Then again, Fox keeps crap on TV (Simpsons of late) and takes off great shows like Family Guy (past) and Arrested Development. Well, the Simpsons have a fanbase that was likely many times larger than Family Guy generated in its first seasons. Even a less-funny, less-relevant Simpsons would outdo a new show that hadn't yet built up its own set of fans. On a numbers basis, I don't think Fox did anything particularly wrong, although it may have been shortsighted. I've been watching both shows since their inception and I truly find Family Guy far more entertaining, but that's not going to stop me from watching Simpsons.
