It's good to see that King of the Hill survived the Sunday 7-8 pm purgatory that killed Futurama and countless other shows.

so outside of good shows (house), shows that used to be great (family guy) and shows i watch inspite all good reasons to the contrary (prison break) im only really interested in one of the new fox shows, that one about the guy who doesn't die, and only a little.

looks like fox doesn't appeal to the 18-25 males or maybe im not a typical 18-25 year old male.

I have to say that I can't figure out why I am still watching Prison Break either. The only thing I can think of is that the acting is still fairly good, but the plots are so ridiculous, and it is so obvious that the original conception of the series was for it to end at the end of the season. I really hope they end it this season, answer most of the questions they've dropped over the years, and leave the property with some shred of dignity left.

Should we take bids on how long the new shows will last before FOX pulls them?? I say 2 weeks - that is their norm for pulling shows.

2 weeks? Yeah right. 1 for some, the other ones that have any sort of potential will be shown out of order with no advertisement whatsoever.

Besides House, I don't really have a reason to watch FOX anymore.

I know we're bashing Fox here, all for it btw...but now that Reilly is in charge, I think things might have a longer shelf life. He stuck with FNL, 30 Rock, and even the Office back when it was starting out, and now the last one is the best comedy on TV, 30 Rock is gaining steadily and FNL looks poised to begin its 2nd season strongly...now who can't say that Drive wouldnt have done the same if given a little leeway?

I think the old Fox we knew may be gone, and we may see more patience now...

And I know it's not on THIS schedule, but are we forgetting the BEST reason to watch Fox of all...24. I know last season wasn't stellar, but cmon, Jack Bauer alllllllways brings home the bacon...and I don't care about Prison Break's 'issues', I think they've developed quite a good story to follow the first season (which I do agree is where the story arc was probably set to end) and have developed into one of my fav shows out there. It's dramatic, suspenseful, and the acting is damn good...and can we really criticize anything of quality, such as Prison Break, when crap like Skating with Celebrities makes it to air...and finishes its run?

The difference is that FNL, 30 Rock and even The Office all had potential.

Drive sucketh big time. It was so over the top unbelievable and what made it worse is that it ran right after the All Star Season of The Amazing Race which was basically the same idea but with cars and the idiotic twist that people race to save loved ones. I turned the TV off after the flashback to the race twenty years ago where that one person lost a family member. I don't even remember who exactly it was it was so unbelievable. Any cannonball-run like race in the age of the internet, satellite surveillance and CCTV-cameras is just ridiculous. If they'd put it 25 to 30 years in the past I might have believed it but there are now 300 million people in the US with about 250 million (?) cars, there's simply not enough room to race especially not in Florida where they had their first stages. And those ridiculous special effects with the space shuttle start looking totally copied in as well as the camera angles that came out of the computer in the opening sequence, every race sequence et cetera. That was all worthy of going into an episode of Battlestar Galactica where it would've totally fit in but when you are filming a RACE you have to stick to what the viewer is used to from NASCAR and Indy as well as Formula 1 - you can't use angles that are impossible on those shows because the viewer is simply not believing that a camera would be able to get that angle and then they will start to think about what else on the show is totally far fetched.

I watch so many drama and comedy-shows on TV that a show really has to be bad before I drop it.

I'm a little dissapointed prison break starts a whole month later this year compared to last, but I'm guessing they did it because season two ended april 2nd which is very early, so this will at least extend it to the last week in april and now there shouldn't be as much of a hiatus from the front 13 to the back 9.....I really hope this show lasts at least 5 seasons so it is put into syndication...The producer has plans for 5 seasons, and that's honestly how far I can see it going before it becomes dull. I agree season 2 wasn't as good as season 1, but how many shows do you know that got better with age or had a better second season than first season...The only one that comes to mind for me is seinfeld....and that took 4 seasons before it was good....This show is a lot better than 24 imo, and I'm very surprised it doesn't get 24 type ratings...That show has just as much unbelivable plots as prison break, maybe even more since he does all of that garbage in 1 day
