Strike 3 for FOX

Well, to use baseball terminology, it's strike 3 for FOX for it's jerking around of KOTH fans.

Strike 1: The "Hill's are moving to Hollywood" stunt, which even FOX admitts "misfired"

Strike 2: Moving the show to Tuesday nights

Strike 3: Postponing the show due to a baseball game (a game which was also being shown on WGN)

Next week, I'm taping the opener and will watch it the following Sunday night to see the conclusion of the cliffhanger. Then I'm through with KOTH and FOX. I'll pick the show back up when it goes to syndication.

BTW, it's really strike 4 for FOX after the way they treated the Dr Who fans

You're a smart one you are. The FOX network is juggling with our show. They don't know the kind of hit they got . By the way what was with the Hollywood thing. was that one of those cheap things they needed to boost ratings that were good and high already?

They don't know? That's why they are moving it to Tuesdays, showing that they believe it can carry an new night of programming? I think they know exactly how popular this show is.

The Hollywood stunt misfired, although I thought it was hilarious how upset some fans got. So what? They can't make mistakes? What's wrong with moving a show? Sure, I miss it on Sundays, but then again I missed Simpsons when it moved away from Thursdays - but I love it now. I missed X-Files when they moved it from Fridays, but its great now. I won't touch the baseball game again.

well I think we all know what happens when networks make mistakes. there called ABC and NBC. NBC let Davie go and it became a hit. No matter how many Conan's you stick up you will not get a letterman. And for there sake they better hold on to leno. and ABC? tgif. It used to be a hit. it's getting stupid because of the show formatting. they let Urkel go to. If fox thought they could carry it to a new day then they should of put it on Thursday's that could use ratings. I'm a huge KOTH fan but I got better things to watch on Tues. not Thurs. If you ask me KOTH has suffered 21 strikes (which I wan't name)

Well, I have better things to do on Thurs, not Tues. That's a pointless fight against FOX. No matter what night they put it on, someone will bitch. People are probably pissed that its on Sundays - are they wrong?

BTW - Thursday is doing quite well for FOX. Plus, if you think KOTH can compete with Friends, you might want to take a Programming 101 lesson.

I think this is the whole issue hear. I think I wouldn't have mind the baseball interuption as much if Fox hadn't been screwing with things for the last 4 months.

What were they screwing with? They moved it to Tuesdays early, everyone knew they were and they double ran it until the premiere. How is that screwing around - or am I missing something?

Have we forgot the whole move to Hollywood already?
