For football!
FUCKING FOOTBALL! :mad:
WHY DO THESE BASTARDS PUT FUTURAMA IN THE ONLY TIME SLOT WHERE IT IS GUARENTEED TO FAIL???
WHY WHY WHY WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY? :eek:
It’s a great show. A fun show. But Fox seems to be deliberatly sabotaging their own show! :rolleyes:
How can I get through to these bastards? 
I hate Fox. Why cant futurama move to cartoon network or comedy central.
Gee, Futurama doesn’t start here for a while yet… 
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
This is exactly what those fuckers did to MARRIED…WITH CHILDREN towards the end. Except when they ** cut into it already in progress. ** And the show had only made Fox a gazillion dollars and put it on the freakin’ map.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. They have now chosen which show is expendable when the football runs over. I think they’re convinced that if the X-Files starts one minute late, the universe will collapse on itself.
Geez, Katey Sagal simply CANNOT get a break these days…first MWC and TUCKER get canned, now this.
And the Simpsons premiere had another lame-o cartoony ending. The fact that it is a cartoon is no excuse.
I saw it, Atlanta. And the *Simpsons/i], and Malcolm in the Middle.
Well, it was also pre-empted in Boston. And Bosda’s in Tennessee. What a pain.
Wasn’t pre-empted here. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much.
Nor here (bay area, California), either. However, the show had a “scary” premise, so I’m guessing it was originally intended to be shown last weekend, before Halloween. Did they kick it back a WHOLE WEEK? However, I agree, pepperlandgirl, it was not one of their better efforts.
After forcing myself to watch the Redskins debacle to the end (Cardinals avg. starting field position = 49 yard line. WTF?), I only get the last five minutes of Futurama. Add a middling Simpsons episode and you’ve got yourself a depressing Sunday night.
I know TV execs are scared of another “Heidi” incident, but cutting away from this game would’ve been a good call.
Heidi?
Do we really need football on 4 different channels at the same time. Please, pick a game and run with it. People who can afford to gamble and make the game interesting in the first place should be able to get cable too.
Football on four different stations? I don’t know where you are living, but where I’m at, there are never more than two games on at a time.
Let’s see:
CBS-Early Game
Fox-Late Game
ESPN-Evening Game
ABC-Monday Night
True, that’s four stations, but you can clearly see, they are not all playing football at once.
Am I missing something?
Pep -
I live in an area served by both Baltimore and DC stations. I think jmullaney might too. I get 3-5 games every Sunday, not counting the ESPN night game.
I love living in Columbia.
Futurama’s season started last night, but it had the look of a repeat. The old “Let’s make Bender a Vampire” gag.
Two things were pretty fucking funny though.
Evil windshield wipers from KnightRider.
Ed Begly Jr’s electric motor. The most evil motor ever created.
Bad Simson’s episode?
It was the funniest for quite a while.
Futurama was only so-so, but The Simpsons rocked.
“Go away badger, we’ve got bigger problems.”
Makinging it into a class warfare issue.
“Get them while they are dancing.”
Hah.
Call us a cab
You have feet
Oh ok Falc. Thanx. 
I would like to announce that I encourage any network to pre-empt any Seattle Seahawk game as long as it isn’t Lawrence Welk or something.
At least MWC ran for 262 episodes. That’s 6 more than MAS*H!
[nitpick]
I think you mean the premiere of Futurama, not the Premier (unless Futurama is an independent nation with diplomats who can be pre-emted.)
