It pulled a 4.2 rating at 7:30 vs. the 4.6 rating that Futurama had a half hour before.

You know there's some stupid network politics going on. I wish some lurking Fox suit would please explain it.

Basically, Fox owns the Simpsons. Matt Groening was way too little to get a network show and own it too. By the time Futurama came out, he was a pretty powerful name and he did keep ownership. For that reason, Fox doesn't care as much about the success of Futurama.

I don't know what the deal is with King of the Hill. The creators did do Beavis and Butthead plus the Sick and Twisted Animation Festivals, but they hadn't done a network show. If Fox owns it outright, they are more likely to promote it and keep it going.

If anyone from Fox is lurking here, I know how to flush them out:

"Hey, you from Fox. You look like dorks!"

As amusing as this is, you REALLY think someone from and/or working with/at Fox is going to open his/her mouth and say, I work there, what can I do to help?

They'd be an open target for spam, hate, love, e-mails from around the planet...

I can't blame them for keeping shut! :)
