My weekly Sunday night television routine:
8:00pm: Watch The Simpsons*.
8:30pm: Channel surf for 30 minutes.
9:00pm: Watch Family Guy.

Fox 5 has cheapened journalism just by attaching the "Fox" name to its newscast. But it crossed the line last season when its top story on the 10pm news every Monday night was related to 24. Not in the hard-hitting terrorism-related sense, but more in the "WHY IS 24 THE ...
