Fox Prolonging Running Wilde's Death Knell

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Good old ridiculous FOX. Clearly not remembering that some of the most popular shows ever (Seinfeld, Friends) had poor ratings for one season, then dramatically picked up in the second season onward.

Maybe if you actually let any shows find their sea legs you'd experience the sort of massive success you're after.

"Raising Hope", and subsequently "My Name is Earl", are two of the most hilarious and well-directed comedy TV-shows ever. Thank you, Garcia, for giving us these masterpieces.

As for "Running Wilde", I really don't watch it so I don't mind if it gets canceled or not..

Poor Christian Slater.

Every show he touches dies, no matter how tight the plot is and solid his acting.

They should just bring back My Own Worst Enemy, and run it for all the seasons Fox's cheated him out of.

That was a great fucking show: interesting premise, tightly scripted espionage/action sequences, and a great acting cast.

I lost faith in good shows making the Fox cut when that show died.

Wasn't My Own Worst Enemy aired on NBC?

Never even heard of it...

You need to market properly, Fox. Had I heard of it, I would totally have watched it.

the show is awful, but fortunately rasing hope does get several chuckles out me.

On the one hand, I hate Running Wilde (and Arrested Development...not Archer though, which is incredible) but on the other, I'm inclined to feel sympathetic to shows being cancelled by Fox after Firefly.
And Futurama
And Dollhouse

Well, somebody owes me 5 seasons of that show!

I never caught it, but the premise seemed to cool and it was off TV before I got a chance to watch it. Slater is awesome in True Romance, one of my favorite movies.

I heard Peter Serafinowicz was in it, caught my attention. Watched the promotional videos (Which you'd expect to contain the funnier clips) and didn't laugh once. ¬_¬

This show is fantastic. I dread the day when someone comes up to me and asks me if I watch it, years after it has been canceled. "Hey do you watch Arrested Development?" "Well, I WATCHED it." The same thing happened with Family Guy. I saw every episode of the first three seasons and then after it was canceled, I had to hear about how great it was and that I should watch it. Then they brought it back and it is horrible and I still have to listen to people talk about how great it is and how much better it is than The Simpsons (it's so not), even though they only watch the reruns. Complain all you want, new Simpsons SLAYS new Family Guy.

American Dad slays Family Guy and New Simpsons.

It's not big of a surprise that a Mitch Hurwitz show gets canceled.

Does anyone even remember Brothers from him?

This ties in well with the Canadian Invasion meeting we held last week. We decided that when the time comes, Nathon Fillion and Will Arnett are the only ones allowed to kill the board at Fox. They've earned it.

Or you know, Fox could bring back a certain extremely popular sci-fi western?

You mean the one that got poor ratings while it was on? Then, because the fans were so vocal, managed to get a movie made which was supposed to vindicate Whedon and show how much potential the franchise had? That then barely managed to make it's budget back?
