Oh my god...:lol:lol:lol
That was so great...:lol:lol:lol
He looks like he's trying so hard not to laugh. :lol
sorry if I don't put stock in the article.. this is just guessing at best. we know the nielsens but until we here even rumor circulating I am not going to worry that we won't get a full season.
as for this episode, I found the two signs that are by Mary Poppuns:
The sign by the flight of the Mary Poppuns reads: Caution: Please stay off my landing port... Im not the tourist killing sort... But if you have a working girl to kill, please let her stay while I do my will.
According to the sign in the background, Ms. Poppuns is an original creation of Wee Britain and is in no way meant to invoke the character of the popular novel, musical or stage show Mary Poppins. Our Ms. Poppuns has neither the trade-markable qualities of being a nanny nor the power of flight, but instead is a cleaning woman who transports herself with the aid of a guide wire and a sturdy cane as she fights the likes of Jack the Ripper every weekday at quarter past and half after every odd Greenwich mean hour.
Michael kept referring to Jack the Ripper so she took him down, took him downtown. :lol

On Fox's schedule on their website it looks like no AD next week. 
I don't know if everyone already knew that.

all of fox's actions echo another one of thier best series that was cancelled prematurely..... Futurama. Moved around to other days, not promoting the day change... being pre-empted by sports... not showing episodes for months at a time... though AD is actually being shown more than Futurama did in its final "McSeason" and it has a hell of a lot more actual promo ads than Futurama ever did.
:*(
Yeah. It's utter bullshit. Fuck the Neilson ratings.....these great shows that Fox has canceled obviously have a large, devoted following, far more devoted than these crappy McSeries they keep pumping out will ever have. And if they're not "popular" enough in the eyes of Fox execs, then something they're doing is horribly wrong. Their promotion for and treatment of their best shows always seems to be pretty shitty, that's for sure. I can't imagine Neilson ratings accurately reflect how many people watch these showsl. Maybe a new system of gathering ratings needs to be put in place. I don't think I've ever known one person with a Neilson box.blahness said:

Not a box, but a week long diary/logbook. Since Fox pulled AD early last season, I didn't get to show my support on the log, but I did make a point of putting it in the comments section.

Well, it was great fun while it lasted. Let's hope they finish out the season and let the DVD sales make Fox executives look stupid again.koam said:
...where is Prison Break? I mean, it has to be there somewhere, doesn't it? Bones moving to House's slot makes some sense...but the lack of Prison Break makes me think something is off unless Fox plans on putting it on hold and then running it into Summer after Idol is done.
They should at least put it back in place of War at Home.
This is Fox's crazy 12-Month schedule...but it is missing its greatest success. There will be some major shuffling, this is no terrible sign.

As for all this talk about numbers, Malcolm premeired with even less, 3.7 million viewers.
Fox already cancelled head cases. They dont have that many backups.
Im calling bs on that article.
Incidently, I like war at home. Completely different humor than AD, but funny. Very titus.

That's a different situation, though; MitM is in syndication, which makes new seasons more sensible from a financial standpoint (which is why many of us were hoping for AD to at least crawl to four full seasons). It's also nearing the end of its run, and it makes sense that its numbers would be winding down, whereas AD is a newer show, yet is showing a decline rather than building a fan base. IIRC, MitM also costs less to produce.jamesinclair said:

speaking of, has anyone watched Malcom in the Middle lately? The kid that plays Malcom looks fucking creepy now, and he sounds like Kermit the Frog. Puberty has been very unkind to him.

That show really should have ended about 2 years ago. The kid really has outgrown the role he is supposed to be playing.

Oh GOD, war at home. I tried watching it and couldn't stop cringing. The dad wanting his daughter to stay together with her BF so he can get into the golf club? *barf*
If FOX does cancel the series, I hope they have the decency to at least finish its season instead of axing it like Firefly. That was painful.

I just hope if this is indeed the last season, they wrap everything up nicely. I really wouldn't want a cliffhanger at the end of the season that will never be resolved.
As I said in the other thread, make sure you buy the DVDs if you haven't already done so. Solid DVD sales is pretty much the only thing that could keep the show going at this point (with the shit ratings it's getting I doubt even stellar DVD sales would make much of a difference to Fox, but it's worth a shot).
Frankie Muniz is almost 20...weird.
Also, if they cancel the show, they have to let them finish the story.
They finished it so beautifully last season (when we assumed it was over), so they have to let them write themselves out of it again. It's the least they can do...even if it is premature.
