I've always liked Futurama better than Family Guy, but they're both good.
Reading that list of old Fox flops made me think about a recent terrible show they ran (or maybe is still running, dunno), Arrested Development. What I wanna know, is why do I hear about that unfunny show getting all these fancy awards? What is so funny about it, either I'm missing something big and just don't get AD's alleged high comedy or the show really is crummy.
It's like when my english teacher made our class go see A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare's "comedy" play. In the middle of the play she would just start cracking up really loud. You're killing me Ms. Whitmore. I think what these crazy critics really like is understanding some allegedly deep show that the masses don't get. So they convince themselves it's funny and give it awards.
Either that or I'm just dumb, eh?

I fell into a burning ring of fire. Went down down down, and the flames went higher.
