Well Turner has the rights to Futurama, so I doubt it'll ever end up on F/X. Plus, it's been doing amazing in the ratings on CN and TBS, so I doubt they'd let go of the rights.

FX has a lot of new shows coming soon. King of the Hill next fall (2004). More include: That '70s Show, Dharma & Greg, Malcolm in the Middle and Bernie Mac, all in the future, for exact dates check their respective boards.

May I ask a few questions, Pavanbadal. You might only be able to answer one of my questions on here. But still I'd like to ask the second question, even if you can't answer it on here. 1) When did FX start showing Buffy? and 2) How many years do they have rights?

Thanks ahead of the time if you can answer my questions, Pav.

1.) Buffy came in September 2001, along with Ally McBeal and The Practice. The latter two thus far have been duds.

2.) I think a $65 million dollar deal for four-years, with an option for 5th year. So basically a 5 year deal, if they want to air it the 5th year.

I'm not complaining about the 4 airings of Buffy a day, but Pavanbadal would you know why FX is airing it 4 times a day? Why isn't Ally or The Practice being over-played like Buffy? Just wondering.

The reason Ally and the Practice aren't overplayed is because, as pav said, they've been duds in the ratings.

When they debuted, though, FX was anchoring their primetime lineup around Ally McBeal. Seemingly, bad ratings did away with that after a couple months.

For some reason, though, people watch Buffy, which means FX is overplaying it so people watch their channel.

Pav, feel free to correct me, or confirm my hypothesis without the sarcasm

Jenny, Obsolete Man is exactly correct. LOL, you know what the sad thing is--I think an episode on FX once had more viewers than UPN! Now that's sad!

Thank you for answering, Pavanbadal.

So basically it's like reality shows in a way. I think they've gone way overboard, but they are only giving the people what they want. If everybody stopped watching them, they'd go away. So as long as people watch it, they'll shove them down your throat and make more.

Again, thanks Pav for answering my question.

It doesn't surprise that FX is over-running Buffy and Married with Children. They are the kings of over-running the same shows. At least we can look forward to watching 4 hours of King of the Hill and Dharma and Greg a day next year.
