It has not been officially announced yet, but people working for the show have confirmed that there will not be a 4th season. This sucks. Just posting here because I thought you guys would like to know.

Because it has not been officially announced, there is no link to backup my report. I'm just passing along information from some trusted people over at atfg.

I hope not. I love that show. I don't want to see low-brow programming go off the air. Nate

The show started to come into a "groove" the past three episodes... it was okay.

I watched the Tick for the first time last night. It should remain on for, if nothing else, Captain Liberty.

And, I don't say things like this often either...

They are probably hte best four shows Fox airs (The Simpsons, Family Guy, Malcolm, The Tick)...none should be canceled yet, though I guess the end is coming soon to the Simpsons...

Hey, this was the best shot it was ever gonna get, and it didn't happen. I mean, a regular time slot, on a night when not just losers are home, and Survivor doesn't pull the numbers it used to. If it couldn't make it happen this time, it never will.

WHAT! This was the WORST night to be up against. Compeating with survivor and Friends! Nobody could do that!

Survivor is passe, and Friends is fading. This was Family Guy's big chance to score.

I respectfully disagree.

Although survivor doesn't pull the numbers it used to it still pulls higher ratings than most shows and putting Family Guy up against it was not very helpful. Although it was the first time it's had a regular time slot. It's just one of those shows that I really care if I miss it. It's funny and I like to watch it, but it's not one that I make sure I'm in front of the TV for.

You can't take a low rated comedy and put it in a spot that it compteting with two #1 rated shows and think its going to win its timeslot.

NOW...if they put MITM in that slot are you saying that they would get good ratings. No chance in hell.

What they should have done was move the family guy to the sunday at 8:30 slot. Then they would have promoted it...since every other comercial break is about there sunday line-up.

The truth is they wanted the show to fail. They put it in a terrible slot, with no advertising.

I bet one of the higher ups at Fox loves the show and thats the reason it keep coming back.

They NEED to get rid of the nielson familys. They should track what people watch using our cable boxes. They would also count when we tape it becuase we want to watch surivivor or friends, they watch the family guy right after.

my 2 cents..

<<WHAT! This was the WORST night to be up against. Compeating with survivor and Friends! Nobody could do that!>>

Also, WWF Smackdown diverted the key male 18-24 demographic, further reducing the audience or potential audience. Unless Family Guy was to air on Sunday, Wednesday would be the best alternative, but that didn't happen and now that the hyped 80's Show is on Wednesdays at 8:00, that possibility is remote. Yet another good program that Fox ruined.

Oviously you have never watched the show...cause if you did you couldn't say that.

No. To watch a show is to watch the whole season then make an opinion. I bet he saw 2 eps then said that it was crap. The Critic had the same problem. Great show...bad viewers.

Let me state an example:

When southpark first came on the air. I made an opinion before the show started. It took me an entire season to get over the beginning hatred over something different. Now I fully enjoy the show.

Yes, but the problem is that you assume that because he said it was crap that he didn't watch many episodes. Because you don't think it is crap you can't possibly imagine the possibility that someone who has seen just as many episodes as you thinks it IS crap. You assumed because his opininion differed from yours that his wasn't an informed opinion.

The series is great. Its not an opinion its a FACT. If he says its crap then he oviously hasn't given it a chance.

OK, let's go over this. There is no such thing as a person's own personal opinion.

You, mcrapper, declare something and then there are people who agree with you and people who disagree with you who are wrong.

Is that what you're trying to say?

I've more than half the episodes. And my opinion is that the show steals all it's best gag from the simpsons, south park, and even ren and stimpy. Whenever I watched the show I laughed a lot, but they were all cheap laughs based on some ridiculous site gag. The show just isn't intelligent. I never feel fulfilled after watching an episode of FG. However, after watching and episode of the simpsons or south park I feel that I've witnessed a work of genius. (most of the time)

Why is it a fact just because that is what you believe? Why is it impossible for you to understand that you thinking it is great is an OPINION and his thinking it is crap is also and OPINION. These things are purely subjective, there is no fact or fiction...only subjective opinions.

When South Park first came on the air, I made an opinion AFTER watching a few episodes that the show sucked, every episode I've accidentally seen since I've thought has sucked, and now a few of my friends who thought SP was all that have come around to my assertion that the show sucks. It's just like X-Files. Eventually, the viewing public comes around to understand (like me!) which shows suck.

On Sun, 27 Jan 2002, [email] stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -

The thing is, most people decide very quickly whether they like a show or not, and therefore consider it a waste of time forcing themselves to watch it on the off-chance they might start to like it.

For example, it took me only 10 minutes to decide I couldn't stand Malcolm in the Middle, and the occasional bits I've caught since have given me no reason to change that impression.

I wish Comedy Central would pick it up. It's a pretty funny show, but too crude for network television.
