly. I find it sad. I miss stories... real character driven, moving, make me want to tune in every week stories. Only House and Bones have those qualities on F*X.

I think they just want to make sure people really want the show by ruining it's chances so if people still want it then they will have to keep tuning in to FOX the bastards.

Thank you! It often seems like I'm the only one who isn't entranced by those horrid reality shows. Fox really only has like two shows that it has had forever and that's all they feel like they need I guess. Anyways...there's no real words that can describe my feelings towards Fox. So here's an emoticon: :pissed:

Although f*x can suck my big...*#%#. I have to say that this doesnt appear to be direct sabotage as was the case with Firefly. From what I heard, the release date which has already been pushed back once is now set in stone due to all the advertising already aired. Unfortunately the shooting of the show may be behind schedule and that is the reason for the mid season break.

Now this may indeed be due to the lame management of new shows by f*x but I still dont see its anything like the firefly slaying we saw many years ago.

Lets hope this is the only screw up we see for the 1st season, if they announce they are skipping the pilot and shuffling the order of episodes then ill be the first one to send them some hate mail.

I hate this! I don't understand the logic behind splitting up a season. They did that to Prison Break, too. I'm sure they have a reason, I just can't figure out what it is. Anyone wanna take a guess?

There ain't much in the 'verse I'd like better right now than to win the lottery and buy the whole gorram f*x channel! Then we'd see what kinda quality tv can really be worth attention. First on the agenda - Death to the reality shows!!! Mwahahaha*coughcough*haha!!

So have the decided to run the episodes out of order again? perhaps they are making them shoot another more "exciting episode" to start with.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Not good news at all. They are going to show six episodes of "Drive" then show the remainder at a later, undisclosed date. WTF?!? Is Fox deliberately trying to torpedo "Drive"? The link shows Fox putting on repeats of Simpsons and King of the Hill for the most part during the hiatus. They are insane.
