MitM and 70's show canned.

Arrested Development on the ropes kinda sucks though. I'm guessing another network will pick it up, Fox viewers are just too stupid to appreciate it. I'm guessing if Curb your Enthusiam was on Fox it would have been canned in a week...

Still no word on new Futurama but personally I think it ended well where it was.

Might end up like the new lame Family Guys if they continue, choked full of formula "random" humor.

That 70's show is just terrible now, my god. It used to be a pretty decent show, for at least the first 3 seasons, but it's just gone on way the hell too long. It reminds me of Friends, in a way, full of friends swapping sexual partners and the same jokes they've used for the past bajillion seasons. Who is the new dude supposed to be? He's not even remotely funny. They should have canned it the second two of the main characters didn't come back for a full season.

And more importantly, what year was it supposed to be when the show started? Is it even in the 70's anymore?

I think you're on to something. That 70's Show is getting canned for the imminent release of That 80's Show.

they tried that 80s show. I think it made like 4-6 episodes. It was ok. The asian dude was funny.

Be great if they brought back Futurama and canned King of the Hill. Let Mike go back to making Beavis and Butthead and air that fucker from 5pm to 10pm on MTV.

One can dream.

Fox has done 2 things right in recent memory:

1) Arrested Development
2) Prison Break

Unfortunately, by far the best one (AD), is getting shut down.

Am I the only one who fucking hates Arrested Development? Can't stand that show, even if it's on in the other room. It just isn't funny.

Congratulations, you are the posterboy for the viewing TV public that cannot "get" an extremely funny and original show. I think it's fucking hilarious, the episode where the magician brother was burrying himself alive and Buster was dressed up as a gay stripper soldier was just hilarious.

It really helps if you watch from the beginning of the series. The characters are really retarded and silly, so if you tune in to episode 12 of season 2, you might think "WTF this is gay" (a la BobTheMoron) whereas it's pure comedic bliss if you've been right there with the Bluths since the beginning.
