Last night(2/1/05) I saw something comparing Futurama to Family Guy... it had Futurama on top for everyday of the week. Like 1 million for Futurama and 800 thousand for Family Guy.
Does anyone know what it was about? I missed the beginning, was it like viewers for each show or what? Sorry if I missed a previous post.

I'm beginnig to like you MrMoose. I din't watch Futurama last night, so I don't know what the hell your talking about. Welcome to PEEL Oen, there is a really good FAQ page somewhere, and I suggest you read it. Enjoy your stay at Nerd World.

Yeah.. I know.. it does seem reasonable.. how else would Fox kill off a great show? By killing off it fans when producing it. Those poor souls.. died making our life better.

The ad was on both last night and the night before... It said:
"Ever wonder how the weekday ratings compare to the weekend's?
They're much higher.
Monday Futurama 774,000 FG 752,000 ATHF 623,000 Tues Futurama 974,000 FG 942,000 ATHF 925,000 Wed Futurama 1,137,000 FG 1,040,000 ATHF 835,000 Thur Futurama 1,069,000 FG 835,000 Tom 608,000"

Now if only FOX saw these results...

I just don't understand it. I mean, I think futurama is way better than the simpsons. There is so much creativity involved, and it just has way better plots. Doesnt anyone agree with me on this? Don't get me wrong, I like the simpsons, but I just think futurama should be back. To be honest, I don't even remember watching Futurama on a regular basis until it got to Adult Swim. and now, I never thought that I would say this about a tv show, but I can't stand to not be with out it, ) I think someone said before that not many people saw it on fox due to the lack of advertising for it. I mean, how are people going to watch a show if they don't know about it. Plus, didn't fox keep changing the time it was aired? I am not sure. But, I was doing some research on the petitions. Family Guy had almost 200,000 signatures to Futurama's 10,000. I am not sure, cuase I am not a regular on Peel, but I have sent the link to all of my email list. Here is the link incase anyone else wants it: http://www.petitiononline.com/safu/petition.html Keep in mind, there are atleast 2 petitions from futurama, this one and one that has only like 250 signatures. Thanks for listening!

Well, does anyone know what kind of petition Family Guy had? Plus, we all know how adult swim is, and are the statistics they gave accurate?

Calvyn, I wouldn't bother. CGEF's petition to save Futurama was literally the biggest show petition in history, with over 160,000 signatures (Around 120,000 when it was delivered; they cut out double names, threats to Fox execs, etc). Family Guy's.....It mighta been around 60,000 eventually, I'm not really sure. But neither petition mattered, and FG was brought back because of dvd sales and (to a lesser extent) the AS ratings. Really, the best thing you can do to help Futurama would be just to reccomend the dvds to family and friends. And if you know anyone with a Nielsen box in their home, get them hooked on the reruns.
And if you plan on making petitions in the future, I wouldn't put a boycott in there unless there's more of a specific reason. People aren't going to boycott every product on television because of one show, and the networks know that, so they don't care even if the petition numbers are truly high. The only people that would go that far would be people in those "Parents Television Council" type groups, whom the networks almost always ignore as well.
