Futurama, the beloved futuristic drama of Simpsons creator Matt Groening, was inexplicably and unfairly canceled from Fox’s schedule but later found a home on the up and coming late night Adult Swim period airing on Cartoon Network. It flourished there for years usually playing either in the 11/10 or 11:30/10:30 slot which was, of course, perfect timing. It was after any prime time television and was a nice night cap to the evening’s television. It always fared well in the prime demographic. Comedy Central however bought it and has now placed it in the worst time slot to ever exist. Smack dab in a prime time slot of 9/8. Of course I am not suggesting they should bump either The Daily Show or the Colbert Report for it but what about 10:30/9:30? After all its a show that has done well in a late night slot and typically Comedy Central uses the 9:30 slot for…crap. I respect that Comedy Central has grown immensely in the past few years, thanks given almost entirely to South Park and Jon Stewart but there is typically crap on the channel. Best shows being The Daily Show, South Park, The Colbert Report, The Sarah Silverman Show, and Reno 911. Yes! In that order. Every thing else is mediocre at best (lets not count reruns of other network shows). Oh and if anyone thinks Carlos Mencia is nothing more than a catchphrase and a poor, poor replacement for Chappelle then you are deluding yourself. With all the crap they air you’d think they’d given a proven ratings grabber a decent time slot. Did they? No. They said let it compete against shows like Heroes, Reaper, Bionic Woman, Supernatural, The Office, Grey’s Anatomy, and House. I know you’re thinking with a show airing daily you’re bound to come up with stiff competition from someone. Oh rly? ya rly? Let’s take a look at that 10:30/9:30 slot. CSI Miami, Boston Legal, Dirty Sexy Money, and ER. That’s the most competition. So I would like to hate on Comedy Central for a minute. I knew the move from AS to them wouldn’t be perfect but I didn’t expect them to chose such a horrible slot. Gosh I’d almost rather they put it on at 8/7 than this. I guess I’ll finally have to get the dvd’s. I hope they’re happy. Paying for tv? Pffft!
