Fox? Seriously?

Ok, first, you've been hinting around that you want Conan. Now, I understand your reasoning. You put Wanda Sykes on Saturdays last fall and it's logical that you'd want a show at 11 PM on weeknights to compete against the news programs on everyone else' channel.

Except it's Conan...he's not someone like Chevy Chase or Joss Whedon where you can dick him around and everything's fine...I think Conan's fanbase has proved ourselves even more rabid than Browncoats.

And if it weren't weird enough that you wanted Conan, now it's just starting to feel like you went through my fandom list one by one and you're trying to buy them all...

American Torchwood?

Seriously? What were you thinking?

Because if you notice on my post about shows that only made it one season even though they were incredibly awesome, there are 16 shows. SEVEN of those were on Fox. Fox does not have a good track record with science fiction.

Heck, Fox doesn't even have a good record with the BBC!

Does no one with the BBC remember what happened in 1996?

You? Fox? In bed together like this? Fox sweet-talked you into letting them do a tv movie that would lead to a series and you agreed, but like five people came to the party and THEN FOX PRETENDED IT NEVER HAPPENED?!!!

If it's one thing I've learned from the mess with Conan, if a television channel has done it before, they are totally capable and willing to screw you again.

Plus... Unlike U.S. adaptations that have gone awry, "Torchwood" fans can take comfort that the original producing team is on board, led by series creator Russell Davies who is writing the script.

Yeah, some of us won't take comfort in that fact considering that we don't trust him or them at all after last summer.

Also, some of the current cast -- most likely John Barrowman, who plays the immortal Capt. Jack Harkness -- might star if the script leads to a pilot order.

Yeah...unless this takes place before COE, John and Eve ARE the cast! That's the problem, you killed everyone else listed during the theme song.

This is SUCH a great idea!

(rolls eyes)

However, I am VERY amused and saddened that Rusty was able to pass on the throne of most hated man in television to someone else. You must be very proud of yourself, Jeff Zucker. If Montgomery Burns was a real person, even he would be taking notes.
