SO WHAT DOES FOX DO when it finds the new hour-long drama it shoved into a Friday night slot of obscurity turns out to be a creative, unique, witty show that not only gets great reviews from critics but also gets people who hate TV to tune in and watch?

They shove it into the Thursday timeslot against CSI, the number one show in America.

And what happens the week after?

They cancel it. And replace it with a reality show involving "ugly women" who are given makeovers and forced to compete in a beauty pageant.

Jesus.

Wonderfalls, you deserved so much better. Whatever happened to letting a show run out its 13 ordered episodes and not canning it after fucking FOUR?!

ANDY RICHTER CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE. Amen, brother and/or sister. That show had the potential to be the male-equivalent of Ally McBeal with the right marketing. Stupid, stupid Fox.

As for Wonderfalls, I really feel for what I never got the chance to see but kept hearing was an insanely clever show. However, we XTC fans knew from the very beginning that Andy Partridge's theme-song for the show had doomed it from the start... everything the man's ever had his music in has been complete flop. (Jerry Macguire excepting.)
