@j035u5Because they now have much less succesful shows in preferential time-slots.Well that's not really a reason, is it? I was trying to point out precisely how senseless fox is.But I'll give you the explanation you seek (and this goes for all tv channels, but it's specially an issue in Fox because it's not been the first and certainly not the last epic show they've cancelled for no good reason (that they hadn'r provoked), and most of them even had great audiences:As I understand, every x amount of time fox execs are changed. This is mainly due to calm down the shareholders who want someone to be sacrificed when the network if not doing great on ratings (which is normally isn't).So every new exec get to approve new shows, right? some of them become their pet shows, the one's they're supposed to set them apart from the previous execs and help them maintain their position for longer. But then they have the problem that previous execs' pet shows are on the best time slots, and they can't just go and cancel their best audienced shows, that'd be carreer suicide...So what they do is move them around. It doesn't really matter too much to where, but their final destination is always friday nights. Where they lose ***** of viewers and that's how they get them cancelled. And put their own (more often crappy than not) pet shows on neutral time slots, and with time end up moving them to the best slots. But since they're not usually the GREATEST of shows, they don't do great compared to other networks, and alas, he is fired, a new exec is promoted and the cycle starts all over again. They couldn't care less not only about the viewers, but also about the actual wellbeing of the company. Shareholders don't undertand time slots, they don't get what show would make it. They don't make direct decisions. They hire someone who they think will do the best job possible. Arrested Develpment, I agree, may not have been super-mainstream, but they have a HUGE fanbase, die-hard and crazy loyal. I wouldn't know about all the advertisement, since I (like MANY others) found out about it when it was already cancelled. There is DEFINITELY a place for shows like that on TV (check battlestar galactica and similars). AD is not the best example, but other shows that WERE very mainstream also got cancelled. T:TSCC had lost viewers due to slacker writers, but it definitely started out good, and sure as hell ended up well. If it hadn't been cancelled I can bet you the 3rd season premiere would have beaten records.I could go on about other shows, but I'm sure many would do a better job. Firefly has also kind of niche, but could have definitely used the help of some promotion to younger audiences. The Serenity movie and DVD sales prove how succesful they could have been if they had been managed by less clueless and self-absorbed execs...Bah, whatever... broadcast tv is definitely not going to stay the same, and I predict as decisions are taken away from white-collar execs, and the industry stops being all about time slots, the number of quality shows will go up dramatically.Just wait and see
