I hear it was chopped though, like the syndicated episodes, so it wan't even the whole episode. Stupid Fox (or is that 'typical fox'?)

Peter: I got it! That's the guy from "Family Guy": Seth MacFarlane that's it! Oh funny guy, Seth MacFarlane. Everything he says is a stitch!
Seth : I'm unemployed.
Peter: Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Heh, clever copy of the Tom Hanks/Philadelphia gag (in the first episode?) but kinda cold :-)3 I hope Seth sticks with "Family Guy" ( selfish I know, but dammit I want "Family Guy" back on!).

On Wed, 03 Jul 2002 21:43:43 +0200, seguso Hey, could somebody please answer that damn question?
:-) And what the heck is FOX anyway?
I can't even get it via satellite-- I only get FOX kids and FOX news...
why?
Warren Bloom war...@NOalteregressSPAM.com
Man, we can only hope.
The Fox network is not a channel; it's literally a network. Stations around the country, billing themself as Fox affiliates, carry Fox programming during prime time. (Unlike the Big Three networks [CBS, NBC, ABC], Fox has no morning, daytime or late-night programming.) Perhaps your satellite might pick up a Fox affiliate, in which case you'd have to know its call letters-- e.g. the flagship station is WNYW in New York, although there are many others (see http://www.fox.com/links/affiliates.htm).
(Why do people capitalize "FOX"? It's not an acronym for anything.)

I don't know, it was just an irresistible urge...

No one has given up on "Family Guy". To do so would mean insulting the one show that means the world to most young men of today.
Peter: I'd like to say a couple of truths to the 'lazy bastards that have stopped writing in letters' in this audience : "It's your fault we have so much crime in this country and it's your fault we have so much violence in this country. You are ruining our society and you should be ashamed." :-)3

I suspect that FOX would have to release the rights to it and they don't want to for whatever reason.
People do it because that's the standard thing to do when referring to a network, though it may not be technically necessary. If you want to nitpick, CBS, NBC, ABC, MTV...those are not acronyms, either.

Did somebody mention "nit-picking"? :)3 But seriously...and I may be way off on these, but until I read your post, I was positive MTV was an acronym for "Music TeleVision", fairly sure NBC was the "National Broadcasting Corporation", almost convinced ABC was the "American (maybe ***ociated?) Broadcasting Corporation" (or company, in either of the latter two) and can't for the life of me think of what CBS could stand for...perhaps..."Corporate Broadcasting Service"? I dunno...
Sean Stalky1...@excite.com
I thought acronyms were only pronouncable abbreviations; ones that made words. Thus CBS is an abbreviation of Columbia Broadcasting System, but it's not an acronym per-se. On the other hand, LASER is... although it has pretty much become a word in its own right these days.
...Sean.
"Bao H. Lammy" BaoLa...@hotmail.com
Exactly. ;-) Read on...
MTV = Music Television; no need for TeleVision as TV is the standard abbreviation for television NBC = National Broadcasting Company ABC = American Broadcasting Company CBS = Columbia Broadcasting System ...and as for nitpicking <g>, none of these are "acronyms," but rather abbreviations. I was joking around as it seemed you were nitpicking about FOX/Fox, but yet your own post couldn't survive the nitpick test itself. As a final (?) note about capitalizing FOX, see www.fox.com; there, you'll see that FOX is capitalized by FOX itself, and the three letters standing by themselves are a copyrighted unit. FOX is their chosen (and legally enforced) way of referring to themselves -- officially "Fox Broadcasting Company.
For a crystal example: http://www.fox.com/corporate/terms.htm They apparently felt that FOX was more catchy than FBC. I'd have to agree. If you really want to get nitpicky, FOX is actually a trademark of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, which licenses it out to Fox Broadcasting Company. (btw, they do use the letters FBC as well.)

Sorry, just noticed that I just posted a response to "E.L. Keenan" thinking that party was also the previous poster, who was actually "Warren Bloom." I also failed the nitpick test! ;-)

Bao H. Lammy wrote after the message below: (Thank for the public disclaimer! I thought I was going nuts.) Thanks for the save! While we're at it, since people seem curious about it anyway, here are some more US-based TV abbreviations: WB = Warner Bros.
UPN = United Paramount Network VH1 = Video Hits One HBO = Home Box Office TNN = The National (formerly Nashville) Network A&E = Arts & Entertainment TLC = The Learning Channel And some acronyms: We = Women's Entertainment (the "e" is lowercase) YES = Yankees Entertainment Station I ***ume we all agree that FOX and SKY don't stand for anything, and are just catchy names ("Fox" from 20th Century Fox, and "Sky" from...?). It seems that only reason that people capitalize FOX and SKY is because that's how they're written on their promotional materials, like the web sites and their logo. But they also sometimes capitalize "20TH CENTURY FOX BROADCASTING COMPANY, INC." on the web sites as a matter of legal convention, and in normal writing one wouldn't do such a thing. And Showtime capitalizes its name in its logo, but refers to itself otherwise using lowercase. So I wonder whether FOX and SKY are really _supposed_ to be in capitals... I ***ume they encourage it to make the name stand out alongside other three-capital names like CBS, NBC, ABC and BBC. Then again, We uses the _lowercase_ "e" to appear hip and stand out too...

Just happened to have my trusty edition of "The Canadian Writers Reference" beside me, and stumbled across this the other day when I was leafing through looking for something...
It says: "Capitalize abbreviations for departments and agencies of government, other organizations, and corporations; capitalize trade names and the call letters of radio and television stations".
(Not nitpicking either, just thought I'd share what I had read the other day...) Mike
