Originally posted by futurefreak: Thankfully the popularity of reality shows, along with boy bands, has dropped significantly since then. I think if they put Futurama on the air right now, it would be a breath of fresh air compared to the laugh-track sitcom crap FOX tries out each season (Quintuplets, Hot Dog On a Stick anyone?) The problem is that adding the show in addition to the cartoon shows they have on now might "overdo" it for the average viewer. Hence, away with extra Simpsons reruns and American Dad! Give Futurama its own night! huzzah! as long as it's a good night...
and I don't know about you, but I'd take Futurama over Family Guy any day I happened to hear that the second season of American Dad (or AD, if you will) is starting on September 11th, now if Fox was going to put down any show, that would seem a reasonable time  . I really hate AD, along with Family Guy and I've heard mixed rumors about AD, but is it or is it not true that ratings haven't been on it's side lately?(Does that even make sense? I can't tell anymore.) Not to throw anyone off-topic of course, but it's something somewhat valid to the topic still.

If adult swim is "biased", it's because Family Guy is making new episodes while Futurama isn't. I'm sure they would like to have Futurama back just as much, but they're definitely going to be more enthusiastic about a show that's still giving them new material to run then a show that's only repeats for them.
The funny thing, though, is that Futurama was definitely more popular at first. Despite what people say, Fox really tried with Family Guy. They gave it a lot of support at the beginning, and while they may have faltered in one area or the other, it really genuinely failed them. It even took the post-Simpsons slot Futurama should have had for a while, and ultimately the ratings couldn't be sustained. Fox put more support behind Family Guy, and yet, there's a distinct reason why Futurama was renewed for the 2000-2001 season and Family Guy wasn't.
But, times have changed, and Family Guy's dvds sold better....hopefully more people will discover Futurama over the years. Despite the current FG fad, I have the feeling Futurama is going to be more lasting.
