Oh, come on.
If you were up for a promotion but another guy who could do the job just as weel got it over you, would you blame him? Maybe you would, but what if the two of you don't even know each other. He wasn't out to get you. It was your boss, the guy who chose the promotion.
MITM is a good show. If anybody's killing Futurama, it's Fox and not them.
-Fraggler?
If there wasn't MITM Fox would have still bumped Futurama for shows like "Normal, Ohio".

I've seen that happen here at work. There are some really smart guys who know a lot, but their managers are intimidated by them, so they give them bad reviews and don't promote them. Then there are some real idiots who kiss their managers butts, they get promoted. It is a good analogy of Malcom and Futurama in my opinion.
While I don't think Malcolm is a good show, I agree that it is FOX that is killing the show. It just happens that Malcolm is on during the best time slot for Futurama.

On Thu, 21 Dec 2000, Paul Tomko stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -
By contrast, Futurama's ratings are starting to pick up on UK terrestrial TV - last week reaching over 2m for the 1st time. Pity they've just about shown all the S1 episodes now.
True enough. Futurama has never had a really good or permanent time slot, and the show deserves it. I also enjoy Malcom in the middle, but I think Fox either needs to give Futurama a new slot elsewhere or switch it with King of the Hill, which in my opinion is the least creative of the sunday lineup.
