TV Promo - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just saw a promo on FOX for their Sunday night line-up. It started with "King of the Hill," followed by "The Simpsons," "Oliver Beene," "Malcolm in the Middle," and "The Pitts." It showed clips from all those shows and then at the end it just said that the evening starts with an all-new "Futurama" but didn't show any clips for it. FOX really isn't doing a good job of promoting the show. I bought the Volume 1 DVD set and am enjoying it. I am looking forward to the rest of the series being released on DVD.

You people must be reading my mind...

I too saw that. I watched the whole NASCAR race and saw a promo for everything BUT Futurama. Even that (looks-like) lame-ass, completely an insult to my intelligence show The Pitts got several comercials.

You know what Fox!!!!! You can kiss my (shiny metal) ass!!!

God almighty, I even watched the show to see what all the commotion was about and it was horrible. There was a laugh track running every two seconds and most of the time, they weren't even after jokes! The whole show is a joke! It's nice to know that Futurama is running on another network but still, 72 episodes isn't that much. This show deserves a LOT more.

Just bumping this to the top again.

For anyone who watched any other shows on Fox tonight, did you notice that after the first commercial, they had Fox written in big, white letters with the show title written next to it? And were then advertising something. They did that for every show BUT Futurama. I mean it's obvious that Fox doesn't want to advertise the show during commerials, but come on, at least advertise it right before it or during it.

All I watched was Futurama. No promos during NASCAR of course. Actually, they slowed down the promos quite a bit compared to last week.
