Besides Married With Children and House, I can't think of any Fox shows that lasted a long time and kept its quality high.
As soon as the ratings dip, they don't question why viewers are leaving and see the need to improve its quality, the just say 'Fuck it, lets cancel it and put up something new.'
Dark Angel had an awesome 1st season, and they shit the bed with the 2nd season and the ratings tanked.
Rather than viewing what they did wrong and aimed to improve it on the 3rd season, they just cancelled it. Fucking lazy.
I don't watch Fox shows anymore, period.
I'd say that for me the big exception in terms of keeping the quality high is X-Files. It may have stumbled a bit after Duchovny left, but it was pretty consistently entertaining.
I'm not ready to give up on FOX just yet because, like I said, I think that they tend to produce a lot of interesting shows. Their stuff, as a whole, definitely tends to be more daring and imaginative than their network brothers ABC, NBC and CBS. The first seasons of Sleepy Hollow and Wayward Pines, for instance, were as interesting to me as the stuff you'd find on cable.
Hopefully they can figure their shit out and shore up their deficiencies.
