As I am sitting here watching the NFC divisional playoffs, I am realizing that NFL football
is the only thing I watch any of the Fox channels. I am seeing the commercials for their entertainment programming during the game, and I have no desire to watch any of their crap. It's not because it is on Fox, it is just crap.

1. I personally think the Simpsons are great
I'll watch Hell's Kitchen but that seems to be about it. I can't think of other programs they got though, I don't watch a lot of network TV even though I don't have cable. I mostly watch TV Guide Channel and that isn't a joke. TV Guide Channel has some very good shows.

2. Not to date myself, but I remember watching the Simpsons after the 49'ers beat the Bengals
in the Super Bowl in the late 80's.

:hide:

I don't think I have watched the Simpsons since the early 90's.

3. I used to watch The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Until the bastards canceled it. They have reality TV on almost every night of the week, but a TV show with an intriguing plot must have taken too much effort or something. It's much more important to have a 3rd night of American Idol or some such fluff than anything that really requires creativity.

9. Dollhouse was great, too.
And then they were in such a hurry to wrap up the second season and cancel the show that the two-part finale that they hastily scrapped together wasn't even shown in full. They skipped the first part of it and only aired the second, so that the whole thing made just about no sense at all.

Simpsons, Family Guy and the Gordon Ramsay shows are about the only things on that network I watch anymore.

10. Dollhouse was awesome
Sadly, FOX leaves the high concept shows out to dry on Friday nights.

12. Same here-Recall that in Fox's first years, "Married With Children"
Edited on Sun Jan-16-11 11:21 PM by old mark
caused scandals in the "religious" right because of the "values" the show evidently didn't have...Still one of the best programs ever on Fox, sadly decades old now.

I watch the games on Fox, but not the pre-game shows and nothing else, ever...there is nothing worthwhile.

18. I think their writers started running out of ideas about halfway through their run,
but for a few years, it was one of the most subversive, savagely funny shows on any network ever. And even near the end, they still had their moments.
