FOX chief makes funny joke

FOX network chief Peter Liguori says that he's looking for great comedy shows for the network, and encourages writers to pitch him ideas:"We have the best time slot on television to launch a show...if you're a comedy writer with a great idea, FOX is the place to come."
Two words Peter: Arrested Development.
Oh, I know, I know, the show isn't coming back. I'm not whining about it, and I'm not even saying it should come back. My point is that Liguori would make a statement like this with a straight face. FOX has had many great comedies over the past 10 years, and they've either canceled them, shuffled them around the schedule, or replaced them with lesser comedies.
You have the best time slot to launch a comedy? Hey, cancel The Loop and you'll have two.
