Man, I remember when they did that poo poo to Futurama when I was in elementary school. What is it with Fox and pre-empting poo poo?

...actually, now that I think about it, that might be another "holy poo poo we are legitimately afraid of getting bad press over this show's content" thing in Golan's case. e: And now that I look at it, apparently the PTC has attempted to raise up a shitstorm about it. Huh. Didn't pick up much traction, though. WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Jul 1, 2015 |

I don't get why they would be squeamish about it now, though. They knew what they were getting into before moving it to the main Sunday lineup.

...the Women's World Cup lead-in audience, perhaps? That's what I was thinking: there can't be that much demographic overlap between the two things, so pre-empting it regardless might be a good plan.

I thought you just meant Fox's general fuckery with the schedule. I also didn't realize until just now that there are only 2 more episodes to air.

LORD OF BUTT posted:This show really isn't picking up much of a following, is it? I don't think Fox ever intended to market the show. Just dump it off in the summer and run it. The end. At least it didn't go the way of Murder Police. LORD OF BUTT posted:...actually, now that I think about it, that might be another "holy poo poo we are legitimately afraid of getting bad press over this show's content" thing in Golan's case. Nah. Fox isn't the type to cancel something over content being too racy. The PTC are a joke at this point.

This show has it's moments but overall it's not great. The pacing and delivery seem wonky. Mad respect to Aubrey Plaza though, I assumed she would just be doing the voice she did on Parks&Rec, but it's actually very different with good range.

The preemption this weekend isn't all that unusual since it's a holiday weekend. If they really didn't care about the show, they would probably be more inclined to run it than not.

I really hope Fox decides not to poo poo-can Golan when its ratings inevitably don't improve at the end of its run. They did a great job moving ADHD to FXX, and since Golan at least got SOME exposure on the main network, it would be a great anchor/flagship for the ADHD block. I mean, poo poo, Stone Quackers is getting a second season over there (not a diss on SQ, which is actually pretty fun once you give it a chance, just that it's so regularly bizarre that its survival is impressive), so there's no reason not to keep it moving. I also got a real kick out of "Mr. and Mrs. Insatiable" and the stoner jokes from this most recent episode. I'm easy to please.

I kind of like this show, even if it doesn't quite know what to do with itself. It's a shame most people don't know it exists.

Last night's finale episode had some damned good animation in it, too...too bad it'll probably just fade into obscurity and take 2-3 years before Fox bothers to put it on a DVD or Blu-Ray. Then people will crow about how they loved how ~edgy~ the show was like all the hipsters do/did with Ren and Stimpy.

I was less impressed with the animation last night, it was very Ren and Stimpy with the random cuts to more realistic frames. Even when it wasn't doing that the animation seemed, I don't know, different. I still like the show, but some of the previous episodes a lot more. The fight scene was really good though.

I don't know what I like better: "Do you know how to beat a pregnant teen? Because you sure don't look like an Islamic fundamentalist to me," the piped-in laughter afterward, or Keith looking directly at the "camera" and smirking. Perfect.

I don't know, this show sort of seems like it's flailing to find humor anywhere it can and a lot of it kind of hurts. Wacky accents, hacky pot jokes, random movie references, dumb meta gags, tonal dissonance as humor -- it's all just too much and the characters are drowning under all the schtick. Plaza is doing a fine job, but Riggle's been chewing the scenery like a maniac and it's not helping the jokes any. They've also really been playing up the "sissy" side of his character and I don't think it really works. Golan is better when he's being lazy and indifferent than when he's whining and throwing tantrums. Meanwhile, Dylan seems to be gradually morphing into Stewie Griffin. I really like these characters and I wish this season hadn't spent so much time making them impossible to care about. I really would like this show to come back and get a chance to find its footing (it doesn't seem likely, but hell, Mr. Pickles got renewed somehow and that show is just a turd), but if it's gone for good, I probably won't spend too long in mourning. At least this thread got me to read the SA articles. They're really quite good.

I really like these characters and I wish this season hadn't spent so much time making them impossible to care about. I felt the same about this season, honestly. The first one was great, but while this season had its moments it just didn't feel the same in tone or writing quality. It didn't help that I could never get used to Riggle's dudebro voice instead of Miller's on-point growling.

Well, I've liked it. This macabre humor is right up my alley. And Aubrey Plaza > Mary Mack. Question: so that oil-can or whatever that falls out of the sky to cream Keith in the last episode... is that referencing something I'm supposed to get? I have zero idea why it's shown inexplicably falling from the clouds, and it seems like that's supposed to mean something. ninotoreS fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jul 24, 2015 |

It was the keg Golan threw skyward at the quarry party.

Mr. Pickles got renewed because it's on Adult Swim and they'll renew anything that isn't overly expensive or giving them bad buzz, pretty much. This is on Fox and I'm pretty sure this season is all we're getting. Hopefully they'll push Major Lazer to broadcast too, that show is the other highlight of ADHD for me.

This is on Fox and I'm pretty sure this season is all we're getting. We made Major Lazer specifically to FXX standards while the half hour Golans were made to Fox primetime S&P. I highly doubt any other ADHD shows will "graduate" to Fox proper.
