I can't believe how many people are upset over Family Guy and Spongebob! Before they were cancelled people weren't supporting them at all! Now they want them back.
I can understand Futurama and Invader Zim, although I can understand why anyone would miss these shows.

You should put an "all of the above" option on. Without these shows having new episodes, I might actually slow down watching TV, unless more new shows come out that had the same effect as these shows did.

futurama.
the most intelligent and unique show on TV at the moment. Not saying it's my favourite, but it sticks it's arm and little fingers into areas where other prime time doesn't dare.
It's unique and original - like any show which deals with sci-fi, it has to be creative. If beats the Simpsons hands down and pretty much any other programme - despite being conisered as just another 'toon.
I will miss it. We all should. It was what ALL programmes should be. Top of the genre, relying on no gimmicks and exploiting it's resources to the full.
Another fatal mistake by networks which rely on idiots as the source of their commisioning and scheduling.
Very sad.

Futurama...but Zim is a close second. It was incredibly intelligent.

I picked family guy, although it was tough choosing between it and futurama. If i could have chosen both, i would have. Invader Zim and Spongebob *shrug* I never watched them, they were on nickelodeon a channel which has not been known for good cartoons in well over a decade.

I voted Zim. I never got to see it. I got to see the glory of Futurama (second choice) and knew it was great. But Nick deprived of a chance to see something that sounded so wonderful... Stupid me for never finding out when it was on.

Ack, no more Spongebob? I had a lot of friends who really loved that show, I thought it was very cute and entertaining. But I voted for Futurama. It was something different, and very amusing, and I would have liked to of seen it gone on longer, oh well.

Futurama
Family Guy
Live action Tick in that order.
Also, I still miss Lone Gunmen. That was an awesome show. There is the Chronicle on Sci Fi and I love that show, but it hardly replaces Lone Gunmen.

Futurama
Zim
Tick
In that order. Why wasn't this poll set up so that we could vote for more than one show?

I still don't support them. :cool:
Exactly the same thing is happening at the TTTP with LNB&W. People always criticized it for not being good, and now that it is about to be cancelled, they want it to stay, saying that it was a good show. People don't make sense!

Invader Zim, definetly. I liked Futurama, but I almost never got a chance to watch it. It's still a close second, though.

I really consider invader zim to be the best animated series *EVER*. Yes, better than every single show I was raised on and anything I could ever possibly hope to write myself.
My order would be zim,zim,zim,zim,zim,futurama,tick, then pretty much everything else is several empty space behind. Family guy wasnt too good plotwise, but for plain old humor, I will definately miss it... It was one of the few shows gaurunteed to make me laugh out loud at least once, even with noone else in the room (VERY rare for me) mainly because of the constant references to 80`s pop culture.

I voted for The Tick, w/ Family Guy holding a close second. I never really saw any of the other shows listed. Guess i'll never get to now...

Family Guy, with Futurama an extremely close second, practically a tie. Two great shows that just didn't get the break or recognition they rightfully deserved... RIP, dear friends :(

Both Zim and Futurama will continue to air until they run out of new episodes! Zim jumps around nick`s schedule a lot but is usually on friday nights at 9:00 or 9:30 or occassional sundays at 1:00 pm.
Futurama has always been sundays at 7, but I`ve heard rumors of a thursday night timeslot (ugh)
As for spongebob, it`s been cancelled a while but it must be on ten or fifteen times a day on nick :P
Just find someone`s house who has tv channels you don`t and make up an excuse!

If anyone wants to sign a petition to save Family Guy or Futurama, go to nohomers.net. The Family Guy petition has over 50,000 signatures so far.
Also, if you want The Critic back on TV (and see the new episodes that are now on the internet), nohomers.net has a link to them as well.

Invader ZIM. As soon as I first saw it, I had a reason to watch Nickelodeon. It instantly become one of my favorite non-anime cartoons. It needs to come back, period. End of story. Futurama is my second choice. Put simply, it was shot down too early, just when it was getting good.
