Fox Domination

This seems to happen on a weekly basis:

Last night FOX aired encores of THE SIMPSONS (1.8/6 among Adults 18-49), THE CLEVELAND SHOW (1.8/6) and FAMILY GUY at 9p (2.3/6) and 9:30p (2.3/6), and won the night among Adults 18-34 and Teens ...

What I want to know is, why can't any other teevee animation producers replicate the kind of successes Fox Animation and Gracie Films achieve year in and year out?

Anytime another big 4 network dips their toe in the animation waters, they immediately pull it out and run.

Besides, Family/Dad's base isn't so much of an actual audience, as an ADD support-club:
They don't watch other shows that run at normal speed with linear storytelling.

No, seriously: Have YOU ever had a normal human conversation where the other person suddenly broke off and started quoting a Star Trek episode in mid-conversation?

(And if you have...then you are well acquainted with the larger fanbase of the show--
Long social interactions confuse them.) ;)

That didn't used to be a crime.

Hey Dude! What the hell is your problem? The shows are doing well and keep union members employed. What jealous that you never made it? Maybe you should have concentrated on your work instead of hoisting a few at the Blarney Stone inbetween your scab work!
