Fox TV / Your TV Viewing / Current Programing

I've recently begun a letter to fox reguarding programing...

Not just about Fox, but it's a start...

I'm sure people out there seeing the same problem...

So I've started this really rough letter that need reformed...

It started with Futurama, but has more meaning reguarding programing and the available programing...

So, every one needs to voice their opinions, write letters, and make agreements.. That's what this thread is about...

The email for our start (FOX NETWORK) is - askfox@foxinc.com

My really needs work letter is...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Futurama!

Is the show going to make a come back or not?

and if so!?! or not!?! how can I help?

Since the fan base for the show is so large; blogs, forums, fan sites, and dvd consumers, I even record every episode every night from C-N's Adult swim on my VCR. Repeats or not, it's amazing.

This show should be given a late night once a week shot, or you mite try gathering data from online polls, asking questions directly to your viewers, what time, when, where, and how long, they would watch the show.

You have to agree, people are still ranting about a show that vanished nearly 4 years ago...

On another matter, I'm not a fan of reality tv shows... The last thing I want to see is; a group of people, doing things a 3 year old would do.

I understand that tv sells, what ever show is more popular, is going to get the most support from corporations paying for advertising. I also understand that tvs not free, broadcasting, production, and excreta, cost money.

I guess you really have to ask your self what are you really targeting? kids with no money? Poor families that have nothing better to do then tune to a free station? Those who over extend them self month to month, and work lesser jobs...

These people can't afford most of the products that your advertise. How long until those companies that support you figure this data out as time goes.

In the past 2 years, Debra Vogt, Kayla Vogt, Kateria Smith, Patty Guidry, Shaun K Charlot, Cole L Council, Matt Council, Andy Council, Sherry Produe, Rebbeca Smite, Richard Produe, Dr Claude L Council, Barbra A Yachera, Joseph Semond, Shirley Semond, Brandon and Jessie Prejean, Merlyn Hebert, Randy Hebert, Timothy Arant, Calienta S, Valley Ambuie, excreta... Tv viewing time has declined from an avarage of 2 or 3 hours per day, to 3 to 5 hours per week.

(This isn't perfectly accurate data, and it's not all because of reality tv)

I would be very happy to gather the data for you, or you can provide a more accessible data gathering system then the old ones used till this day.

I welcome a reply...

So let it begin!

There is a reason the show was canceled. Fox is out to make money, and they analyze every single things they do to maxamise the profits that come in through commercials. Fox, frankly doesn't give a damn if people like the show or not. In fact they realy don't give a damn if people like anything on their network, all Fox cares about is getting 3rd parties paying for commercial time. It is only a coincidence that programing that people like do this best.

You are wasting your time. They have seen countless reams and reams of data.

ps: they are targeting kids with parents who will spend every last dime on their kids.

I think it's rather intressting how people with little to no money, living pay check to pay check watch more tv, then people who have money, and buy new things...

This is becoming a trend, so how long do you think it's going to take untill corporation that pay for TV ADS figure this out...

Paying big buxs for the production, and distribution of a TV AD that's not getting the results they want because the target audiance can't afford to buy the product, isn't really worth it...

Now my views may be narrow minded, but I'm in minneapolis, and moved from louisiana 11 months ago... You meet and get to know alot of people in that time frame... I hang around target corporation employees ( I'm sure everyone knows how much they make ) but most of them don't even watch tv.

My old co-workers live pay check to pay check, and can bearly pay their rent, their form of entertainment is tv. Can they actually aford to buy a new car? how about that shinney new cellphone? or eat at jacks? no... lol...

TV ads worked in the past, when people with the means to purrchase items and services actually watched the programing. Now if those people do watch tv, they have a TIVO, fast foward right thru the ads...

Corporations are wasting their money advertising in the current tv market. It's just not as effective as it was 10 years ago.

My own current viewing habbits are, CSI...... Sunday Football (NFL SUNDAY TICKET DIRECT TV).... and I have a tivo...

My own viewing habbits when from spending 5pm to 10pm every day watching tv, to an hour or three a week..

But this is just me... not everyone is doing the same thing... I take in count that 171k per year goes into my bank account, and out on luxery items... Most of our money goes to entertainment (eating out, movies, bars, parties, exc) it's not hard to drop 400 per night... The point is, sorry for ranting if your like us, we never see TV ads, and most likely won't untill the super bowl, when they are really good! and the 12 people who work in the market down stairs, who can't even afford to buy something to eat, yet alone a new PS3, or anti aging cream... Most of their converstations start off with "Did you see ---- on tv last night".

Now granted tv mite be after kids, pre-training them to want the things they provide, and nagging parrents, but what kid is going to ask for anti aging cream, tampons, or pregressive car insurance, Not likely...

Again only from my own expirence, understanding, and what I've gathered form friends family members, co-workers, and those around me... Everyone is unique...

Product placement. You ever see someone eat or drink something in a TV show? Thats how the overcome TiVo, and it is probably more effective then traditional ads.
