When did Friday night stop being a television destination? Did the 2000s usher in a generation of youngsters who no longer stayed in to watch their favorite shows on the first night of the weekend?

FOX really makes me sad. I feel as if I remember a time when I actually cared about what it aired, but as I review what it offered these last three decades, I keep finding myself being disappointed.
