On the one side, Fox DOES have too darn many cartoons to put on Sunday Nights without making them mid-season replacements. I really do love Napoleon Dynamite the series and Bob's Burgers... but they're awkwardly placed in the schedule. Especially when it comes to football season (that killed Futurama).

I'm wondering if this could be a boon to shows like Bob's Burgers (which I really want to see renewed) that just can't fit on the schedule year round. As long as SNL doesn't kill it in the ratings.

I still miss the good old days of FOX Kids. Now FOX has decided to give up on children's programming.

It was partially because pf Disney's Fox Family buy out that we lost the network. But quite honestly, when the network was just obsessed with Power Rangers, the network started to slide downhill. I mean, I LOVE classic Fox Kids with Dog City, Bobby's World, Beetlejuice, and of course, Eek the Cat. And even when MMPR was around, The Tick, Sam and Max (should have lasted longer than 2 seasons), Secret Files of the Spy Dogs, Toonsylvania, Mad Jack the Piratre and their last great show, Ripping Friends. Seriously, when it was all about Digimon and Power Rangers, there was rarely anything great on. And even if there was, it didn't last at all.

I really miss Fox Box too. Kirby, Ultimate Muscle, TMNT 2k3... now all we got is CW4Kids, and all that is is Sonic X reruns.
