This clearly shows how Fox has treated this show. They have kept it when the ratings might not have justifed it, but then they put it in terrible time slots and tell it to win or die. Or as they have done lately, it is off for a month, then an episode runs and then it isn't on for another month. How can it build an audience when it is never on?

I was hoping from the headline they were speaking about Saddam.

Sorry. I've never watched the show. I just wanted to link that so I could find it later.

Same as they did with Action! (or was that on FX?). BTW: Action! will be out on DVD in mid-Feb. I can hardly wait!!!

I am not surprised that MITM is going out. When it moved to Fridays, I knew that it will be out. I used to watch the show, but I stopped watching it after 2003.

Agreed. I think it is a fresh, clever show and Jason Bateman is brilliant in it. It's a shame they don't give things a chance.

Fox is notorious for this. Just like Undeclared. That show was great, killed it about 6 or 7 shows in. Never gave it a chance to build an audience.

No one watched Everybody Loves Raymond or Seinfeld the first few years. Look how well those shows ended up doing.

I love the show. Undoubtedly the best sitcom since I don't know when. I feel kinda of guilty for not watching it more (not that I'm in a Nielsen household), but who can blame me when they move it around all the time? I'll definitely be getting all the episodes on DVD though.
