Dids - Hahaha that's pretty amusing. As a sidenote, although I love David Cross, my friend who was a writer for Oliver Beene (a show he voiced the narrator character for) noted Cross is a super curmudgeon who hates the "industry", so you know, he could be biased somewhat.

In terms of raw numbers - I believe Fox spent a good amount of $ on paid media, and I recall seeing a good amount of on-air promos. So while the marketing message may have not hit the right chord with America to make AD a hit... could any marketing have done that?

This is an incredibily difficult show to market... and really it's questionable it could ever be a "hit" by network broadcast standards, even with optimal marketing. (This is America's fault for having bad taste IMO.) We're having the same problems with Sons & Daughters (a mid-season very much with the feel of AD, btw I like this show and would recommend it to AD fans).

Hoping AD Gets Picked Up By Showtime,
