FUCK YOU, FOX!

[wields_a_pen]

I'm still fuming about "Arrested Development." I hurt all over. I'm pissed and this time, I'm not going to take it when FOX cancels a show I love.

It's time for a rant.

There are so many hilarious gems in this entry...if it were edited for length (and vulgarity, ha) it would be totally publishable. You are brilliant, I say.

Sorry about your show, though. :o(

Now, sleep. G'night.

[ma_ee_uh]

Assuming you wrote this. Wait. I see a source. Now I am confused. Ugh. I should be sleeping. Regardless, you are brilliant. Sleeping now.

[wields_a_pen]

Oh yes, I researched and wrote this whole thing during "Desperate Housewives" tonight. The only thing copied are the addresses at the end. This is all my anger, LOL.

Ha! Everytime I see your icon, I think it's Grace Manning, but that's actually Claire Danes, yes? Oh, O&A, another brilliant show cancelled before its time. *sigh*

I should be sleeping too. I have a flight to catch tomorrow... hoo-rah!

Woman. Unlock this. For I wish to pimp it mightily. For never have I laughed so hard at something so very very true. Godbless your godgiven ranting skills.

Also, do write letters - the folks from my savefarscape days used to say that one (well written, polite, etc) letter was the equivalent to .01 neilson vote, however that works, what is that, 1000 people? Something like that. So every letter really does count.

[wields_a_pen]

Ugh, I'm still just miserable about it.

Unlocked for your pimping pleasure. Seriously, if I can get even one person to write a letter, I'll feel just the tiniest bit better.

[shadesofbrixton]

Holy shit, you made voleuse's random fandom links list for the day. She's flocked, but trust me when I say? Huge honor. *fangirls you* (and omg you're the number one link. heeee.) /geek

yeah, you WISH you had this icon.

[wields_a_pen]

:0 COOL! I wish I could see it! :D

Like I've said, if I can talk one extra person into mailing a letter, I will consider this to be a job well done!

sweet jesus, a button down shirt has NEVER looked so good. Mmmmmmmmm.

i think little dublin needs to become campaign headquarters to get our show back on the air!!

[superstar915]

im all for it. can we also campaign to get jason bateman in my pants? or maybe it could be our pants if we work something out, i mean ya know cuz im cool with it if you are.

nice icon. but he's mine.

HAHA!

I guess I will have to rent the DVDs... I'm so sorry your show was cancelled, that sucks x 12345678910.

But "Pasadena" was just wonderful in its soapy goodness though :p

[wields_a_pen]

LMAO I totally forgot about "Pasadena" until I was researching all of the crappy FOX shows... Remember how that was supposed to be like the next big thing that season? Oh well, how typical of FOX...

OMG can you please rent this show?? Seriously, our TV tastes are too ridiculously in common for you to not have seen this show and have memorized every line! I don't want to overhype it for you (uhh probably too late for that, haha) but seriously, you will LOVE LOVE LOVE it! :D

[alienanthony]

I'm sold, I will be renting it.

But "Pasadena," like ABC's "Titans," didn't have much of a chance... most unfortunately, out and out, shamelessly obvious primetime soaps sort of thrived and died in the "Dynasty" and "Dallas" era... then I think "Melrose Place" was probably the end.

[wields_a_pen]

Yay! Once you watch a few episodes, let me know what you think! :D

Oh, Melrose Place... I never got hooked on that show, but I knew a million people who were beyond addicted! I got a good look at Desperate Housewives the other night and wasn't terribly impressed... I guess I just prefer my soaps on during the day. You can always depend on daytime drama to give you the LAMEST love scenes and most absurd plots. Speaking of which, has Jack died of his unknown disease yet or what??

See, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by how pissed I am over AD being cancelled. This is *exactly* how I felt when they fired Matt (again) back in '03!

[verbalthing]

Gah. This was both funny but also SO SAD to read. I fucking hate Fox. Does anybody else remember the cancelled show Undeclared that used to be on FOX? *rips hair out in rage* That show plus Firefly, Wonderfalls, AND Arrested Development? I am so writing them (even though I live in Sweden). Thanks for posting this.

[wields_a_pen]

Ooh, I forgot about Undeclared! Just another great show FOX killed off before it had a chance to find an audience... *sighs*

Yay! Please do write letters. I just posted another link up here with more addresses and the like. If I can encourage even one person to write in, I'll feel better! Spread the good word! :D
