Good news, everyone! "Futurama" may make a Family-Guy-esque return.

Will Fox give it a real time slot that won't get taken by sports every week this time?
If not, why bother?

It would fit perfectly on Sunday Night after The Simpsons, and before Family Guy.
Now if only Fox would have tried to Save Malcolm in the Middle and King of The Hill, instead of killing them.

If KOTH were getting constant promotion on Adult Swim, and had massive DVD sales, then I could see it coming back, but I think Mike Judge had it in the plans to finish it when it did.

Yes, but that awful show in the timeslot now is somehow retaining the audience. How did Arrested Development fail where The War At Home is succeeding? I simply don't get it.

Both of those shows have pretty much run their course, IMO. At least they'll go out without becoming hideously bad like Simpsons has.

"The Simpsons" has cross-appeal. It's written on many different levels so intellectuals and the stupid can all find something funny in it. Thus, the high numbers.
"Arrested Development" was too cerebral and too intelligent. It only held the intellectual numbers. "The War At Home" holds more stupid people.
There are more stupid people than intellectuals. When you add them into the people in-between, you get higher numbers and better retention.<P ID="signature">______________

Arrested Development was on at 9:30/8:30 central.

With all due respect, one's tastes in humor does not reflect whether they are "stupid" or not. It's a cop out trying to defend Arrested Development, and its fans, as too smart for the silly masses.
I, for one, am by no means stupid. Suffice it to say I did well in school, have been moderately successful in my professional life, and am generally a well-rounded, but grounded, individual (who happens to love The Simpsons). I also hated Arrested Development. Just because someone doesn't like it, doesn't mean they're not smart enough to "get" it. I got it just fine, and still thought it was dreadful.
And yes, I laugh at The War at Home sometimes. You know why? Because when I'm facing a long week ahead, and dreading going back to the office, sometimes I --GASP-- enjoy some brain candy to wind down in the evening.
Of course it's frustrating when a favorite show gets the axe, but that doesn't mean the audience is stupid for not seeing in it what you saw.
