Fox LA is treating Futurama *REALLY WELL*

Some Fox LA execs should move to Fox USA. Besides promoting Futurama very regularly (Season 4 starts this sunday and there are several promos running on the channel every day), and keeping it in the Sundays 8PM timeslot where it has ALWAYS been, Futurama's also been on *EVERY DAY* (including weekends) at 8:30 AM (not the best time, but still - if you missed an episode, there's your chance for taping), and on tuesdays 8:00PM as well (repeating the ep from sundays).

And, last tuesday, Futurama was shown THREE TIMES. It was shown at 8:30AM as usual (Amazon Women in the Mood), then at 4:00PM (Luck of the Fryish), then at 8:00PM (didn't see it, but most likely another episode). No bullshit; check the Fox LA's programming page: http://www.mundofox.com/index.html/nodeID/B1A813EC-90DA-4DC0-95E1-9F75F8A73827/timeZone/AR/getYear/2002/getMonth/06/getDay/4

Sundays's lineup at Fox LA is: 19:00: Los Reyes de la colina (King of the Hill) 19:30: Malcolm (in the Middle) 20:00: Futurama 20:30: Los (The) Simpson

So, who wants to kidnap some Fox LA execs and put 'em in the place of Fox USA's execs?

Sounds to me like what you consider to be "treating really well", I consider "using as filler".

Either way, it's on the air, so more power to them.

I don't think they treat Futurama that well. They merely treat it better than Fox USA, which isn't saying much.

Remember, the fourth season is starting this sunday, when it could have started in January or February. Same for The Simpsons, they could have started the season more or less at the same time as Fox USA, but they chose to premiere the season after it had ended. And for some reason they keep delaying the premiere each year. Two years ago we got seasons 11 (Simpsons) and 2 (Futurama) in March. Then last year they started in May. And now, for some reason, in June (when everybody's paying more attention to the World Cup than to what's on Fox, even in your site).

Keep in mind that it's a cable network, so there's bound to be some repeating. Fox in particular repeats each of its shows many times, and then they give them a two-month rest. Also, don't expect to see the first two seasons of Futurama on Fox this year. They're gonna repeat the third season all the can.

Still, not much to complain about Futurama in Latin America. At least we get an episode each Sunday.

Yeah, but anyone with a decent cable and a decent TV can hear the original with the SAP.
