Pitch-O-Rama - Fox wants your ideas!
"Attention animators, writers, artists, and students: Here’s your chance to pitch your ideas to a major network in FOX’s first-ever “Pitch-O-Rama.” Creative individuals who have a fresh, innovative idea for an animated comedy show are encouraged to submit their material together with a signed release form. Each individual may submit no more than two projects and each project must be submitted separately and accompanied by a separate release form.
Your idea could become the next FOX hit. Good luck!"

Looks like they need another show to be preempted by sports programming.  What do you think about this? Is this an act of desperation because they think Hollywood writers are so bad, or are they reaching out to the common man?
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

I'll second that idea. 
Biggest mistakes Fox has made recently is the cancellation of these two animated programs. Both were cutting edge adult animated humor, and both are widely popular amount a growing number of people (especially now that the DVD Boxed-Sets are out). It's too bad they were playing David vs. Goliath with Futurama (pre-empting it for Football  ), and Pin the tail on the Timeslot with Family Guy.

How about NFL Death Squad- Every week the team tries to prevent their own pre-emption and eventual cancellation at the hands of muscled moronic overpaid jocks who can't tell time.

I'll have to go with Will. Fox clearly cancelled the wrong shows and history will look at them and say "what WERE they thinking?"

Here's a link to the submission agreement, for those of you who don't want to submit your e-mail address.
Quote:
|
All submissions must be postmarked no later than September 15, 2003, and must be received no later than September 22, 2003, in order to be considered.
|
They're sure not giving much time. (You also have to get the submission agreement notarized before you send it.)

From their FAQ:
I sent an e-mail asking why they don't just bring back Family Guy and Futurama.

Why not, unless they cannot get back the production crews. It doesn't really matter, virtually any show that is put in those 7:00-8:00 timeslots is going to fail. I wish that Fox just put "Futurama" in the 8:30 slot after X-Files ended, and moved "Malcolm" to 9:00 which by then could stand on its own in most timeslots. As I recall, "Futurama" did pretty well in the ratings in the brief time it followed "The Simpsons"
