TV Network

The Resume

    (October 9, 1986- )
    Complete name is FOX Broadcasting Company
    Owned by News Corporation
    Shows include 'The Simpsons,' '24,' 'American Idol,' 'Married with Children,' 'Cops' and '21 Jump Street'
    Flagship station is WNYW-5 in New York City

Why FOX (TV Network) might be annoying:

    Rupert Murdoch.
    Unlike the other three major networks, it doesn't have an evening newscast.
    No matter its status on television, it will always be known as 'the fourth network.'
    It seems it only wins a weekly ratings race when it shows the Super Bowl or the World Series that week.
    It has allowed obvious ballot-stuffing to occur on 'American Idol.'
    It launched several trailer-trash reality shows such as 'Temptation Island,' 'Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire,' 'The Simple Life' and 'The Swan.'
    It was the location for awful late night shows from Chevy Chase and Magic Johnson.
    It spun off the Fox News Channel and countless other networks with the Fox name.
    It inspired other studios to start their own small-time broadcast networks (The WB, UPN).
    It inspired other studios to buy out other major networks (i.e. Disney buying ABC).

Why FOX (TV Network) might not be annoying:

    It is home to the longest-running animated show of all time, 'The Simpsons.'
    It launched two of the most unintentionally funny dramas of all time, 'Beverly Hills 90210' and 'Melrose Place.'
    It got some credibility once it bought the rights to NFL and Major League Baseball games.
    It doesn't have those afternoon soap operas.
    Some of its seed affiliates were derived from the defunct DeMont network, which was the first licensed American network.
    It has a swift animal name, and it can be pronounced as one syllable (not three letters).
    It is the only one of the four major networks to not be called 'bullshit' in Bright Eyes' song 'To Love and to be Loved.'
