Fox to Seek Viewer Feedback Online
Fox is inviting viewers to weigh in on programming and marketing decisions via a deal the broadcaster inked with technology firm Passenger.
Under the deal, Fox will launch an online community for viewers in the 18-to-49 demo to express their programming preferences.
Fox will use Passenger’s software tools to gauge viewer response to programming, elicit feedback on plot direction, character and marketing, and research TV and online viewing habits. Fox will start the project by enlisting feedback for suggestions in promoting fall programming.
Fox has invited subscribers from its email marketing list to join its new community.

Well, I guess being 54 my opinion simply doesn't count. Nice PR, Fox.

Do you really want to open te floodgateas like this? All of the fans angered over the bumbling handling of shows like "Firefly" (There is more pure quality in 14 episodes of "Firefly" than in the entire existence of pure garbage like "American Idol" or "The Simple Life") "Futurama", "Strange Luck", "John Doe" and any number of other great shows that you people cancelled pre-maturely.
Don't you realize how pissed people get when they get into a show, and then the network pulls the plug without giving the fans *any* resolution?
I actively avoid new shows from Fox (like "Drive") for this exact reason. I see no reason to view your shows, no matter how appealing they may seem, when 9 times out of 10 you people will drop the axe on an active storyline and leave your viewers hanging (Like "Drive").
The way I see it, if a FOX show seems like interesting and quality entertainment and *actually* gets re-newed for a second season, I can always catch up on what I missed by way of Netflix (I'm looking at you Sarah Conner).

Get ready to hear from a lot of pissed off Arrested Development fans.

Drive sucked, live with it.

I've always enjoyed the FOX Network for stepping outside the box and giving us the viewers the kinds of shows we want to watch instead of the same old boring tv formula fueled shows. However in the last 10 years, I've really hated FOX for constantly canning good or great shows, that they hardly advertised, in favor of keeping bad shows on the air because their cheaper to make. As of last year, I'm throwing my full support behind the FX network - because they at least have faith in their shows, from the start, whether their good or bad.. ratings aren't their primary focus like it is for the other networks.

Comment about So You Think You Can Dance. The Wardrobe Department knows nothing about prison life if they think that orange suits, featured in a hip-hop dance, are cool or glamorous. The young inmates I teach have often been neglected, abused, ignored by adults in their lives. They are mostly illiterate, emotionally poor, and lack the skills for a good job. They are the saddest people I know. Orange suits are a sign of despair, helplessness, and every bad thing in our society. Orange suits are as glamorous as a pile of dung.

House episode 84
If I wanted to see two lesbians making out I would have rented a porn.
This scene was totally inappropriate.
Paul Halsey
I agree.
Stephanie Moon
Lesbian scenes are unacceptable. First the House scene and then the Bones scene. My entire family watches House and Bones faithfully, but we will all tune out the next time this happens on either show. Consider your audience--all of it--instead of just the 1% percent of people who are gay!!!!!
You will lose viewers--make your own decision.

How would I go about contacting a producer or writer for the House Drama series.
Have an idea for a exceptional season ending drama.
Thank you,

I will make this simple. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 'KING OF THE HILL' MARATHONS 'FX NETWORK' USE TO RUN? my inner Hank Hill is irate. Please take this into consideration. Thank u 4 taking the time to read this (assuming this reaches anyone at all).

I cannot emphasize to much the frustration with the overtalking that occurs on many shows. Dammit if a guest is important enough to be invited they surely merit being allowed to complete a sentence or two.

We listen most of the day to Fox News. We appreciate hearing the other side of the story and "yes buts" to D.C. announcements, but I am becoming concerned with the tone of the commentator's voices. To me they sound like a younger child telling a parent about the no-no behavior of the older child, or "that's a dumb idea". I'd like to hear more of an objective tone of voice and let me draw my own conclusions. I realize there is a lot of down news, but I need to hear from guests that can give some hope for the future.

Hello Fox ,
You have heard of the Stockholm syndrome , coined as a result of bank employees who were held captive by bank robbers in Sweden but became sympathetic with their abusers the way Patty Hurst did in the U.S. That is what abused followers of the religious who tell us we are born outside of spiritual wedlock , and are spiritual bastards , have done . Where is your courage ? Billy Graham , yes the great " Billy Graham" , got on Larry King Live and said " If it's sex you want , it will be there , when asked what heaven is like by King . Then he said every sin he ever committed was in his face , when he asked God to receive him in his kingdom after thinking he was dying . This is the man who preached Jesus forgives receive him and go to heaven for sixty years . Ladies , we can't even get rid of the abuse in this man's heaven , nor that of the terrorist who kill for God like Moses did all the male children and all the female children who were not virgins , and kept the virgins or themselves , as ordered . And you reported that people should not criticize ? What is the " rest of the story" ? I have the " rest of the story" , and I tell it like it is . " Do you know who I am" as all of the arrogant men ask . I have worked for America , not against her .
All of the ways and means of Jehovah God are as corrupt and violent as that of the Islamic terrorist' " God" , but where is your courage , and fortitude , Fox ? Why not report , and yes America has decided . Do you understand what you read in holy books ? Just because someone calls themselves prophets and reports something does not make it true . Was Balaam Schizophrenic when he head a donkey talk ? Was Moses schizophrenic when he saw a bush on fire ? Was Sigmund Freud a coward when he discovered that his colleagues were abusing women and children but Freud called them hysterical when he discovered that he had to compromise in order to have a career ? he did recant later , however . Lets call a spade a spade .
My lexicon is refreshing .Nothing changes until thinking changes !

I sent this to several networks because it needs to be heard guy's~ Hello there,( I'm a 52 year old man (but youthful people think I'm 35), that was a boy during most of the 60's and part of the 70's.
I grew up in the heart of the "electronic baby sitter" era.. every fri and sat night, and few spots on week nights, there would be some great programing to look forward to. Now, what do we have....25 versions of law and order, CSI in every city (will CSI go to the moon?) criminal minds, and it's just awful... I can hear you saying "change the channel", but it's everywhere...criminal intent,south land, medium etc. Can a tired guy come home, after dealing with the "real" world outside, and click on nice bit of escape television? I don't get it, I really don't. It's sad really. This is the first time I'm writting any network.
I don't expect anything will come of this message, but really guy's..have a heart, I don't like flipping through the channels and in a brief second catch a knife piercing someone's sternum! There are nights I have to just turn off the TV! And I LOVE watching TV! This stuff belongs on cable and after 10pm. it's worse than porn! I hope the pendulum swings in the other direction, and soon! Thanks for listening~T.V. Miami FL.

Please stop showing Family Guy on your network. It is repulsive and offensive to families that believe in even basic morality and to people of faith.
Tom Rinehart
I am about to GAG on all the Kennedy coverage. He wasn't that great or deserving of such attention. For Gods sake move on....

I have just watched the first hour of the "House" season premier. This is the dumbest storyline idea anyone ever had. I will not be watching "House", until the show returns to Greg House being the unique character he should be. Get rid of the Psych. Hospital and the staff, they'll find unemployment isn't so bad.
