    Yeah, wasn’t this one of the many shows they Foxed up by trying to air it during primetime, creating an obvious audience mismatch, panicking when the ratings didn’t top the charts and then moving it around through various time slots until it was canceled?

      Don’t forget how Fox wouldn’t even keep to a schedule. Shows would get bumped from their slots on an almost weekly basis to play baseball, “news flashes”, re-runs of movie franchises that had a new film coming out soon. It was like a 2/3 chance that the show you wanted to watch was even going to air in its usual time slot each week.

      Not different timeslots, the same one with random preemptions for baseball games. There was one point where the show missed 2 weeks in a row.
