Fox Show On Trial

Hollywood – It was reported today that organized fans of the FOX comedy program “Ally McBeal” had filed a class action law suit against the already besieged studio, charging the company with “Gross Neglect, and Mental Cruelty” in their failure to air new episodes of the show. “Our clients have waited patiently for weeks”, said the groups attorneys, adding, “We plan to ensure that studios in the future will be put on notice that airing a program, and then abruptly substituting repeat episodes will no longer be tolerated”. Though a new installment of the show was aired last week, yet another repeat is set for this Monday, prompting criticism from some viewers who felt the studio, after saving up for a month, in the words of Paul Ferry, aired a quote, “Good show, but it seemed to me like they blew their entire wad on this one. Now we have to wait again. My wife would never let ME get away with that!” Representatives from FOX had little to say other than, “Production problems have caused us to delay taping of new episodes, but we want to FOX spokesmen went on to assure the fans they will once again resume as soon as the problems are worked out. We are committed to bringing them a fresh show, which accurately depicts today’s issues which they all face day after day. We hope they can all learn from the situations the characters experience, and hope it will inspire them in their own lives”

   What sparked the outrage were the off record comments made after the announcement, as reported exclusively by The Weekly Cynic”:

   “There’s no special reason for it, we’re just sick of working 16 hour days for a bunch of malcontented, lonely losers that for some idiotic reason, seem to believe these characters exist, and pattern their own pathetic lives after a TV show. It seems there are morons out there that will believe anything“

   The exact amount being sought in the suit was not disclosed, but according to attorneys, it would be filed sometime by the close of business today, as soon as a related hearing is completed in which the FOX corporation is seeking to reverse a judge's ruling that the class action suit's proceedings be allowed to be aired on their new Thursday night show, “World’s Craziest Court Cases I”
