But still Reality shows are killing Network TV. FX, HBO, and showtime are now some of the only good places to watch.

What does this have to do with Reality TV? Because it's cheaper to produce? If a show is good enough and appeals to a broad enough audience, it will continue. AD just doesn't do well enough in the ratings. That's either a marketing problem or a stupid public problem, as we all know it isn't a quality issue.

Sucks they're not going to order a full 22 - but I would imagine AD, relative to other options (even other sitcoms) is very expensive to produce.

But I still have some hope... Fox is definitely testing the syndication waters right now, and likely they'll need more epsiodes (and with more episodes make more $). This revenue, combined with increasing DVD sales, could make the economics on this show palatable. Remember what happend with Family Guy - surely Fox does.

But yeah - dude, a George Lopez may suck, for example, and this is scary, but it kills AD in ratings. It's not even close (ew).
