I wonder...if Fox decides to get rid of the show due to ratings, could they just move it to FX instead?

How bad are the ratings? I've been telling everyone I know how great this show is (but since I only know three people I guess my efforts haven't heped much).

I've wondered the same myself. They could do this with a lot of their shows that get cancelled from bad ratings, but have a hardcore, cult following (Action!, Brimstone, Harsh Realm, etc...)

I'm going to record all the replays because for the first 2 or 3 episodes I didn't realize the previews were actually new material, and wouldn't be shown the next week.

I am pleased with this, I missed probably the 1st 8 shows, so this is great.

Yeah, I guess all the people who cover their ears and yell "SPOILERS!" as they dive for the remote have missed out.

this is the best network show I've seen in a very long time....I find it hilarious. I'm glad it sounds like Fox is really giving it a good shot

Yep this is my favorite show on TV not called Southpark. Fox better give it atleast one more season to build a following.

well...it began at 1 cst and not 1:30...

And they were not the first six eps...

Actually the third one was well past the ones with buster meeting Lucille2.

The good thing was that I was able to watch 2 episodes I had missed.

Just cannot wait for the eventual*fingers crossed* dvd release.

Ok... So, did not all episodes have a "Next time on..." segment (I didn't see one on "bringing up Buster")? And did they not always flash to white for each commercial break?

Or did FX remove that to squeeze in one more commercial break?

The "Next episode" segments are fake. They don't actually occur in the next episode.

Taped the whole thing and just watched the pilot (I had missed the first few episodes because I had no clue what it was then!). Knowing the characters made the pilot that much funnier to me. By far, one of the best written shows on TV today! If a DVD is ever made, I'm there!

Yeah... Ok... So...

Again, did FX remove some of the "Next episode" segments (for example, the one that would have aired after "Bringing Up Buster") and the "fade to white" before each commercial break, or did not all of the episodes have the "previews" at the end, or go white at each break when they originally aired?

I know at least one of the episodes didn't have the "Next time..." segment. Can't remember which one it was, though.
