It's 6:00C here, and they've just started playing True Lies. WTF? And go here.....the site is giving contradictory info, it says both Simpsons AND True Lies at 7:00C. It's not even 7:00 yet, it's 6:00! WTF is going on?!?!!!? Like I really want to see a censored version of a movie I've already seen four times already instead of the usual Malcom, KotH and Futurama (don't care about Simpsons).

They don't want to compete with that super important show being aired on ABC. I think it has something to do with maudlin people accepting some naked dude on a pedestal for mediocre work in the entertainment industry.

Great. Well no thanks Fox, or ABC for that matter. Guess I'll have to study now.

I'm angry that I didn't get to see a new Xfiles... screw the oscars and those actors who think they are better than the rest of us. If they're so damned great, why don't they work at a salary comparable to the average person who actually does a meaningful job.

Because they don't have to.

Yes, but I'd much rather see their usual lineup than "one of the greatest movies ever" for the 5th time and censored.

In case you haven't noticed, there hasn't been a new X-Files for the past 4 weeks or so. Are you blaming overpaid actors and/or the Academy Awards for all those missed episodes?
