Top 10 Biggest TV Biz Blunders of the Decade

10. Fox canceling "Family Guy" (and perhaps "Firefly" too)
Axed TV shows usually stay dead, yet two titles canceled by former Fox chief Sandy Grushow in 2002 refused to go quietly. One was Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy," which was moved around the schedule and was even put opposite top-rated hits "Survivor" and "Friends" before getting yanked. After the show's repeats got strong ratings on Adult Swim and netted big DVD sales, the comedy eventually made its way back to broadcast in 2005. "Family Guy" is now Fox's second-highest-rated scripted series and has produced a successful spinoff ("The Cleveland Show"). As for "Firefly," the show lived on as a theatrical movie ("Serenity") and to this day, no TV series cancellation inspires louder fanboy wails.

5. Election Night coverage in 2000...

1. Writers strike
Has there ever been a longer 14 weeks? The 2007-08 walkout was a largely avoidable mutually destructive act that occurred at exactly the wrong time. In addition to almost wiping out an entire pilot season, the strike sent shows into repeats, driving a ratings crash that broadcasters have not been able to recover from thanks to increased DVR use and viewers fleeing to cable. In the end, writers outmaneuvered conglomerates, but few felt as if they actually won.

This is making me want to go home and snuggle the aminals. Well, this and the nasty weather.

I don't know how to explain to people that they don't get a space on the homepage that addresses a tiny fraction of users' needs particularly when that need is addressed elsewhere, and navigation to it is relatively simple.

Oh joy. They've sent another email.

Frosting bag! That saves me a trip to The Container Store, where I'm sure they have just the right vessel, but for more than the organic, sweetener-free toothpaste cost in the first place.

I am a step closer to not paying some confusing unspecified cost for checking luggage. Sweet.

I'm looking through my Shop It To Me alert, and thought I'd share some lust objects. Jilli, these first two are for you as well.

If I had the money, I would be purchasing that Betsey Johnson swing coat right this instant. It would work perfectly with everything else in my wardrobe.

Someone actually handed me content to edit today!

Yikes!

I have nothing to put that into.

ita, I don't know how much effort you want to undertake, but camping/outdoor stores make reusable little plastic squeezy tubes. [link]

eta and it looks like you found a cheaper solution.

Too bad that when it returned it became one continuous rape joke.

OMG, I am watching an episode of The French Chef, where Julia is telling us how to throw a wine tasting party, and it's the greatest thing ever.

Speaking of FG I find it an odd omission that not one "best of the decade" roundup has honored Adult Swim. It was admittedly stronger at the beginning, but it is a unique and influential cultural thing that started a week before 9/11.
