What Else From FOX?

by Toni

As I mentioned before, FOX also has two new cartoon comedies airing this year,  these are The Cleveland Show and Sit Down, Shut Up.  I don’t really think of cartoons as adult entertainment, even after 20 years of The Simpsons, so I’m not going to discuss these more than just telling you they exist.

All but one of the remaining comedies on FOX are also cartoon comedies, Family Guy, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons.

The only returning sitcom is Til Death.  For some reason, I never could get into this show.  I remember watching the first ep, eagerly, expecting a lot.  We were actually on vacation at the time, and I stopped what I was doing to see it.  I was pretty disappointed and I really never went back.  Oh, I’ve caught bits of different eps, here and there, but I just don’t get it.  Maybe I expected Robert from Everybody Loves Raymond.  I don’t know.

So along with Outnumbered and Do Not Disturb, this is all FOX has to offer by way of sitcoms this year.  Apparently, FOX, a network that I’ve mentioned many times before loves to kill off shows, is now planning to kill of the sitcom.

I guess I should give in and just accept that cartoons are also sitcoms, but I just can’t.  First of all, I think cartoons are stupid.  I just do.  Years and years ago, I used to read Life in Hell by Matt Groening, and I loved it.  I never could get The Simpsons, though.  It always seemed so whiny and self-indulgent to me.  I know people are gonna attack me for that opinion, but its just what I think.

So FOX is delivering us a slate of cartoons, which, from my point of view, clearly shows the dumbing down of America.
