But, get a look at the weaslley way they arranged it....

The FOX television network announced Tuesday that it will move forward with a sixth season of its hit drama "Empire." However, there are no plans to bring back the character portrayed by Jussie Smollett, who claimed earlier this year he was a victim of a hate crime that police said was fabricated.

"By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett's option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to 'Empire,'" FOX said in its statement Tuesday.

“Does anyone who, is a conservative American watch any of the bs fairy tales on Fox TV?”

Ditto for Netflx which has started making “$hit” movies on it’s own while raising prices again. Bout ready to cancel them!

We gave up on Netflx years ago for what you posted:

“I think many in the left honestly believe they can simply speak things to truth.”

Nah, it’s called “getting over on Whitey!” It’s the “easy part” of reparations! We get to “do $hit” and you have to let us get away with it as “compensation for slavery” although none of us have ever been slaves.

So is Robert DeNiro, but I bet he gets other acting gigs.

Yeah, when it was nine bucks a month, it didn’t matter whether we watched anything or not. Now they’re heading to $17. We are in the process of eliminating AT&T from our lives. Just cancelled DirecTV and U-verse in our beach home. We had had U-verse internet with a VOIP phone for about $60. No one used the house phone so we cancelled it, hoping to save $30. But surprise, surprise, we “broke our bundle,” so now the bill for U-verse internet only was going up to $90! The DirecTV, which is now also AT&T was over $150. per month, so we checked with our next door neighbors and they have Comcast that covers everything for less than the DTV bill we have been paying. AT&T is the biggest $hit company on the planet! Run by scumsuckers who are using Wahwai G5 hardware in Mexico, the seditious ba$tards.

No, Fox has always killed shows that I liked, without giving the shows proper promotion or time slots that would build/attract an audience.

Fox was probably the biggest promoter of crap reality shows too, such as "Who Wants to Marry a Wife-Beater?" (Or was it "Millionaire"?)

Fox was split up in 2019 and is a Disney/ABC subsidiary. They will be revamped to drive down the brand and reflect poorly across the news division which is no longer owned by Rupert Murdoch but by his liberal children.
