FOX only changed the number of episodes ordered twice; 6 to 16, then to 13. Changing the episode order didn\'t matter too much; there wasn\'t much continuity to speak of. Frankly, I don\'t think it was screwed at all...the issue wasn\'t the timeslot, it was that the show sucks...but I kept it and added some extra info nonetheless.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
It does. The first changes in ordered episodes and the out of order airing occurred before the show began, and even if a show is the worst thing on the planet that gets awful ratings, it\'s still Screwed By The Network, regardless of whether the screwing is justified or not.

The more I think about it, the less Screwed By The Network fits. It got really good treatment before the bad ratings and reviews came in.
