from what I read its the same assasination. It's a "real time" drama that will span out over 24 episodes....sounds cool if they can pull it off.

"Let's program Family Guy against Friends and Smackdown. Then we can be sure that those internet geeks will never be able to watch or tape it."

Thanks Fox. Jeesus, did Seth McFarlane run over Rupert's kid or what?

Yeah, it's supposed to be a single 24-hour period, all told in real time. If it was successful enough, they'd do the same thing the next year with a completely unrelated story...

Gizmo 05-17-01 05:18 PM

Family Guy and The Tick will be canceled in...oh....4 weeks. Friend, Survivor, and Smackdown....Yikes!

Oh yes it is. Jessica Alba in tight leather can't be bad. :D Well, actually, this show's pretty cool. Its like Sci fi/action, which is great.

big whoppa 05-17-01 07:06 PM

The new live action Tick starring Patrick Warburton (Puddy)? I'd like to see that.

Wazootyman 05-17-01 07:10 PM

:( and I wanted the Tick to be successful also :(

Good to see that the "The Family Guy" is back! It looks like the Sunday line-up is still the same!:)

Amen, brother. FOX has yet to give ANY respect to this show. Changing days, times, off the schedule, back on, into hiatus, on, off again......

Damn it, these programming heads piss me off!!! :grunt: It has been written already that this is basically a last stand for Family Guy - if it doesn't "do well", it's being cancelled for good. So what does FOX do? They put it up against the #1 comedy program on TV!! Not only that, but the demographic for both is pretty much the same, which means all these people tune in to Friends and there's nobody left to watch Family Guy.

Oh yeah, and this is all before calculating in the possible re-scheduling of Survivor in this slot, as well! -rolleyes-

Sorry guys, I just had to get that out of my system. I mean, damn, this show borders on genius sometimes (right on par with The Simpsons, IMHO).

:confused:
Is there something better to watch on Fridays?

I don't really watch TV on Friday nights but it's probably going to change in the fall. Or I can just tape every episode which will be kind of a pain.

Slumbering Fist 05-20-01 11:29 AM

Wow, the Family Guy crew must have family/mob ties at Fox, because I thought that show was cancelled last season. It certainly never made big waves. I thought the Tick was a mid season thing, it'll be interesting to see if it works. As for Dark Angel, i'm glad that Buffy wannabe has the ratings death night, maybe that'll be the nail in its coffin.

I've never watched Buffy, I'm really interested to hear why you think Dark Angel is a wannabe. Thanks.

Friday night is the SCI-FI dead spot. Every show that has been put in the slot has failed. Harsh Realm,Lone Gunmen. :(

Because for four seasons prior to Dark Angel, Buffy was around and established as the young, superpowered, wise a$$, kick butt chick, with a singular show mythology. Dark Angel has clearly attempted to be a variation on that, and not a very good one.

I compare it to those Dark Skies and Paranormal Investigation shows that are X-Files rip offs. Or when Fox developed Millennium, suddenly NBC rushed a creative team to make Profiler. Sure there are tons of differances, but the basic blueprint is the same, and, taking that into account the writing and characters on the originals (Buffy, X-files, Millennium) make Dark Angel and the like laughable in comparison.

M.A.N.T.I.S., Millenium, Brimstone ... :(

Let's not forget though that X-Files was originally on Friday nights.
