Why did FOX cancel Titus

? was it because of the ratings? I thought it was funny.

Anthony33 · 07-02-2003, 11:24 PM

Actually ratings were good so when ratings are good a show is cancelled because the person in charge of programming doesn't like it, which in this case is Gail Berman.

It's a cross between that, and subject matter. A lot of people started complaining about the show. DID YOU KNOW that Titus was actually getting higher ratings than King of the Hill?

Anthony33 · 07-14-2003, 07:37 PM

Yes not only King Of The Hill but Titus also had higher ratings than Grounded For Life. I officialy hated Grounded For Life for good when it was not only renewed over Titus, but then picked up by WB, which led to the cancellation of another show I really liked, Do Over.

Basic answer?

Fox are idiots.

This is the network that cancelled Family Guy, which beat WWF Smackdown at its peak of popularity in the all-coveted 18-34 male rating demographic.

Fox has lost its... well.. .testicular fortutitde over the years. The network which gave us Married... With Children at a time when Full House was king is now too scared to air shows like Titus, and Family Guy, because they're too controversial, or "out there".

Anthony33 · 07-24-2003, 12:38 AM

Well that's the thing. Back when Married...With Children was on, Fox was still a fledgling network. Now that they're a major network, they want to play it safer and when they do air a show that takes a chance, it's only small risks and nowhere near as good as the ones they won't put on. They basically have idiots in charge of programming there now.

It's a mixture of that and the fact that the head of FOX programing hated the show.

Anthony33 · 07-24-2003, 08:49 PM

So why did they put it on in the first place? Was there a different head of programming in 2000 than there was in 2002?

nimrod_86 · 07-30-2003, 03:00 PM

No, but they figured it would rack up huge ratings, because it was the only show as daring as it was at the time. But it was only a cult show, so the head of FOX cancelled it.

"BLAST" as Stewie would say.

I don't understand why FOX cancelled Titus and Andy Richter Controls the Universe. I thought both shows were great.

Yet Ally McBeal and Party of Five both lasted for several seasons...

And don't get me started on those awful reality show!
