I am Done Watching Drama's on Fox

Do you notice that Fox seems to no longer give a *fu ck* about there drama's. In the last 6 years, I don't think one Fox Drama has lasted longer then 3 seasons beside 24 and at the most, it will last 4. Let's go down the list.

Johnny Zero
Dark Angel
Tru Calling
Fastlane
Northshore
Millenium
John Doe
Boston Public
Pasedena
Emma Brody
Ally Mcbeal

I am sure there are at least six more shows that I missed, I probably missed 3 shows in this season alone. I remember when Fox use to give there Dramas a fighting chance but now it seems like they give up on it the second things get bad. I am sure that the second The OC drops in the ratings they will cancel that also and Point Plesant hasn't been cancelled yet, but 20 bucks says it will be. Jonny Zero was a good show and yes it got low ratings but it was on Friday freakin night. The night were the 18-34 demographic is out partying.

The Moral of this story kids is to not get attached to any drama on Fox because it will more then likely be cancelled after the first couple seasons if it even lasts that long.

Ally McBeal was on for five seasons.

well... it was on for 4 1/2 seasons. The "fifth" season had like 12 episodes which is half of what a regular full season has on network TV.

Firefly's another one for the list...maybe more sci-fi than drama though. And heck, after what, three years they brought back Family Guy? Granted that's not a drama, but Fox saw how well it did on another network.

If they're going to pull a show, at least give it a fitting ending instead of just snatching it off the air.

I agree with that. Don't just stick a show in a horrible timeslot and then cancel it. At least give it a fighting chance.

I had say that Fox's HOUSE will last for long... its has critical acclaim ( excellent reviews and Hugh Laurie just won the Golden Globle for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in HOUSE) and commercial appeal (among the top 20 shows for every week).
