    Just finished watching all of seasons 1 and 2 and up to episode 5 in this season and wow...what a great show. With every passing episode, I'm just wondering how/why people aren't watching this show and how/why FOX decides to cancel it. I bet if they put it in a better time slot (like Thursday maybe?) I bet ratings will be better. I just hope that Comedy Central or another network picks them up. Great ensemble cast, great guest star appearances....I could watch Gob do the chicken dance for 30 minutes straight.

    I loved how they all had their own chicken impressions, and then in one of the last episodes, how they all had Godzilla impressions too! hahaha, I am going to miss that show so much.

    Obviously these types of people have problems and should consult an analrapist for help.

    I watched this show once. I couldn't relate to the characters, thus I stopped watching it.

    I can't really relate to any of these characters either(except for maybe Michael at times), but that hasn't stopped me from loving the show. I'm really gonna miss it when it's gone.

    Jesus, how many threads do we need on this show??

    Ok, it was the best show ever created in the history of television. I get it.

    The show requires watching more than one episode to understand (which is probably why it failed). I, too, saw one episode, got confused as to who was who, and didn't watch it again. Then, one of my wife's friends lent us the season one DVD set. We were instantly hooked.

    If you give it a chance, I GUARANTEE 100% you'll like it. I'm dead serious, too. Not 99%. Not 98%. 100 freaking percent. And to all of you who say, "But I watched it and hated it," you obviously did NOT watch enough episodes to understand the inside jokes, thus you are still on the outside looking in. Solution: watch more.

    I think this is a very well written show, also very humorous at times. That being said, I almost find myself watching just to see what will happen with the storyline next.

    It's heavily serialized. Almost like Lost, 24, or the first 2 years of Alias. I could understand why it was difficult for some people to get into it if they gave it a try halfway through the 2nd season.

    We need more. The impending cancellation is one of those "you knew mankind was heading down the toilet when they..." moments

    Seems like HBO could pick it up and go crazy. I think that might be the way to go.

    I can definitely understand it being cancelled. Your average TV watcher isn't going to like it, no matter what time it comes on.
