Stranger things have happened.
FOX, traditionally, has been home to shows which, one way or another,
were edgier than those from the established US networks.
And I sense the recent writers' strike, and increasing use of PVRs by
viewers (who can zap commercials, potentially negating Neilson
ratings, good or bad) is changing the landscape for American broadcast
TV --- hopefully for the better.
Or maybe dear old Jeff Zucker at NBC will decided to come to the
rescue! <g>
