Why does FOX have Futurama's series premire debut so late? December 9? We'd have to wait a whole other month to see it again. Can't they just move it to another time-slot? Like Thursdays after Family Guy or something? I've been finding myself reading the Futurama comic books to make up for it!

9?

Baseball, Football, Etc....

No because to try and apply common sense to a TV network you would first need to assume they care.

Fox cares! Just not about viewers. They care about profits. They care about sponsors. Viewers are not their customers, we are the product they sell. The customers are the companies that pay for ads. The product is the attention of the viewers. So, would Ford care if their cars are happy? No, just the people who buy them.

December

Uhh I own a Ford ('94 T-bird, the good kind not the crappy 2 seaters)and I can say they don't really care if the people who buy their cars are happy. They just care that they buy them. Don't forget, Company's hate you because you get in the way of them getting your money.

Because FOX is full of dorks. Also, there's the World Series and *ugh* "Temptation Island 2."

Better than December 10.

No.

No.

Junkie. Seek help.

Yes eventually you will acclimate to the small BBC like doses of Futurama that FOX grants us from time to time.

In France, the season 3 (yeah three !) premiere is gonna be broadcasted on February (and the season 4 in february 2003) And worse, They broadcast one episode per day so in ONE month, all the season is diffused (and we have to wait one more year to watch futurama again)... no comment...
