Evil network?

[Fast Learner]

Wow, yeah, HBO could definitely do an aweseom Preacher.

FOX, because I thought it should be the on-air "SCI-FI" network for non-cable viewers.

After all, UPN is pretty much the son of BET, CBS is for intelligent mature viewers (CSI and 60 Minutes), NBC is for comedy viewers (My Name is Earl and "Must-See TV Thursday"), and ABC is for Disney viewers (yes, even Desperate Housewives and NYPD Blue are not to risque for Disney).

none. Some the shows mention here were just crap the first season and unlike the 70s and early 80s where a powerful producer could get a full season aired and hope the show pick up numbers in the summer months, today the show has to get the numbers quickly.
Firefly hmm I been watching it in order now that Scifi has but I am sorry is a bad as the first season of Voyager with out the support of a history. The only good thing about Firefly is it is first time you had a crew of mostly scum instead of federation clones.
Dark Angel clone ninja eyecandy who bicycle delievery girl. Story lines got worse as the second season began and I quit watching.

I vote none of the above. Sure some people at the organizations might have made bad or biased choices,b ut the firms themselves are completely amoral and far removed from the concept of evil. Especially for something relatively minor like cancelling entertainment programs.

That makes no sense to me at all. "Is valueless"?

Yeah, that's what I said. Sorry you didn't understand my post.

So if instead of putting those shows on and cancelling them, they instead they'd filled the slots with black-oriented sitcoms and Cops spinoffs -- you know, they're valueless afterall, so it doesn't matter what they'd show --

This makes no sense to me at all.

I'm not gonna vote at all because I find the idea of an "evil network" kind of silly.

My assumption was that the use of the word "evil" in the original post/poll is kind of tongue-in-cheek. Not literal.

Fox. By far.

They're the network of "OK, here's something you really love. We're going to give you just enough to get you hooked, then treat the show like crap, change its timeslot 47 billion times, then cancel it for bad ratings, right after a cliffhanger saeson finale."

Ditto everyone else. What's frustrating is that they keep giving the shows a chance, but then pre-empting them for baseball and cancelling them. Maybe we're just uninformed viewers, and Fox is giving a chance to shows that no other network was going to pick up, but it looks like they buy the shows and then manage them poorly.

A lot of problems would be solved right away by Fox getting out of the sports business, or, more realistically, by Fox not starting its fall season until after baseball is over.

 

[KaosDevice]

Fox all the way.

Lone Gunment, Firefly, Freakylinks, Harsh Realm, I could go on and on and on...

Yeah, going by the responses of this thread so far, it seems that a more accurate title for the poll would have been "Which network are you the most bitter towards because a show you liked didn't do well and got canceled and it's all the fault of those mean and/or stupid network executives who greenlighted it in the first place."
