I'm not sure most people hate FOX itself—maybe just how they treated Firefly. Otherwise, it seems like most of the hate goes toward FOX News and Rupert Murdoch.

Are they actually making a special, or did you just make this thread to complain?

EDIT: Well, go-lly, I was unaware of this.

1. Most of the hatred of FOX Network I know comes from how many shows they cancelled.

2. There really is a special occurring... well, was. It's over, now.

FOX, the tv channel, is top tier.

FOX News...

Eh, you can say that about most any channel. Every channel's had tons of good shows that got cancelled or an exec that didn't like shows on it and did everything in his/her power to make sure those shows died or what have you.

Fox has a reputation of killing the most cult favorites. They also have a reputation of running the trashiest reality shows and crudest comedies (a tradition started with The Simpsons, and exemplified in the Seth MacFarlane-verse) to replace them.

And Fox News doesn't even begin to factor into that. Basically, Rupert Murdoch is a man who can sell sleaze in any form.

I've been wondering: How many awful, sleazy, superficial reality shows has FOX brought into existence?

Prolly about as many as all the rest of the networks is my guess. On the rare occasions I even turn on my tv and its not to watch a ballgame or something, those type of shows seem to be all that is on any channel. Or some at least 5 yr old movie I have seen already. :/

Here's a bit of info that is quite interesting: In Canada here, Global aired this special one hour before Fox themselves did. How does this work?

@ Mr. Mallard - I went here and counted about 44. (I didn't count COPS, though. I love COPS.)
