The local Fox affiliate here replaced the 10:30pm Seinfeld reruns with (gasp) That 70s Show reruns.

I always thought once a week was more than enough for that show, but apparently Fox was intent on ruining my nightly viewing schedule.

I love That 70s Show, especially the first couple seasons. 2 episodes are shown in DC locally at 7 & 7:30 on the UPN affiliate (opposite Friends and Seinfeld).

There must have been a massive deluge of complaints and/or ratings dive when the local FOX affiliate in DC replaced their 6:30 showing of The Simpsons (they also have a 6 pm showing) with King of the Hill earlier this year. Within a month, The Simpsons was back.

Same thing happened here a while back, they took the Simpsons off at 10pm and replaced it with Frasier or something, and within a couple weeks the Simpsons were back.

A local independent channel used to have back-to-back Simpsons at 6pm at 6:30pm, but now the 6pm episode has been replaced by That 70's Show.

I called my local UPN station because they are taking off Newsradio and replacing it with (even worse than the example cited above) Dharma and Greg.

Oh the horror!
