At least "Fastlane" got Friday's Losers! Yep. It's sad that Futurama loses ratings, but that is up to Fox! They have delayed new episodes which are delayed over here (England) too! This is just plain Rude! I think that Fox should kindly think about showning New Futurama episodes more often! The main thing that has resulted to low ratings is this, peple go to watch Fuutrama Fox don't have it on, the peple think that they'll do the same next week and the week after that!  I'm sure most True Fans Always watch Futurama! All this rubish about what Media Weekly think is a biased opion! They don't really know much about the programme so they should watch it more often! Well, I'm sure some True Fans, which I state again, would agree that Fox should show more Futurama!

Fox has no real say on what goes in the show. Matt Groening has total control, like in the simpsons, and the Fox really didn't like that. They wanted Futurama to be like the Jetsons or something, according to Matt. Plus he has control over the merchandise, again like the Simpsons.
What it comes down to is, anything they couldn't do to the Simpsons from it bringing in too much money, they seemed to push onto Futurama.
Also, I think many other factors comes in. They seem to be flailing around looking for the "next hit". Most shows on Fox get cancelled in one season, 2 if they are lucky, and they *love* their "reality" tv shows -- more than their normal shows in most respects.
It is sorta difficult to know exactly what is going on, and as a fan I am going to have a slightly negative view of Fox. But, it would blow my mind if they did what they did to the show if they didn't intend to kill it.
