You have to remember that a tv show's fandom is no longer just the slobs with the nielsen boxes that watch a show first-run on network tv. Studios now take into account licensing worldwide, and DVD sales. It will be very interesting to see what the ratings are for Family Guy this Sunday. I expect them to be the same as they used to be. But the difference is that those ratings are now good enough to keep the show in production, because of all the other money it makes. that's the idea that fox has put forth in interviews over the past year, so now lets see what happens.How is that relevant? Well, the point is that while you obviously want and even NEED new  fans, that you also don't want to lose the hardcore crazy people who but the DVDs and the merchandise and travel hours to go see a movie preview.</blockquote>
