Fox TV
reviews and complaints

My husband, my friends, my family and I TOTALLY AGREE that Joe Buck is TERRIBLY biased against the Astros. His announcing is completely one sided, no matter who the Astros are playing. He doesn't even try to hide it. The one game he took off and they brought someone else in to announce with Smoltz was the very best announced game to date because it was balanced commentary about the baseball both teams were playing. They actually talked baseball, gave kudos to both sides when something great was done.
Last night in game 4, when Chirinos hit the foul pole for his homer, Joe Buck actually groaned out loud on the microphone. He didn't even call the play! He totally reminds me of Bob Costas who also hates all Houston teams.
So Joe...if you are going to continue to be an announcer, someone needs to teach you how to perform balanced communication. And seriously, don't talk about things you don't understand and have never done.

It's completely unfair that Fox airs Carolina Panthers games in East Tennessee, I am a Tennessee resident and work 60 hours a week, pay state taxes, I deserve to watch them play on Sundays..
I'm complaining about not getting Titans games on fox, I live in Tennessee and can't watch them play, just let the "state" of "Tennessee" watch the "Tennessee" Titans

I've been looking forward to my show every week on Wednesdays. I'm very upset that they decided not to air The Masked Singer this week because something else was more important. It says in the show that it would be on every Wednesday but this week I guess you decided not to? Hopefully this will not happen again, some of us don't care about your other shows so I guess we're not as important? Rude!

I usually take what social media complains about with a grain of salt, but they have nailed it regarding Joe Buck's bias against the Astros. I thought it was a bias toward the Yankees. I thought it would end when the Astros beat the Yankees in the ALCS Championship and advanced to the World Series.

Tonight, watching Game 1 of the World Series, it was clear that Joe Buck favored the Nationals. I can only be left with the conclusion: Joe Buck is biased AGAINST the Houston Astros! It's the only viable explanation for the favorable comments about the opposing team and virtually no positive comments regarding the Astros and theor achievements. He's not openly negative about them, but rather he is neutral making only staements of fact about previous Astros games, such as Altuve's walk off homer in Game 6 of the ALCS Championship. He wasn't talking about how great it was, just stating that it happened.

Fast forward to WS Game 1. I wish I would have kept count of how many times he discussed Soto's homer and Soto's abilities INCLUDING the breakdown of Soto's swing on more than one "break" from live play!

What gives, Joe? If you don't like the Astros, don't work their games! No shame in having an opinion, only a problem with showing bias as a commentator.

I am deeply disappointed and angry that Fox has decided to delay the return of Last Man Standing until 2020. I have been anxiously awaiting this shows return. I was so pleased when Fox picked this show up after it was so unfairly cancelled by its previous network. Now it appears that Fox is not giving well earned respect to what I regard as one of the top Comedies on television today.

I did not write this, but its great and felt the need to share it

Dear Fox Media,

The Houston Astros and their fans want to clear up a few things:

1) Will Smith is an actor and may be best known for his role as the star of a TV show "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" which stopped production in 1996.

Two of the Astros' pitchers are Will Harris and Joe Smith. Will Smith does NOT play for the Astros.

2) JJ Watt plays defense (and very rarely offense) for the Houston Texans.

Josh Reddick, aka Spidey, Spiderman, is an outfielder for the Astros. There is no JJ Reddick on our team.

3) Carlos Beltran retired from playing Major League Baseball In 2017, after being on the Astros' World Series team, who, by the way won the fall classic that year.

Carlos Correa is currently the Astros' shortstop. He made the front part of a fantastic play that saved a run in the fifth inning of the 2019 Astros vs Yankees ALCS game 2. Additionally, Carlos Correa hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the 11th in the same game, securing the win and tying the series at one game apiece.

Carlos Beltran was not playing on the field, did not participate in the run saving play, nor did Carlos Beltran hit the walk off home run.

Learn all the players (not just the Yankees) or go back to broadcasting school where they can teach you the fundamentals of good, unbiased reporting.

Thank you,
A devoted Houston Astros' fan

Why in the world can I not watch my falcons in Mississippi and have to watch the California bowl?!?! This is garbage no one in Mississippi wants to watch this trash game. We want our falcons. The falcons fans here in Mississippi understand why when the saints play at the same time that they are on tv but if the falcons and saints don't play at the same time the FALCONS should be the next team on tv for this area!

i don't appreciate you guys taking the alcs away from local fox channel and moving it to fox sports 1. you should make it more accessible to people who cant afford cable. but of course you guys dont care about what people want. shame on you for your poor public relations. you should consider and make available sports events that people want to watch. you had Salmturday night's game on fox, but then you put all the rest of the games on fs1. Why? it's stupid. give the people what they want and maybe you'd have more viewers.

I believe Sheppard Smith is anti Trump and bias in his reporting. His opinions and facts are at best slanted and at worse lies that undermine the values of Fox News. I am a fan of fox news and I enjoy the different views expressed by your hosts, eg Jaun. but Sheppard Smith sneaks his own personal views in what is supposed to be factual news.Not a good standard for Fox News to allow.

PLEASE get rid of Troy Aikman and Joe Buck! They stink. Aikman sounds like he's still recovering from his many concussions, Buck is borrowing from his Father's legacy, and they most definitely DO NOT provide an objective slant to any sports program. These two nitwits very obviously are prejudice against the Green Bay Packers each and every time they do one of their broadcasts, and why you put up with and pay these guys is beyond me. How do you not recognize this just from listening to yesterday's game? Terrible!

An opinion piece interview of Jessica Tarlov
You are slowly changing your programs to feature more and more the side of the left with no adequate counter point. I am only at fox for fair and balanced not what you think is fair and biased. The web is right, it is time to look for a new news source. Jessica Tarlov will never admit that the right has a point. This is a propaganda piece. This was the only place to go for our side of the truth and if you persist your numbers will drop to those like CNN.

I was excited to watch the 1st episode of "Bless the Harts". That is, until I actually tried to watch it. 10/5/2019. I 1st tried using the On Demand feature through my cable Provider - Spectrum. There is a Bless the Harts and a Bless the Harts EXT. The EXT shows an ad for the show, lasts a minute or so. The Bless The Harts shows nothing...no episodes available. So I came to Fox online to try and watch it but couldn't. The stupid video kept buffering so badly, despite waiting a little while to even try and start it, that I gave up.
All I am now is frustrated and disappointed. And it'll be a cold day in "you know where" before I try again. Sad, since the 2nd episode airs tomorrow and I won't watch it without having seen the 1st.
You need to contact Spectrum and get them on the ball and, more than that, you need to fix your buffer issue.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I watch Fox News many hours a day. But, I just can't take it anymore when Shepard Smith comes on now. He is getting worst every day. Smith, like so many other Democrats, has a blind hatred for the President and can no longer report the news objectively. I now turn his show off in the afternoon. Management really should seriously consider airing a more objective new program to replace Smith. What happened to Fair & Balanced?

I would first like to say I had the worst time ever as a guest!

I visited twice in one day. I missed the first show by three minutes. A staffer suggested I return for the afternoon taping. I returned a few hours later. I arrived extremely early for the second taping - 10:50 am. I was maybe the 15th person in line.

At my second visit — the same staffer who refused to admit me at 8:03 am — and take the place of two guests who left the show in an ambulance — handed me two tickets and said "we're gonna let you in, but we don't usually do this." I couldn't see why not - especially since 1) your colleague advised me to return for the afternoon taping!; 2) in addition to the fact that I had been in line for 2 hours - practically at the front of the line; and, 3) there were less than 50 people in the entire line!

Aside from all the other unprofessional antics and odd behaviors of several staffers (that several guests in line verbally complained about), I am still reeling from being seated behind people who arrived much later than i. I was seated in front of an extended camera arm that obstructed my view. The executive producer instructed the audience not to look at the monitors during taping. So, I stared at long black camera extension throughout the entire show.

It appeared that I had been targeted because I returned to the show on the same day? But, that should not have been held against me. I had no idea that wednesday's show taped on tuesday afternoon. It was as if I tried to break the rules. Maybe that's the reason for being ridiculed? If that were the case, I would have preferred the staffer refrain from suggesting that I return.

I was extremely disappointed. Had I known I would have such a horrible time, I would have taken the staffer's advice that morning and visited the rachel or dr. Oz show! I am sure that I would have been treated with much more respect.

Why ask people to dress appropriately when dress code is irrelevant? I first thought I was overlooked because I was wearing a black top, and instructions did state that costumes are prohibited and black and white do not show well on tv. But, after watching tuesday's show, I know that could not be the reason. Simply because there was one guest wearing a full-on revealing costume - whom wendy makes a point to acknowledge. Then there was another guest wearing a sheer, revealing blouse. She was also pulled out of the audience and showcased. They were both seated in areas where their view of wendy was not obstructed.

The whole day at that studio was a fiasco - from beginning to end. Security made jokes about mormons, the heights of two guests, constant yelling, unnecessary/incessant sarcasm, sexual innuendos, etc. It was not good at all. No one laughed, but guests complained about his behavior amongst one another.

I will admit that the hype guy did a great job getting the audience excited and geared up for the show. However, I was overlooked every single time he asked for audience participation (e.G., any mother/daughters in the audience — I was one of two — did not choose my daughter and i; anyone from out-of-town — did not choose me; even wishing happy birthday — this was most infuriating. I was one of about four people wearing a crown. He said happy birthday and pointed to every section except the section where I sat). He conversed with people who were seated in front of me — which is why I know the staff wanted to make it known to me that my presence was not wanted. I stopped participating after awhile because it was clear that I should not have been there. I am not exaggerating and I was not expecting special attention, but to intentionally mistreat a guest is unacceptable.

After driving 300 miles — specifically to participate in the show — spending $150 in uber rides back and forth to a nj hotel and the studio, (needed to check-out by 12 noon in order to return to the show for second taping) standing in line for two hours, being intentionally ignored by the hype guy and wendy — leaves me baffled, very disappointed, and actually... Very surprised. I thought wendy's guests were supposed to be her so-called "co-hosts". That's a crock! I waved to her. She was 50 feet away from me. She had to have seen me! I was the only one waving! She looked me directly in my face and did not even give me so much as a nod. My daughter noticed it as well.

When wendy's marriage was dissolved, the announcement of her association with the hunter foundation; and most recently, loni love — I went to bat for her on twitter. I did it because I hated to read such nasty, insensitive posts. I honestly thought wendy was genuine. That is the only reason I wanted to visit the show on my 56th birthday/one-year retirement anniversary.

I wish wendy well, and hope she is afforded another 11 years, but, on october 1, 2019; I came away with a feeling of disgust! That is why I left my crown on the chair. To that end, I refuse to watch any future shows.

I sent a message to the show expressing my displeasure - via email. However, taking into account the crass behavior of her team — especially security — I am sure neither she nor her staff could not care less and will most likely disregard my email. However, I hope my message will be taken as constructive criticism and that her leadership team will make the necessary adjustments to make guests feel welcome. There were a few people who were there for the third/fourth time. Not to support wendy, but simply to appear on tv.

I thought being a "co-host" would only add to the celebration of my 56th birthday/one year retirement anniversary, but instead put a damper on the entire day. I managed to somewhat recover after I left the show, but this experience was very demoralizing.

No other guest should leave the show feeling like nothing more than a seat-filler — especially when every attempt was made to be a part of an event in an effort to show support for someone who was once admired.

I have dish net and find it deplorable that fox would pull there channels over a few bucks. The Rich get richer and the consumer gets screwed. I doubt this will have any effect at all ! But thanks for ruining the one thing in many peoples lives that they look forward to including myself. I scrape by as it is and now I pay the same and scrape by without the pleasure of watching my favorite team play. You suck and so does dish net. How dare you treat your customers this way.

This is unbelievable! Fox makes billions and has to swindle for more pennies so you pull your programming?! What a great provider and great example you are setting! Service means nothing... Money means everything! And how absolutely convenient it happens right at season premiere time... What perfect timing... Great way to piss off customers even more...

How dare you try to use viewers of your channels as victims only to line your pockets with the money from those same viewers. This dispute has nothing to do with your viewing public. It's a vicious circle of greed manipulated by yourselves and others in the broadcasting business. You DO NOT care for your viewing audiences as you know that ultimately WE pay the price for YOUR greed. I'm NOT defending Dish Network by any means. You two companies need to learn to settle your issues without the use of the viewers. If that means no longer offering your broadcasting on Dish Network then so be it. If the viewers want your content they will make their own choices. Tired of the legal extortion and insults of both of your companies.

I cannot truly express how disappointing it is that 2 giants of the industry can't work out a compromise so that views of their products can continue enjoying their programming. I am just as pissed at dish. Nobody suffers but the consumer. What I don't understand is it's free programming that dish is able to deliver with a clearer picture. you are basically charging me for something you are giving away to other people. I work nights and being able to dvr fox programming was a great thing for me. I guess I should have kept my vcr

How in the hell do you cancel star to focus on the exit of empire? Empire is already about to be done with but u cancel a show that is highly rated and people want to see to focus on an EXIT of another one? And you ar e probably going to replace it with a show that is not as big as a hit as star. That was one of the worst decisions fox has made. This is a disappointment and such a turn off from fox network station. You guys are [censored]ing disgraceful for cancelling star. And I watch empire but honestly [censored] empire if fox cancels star. I have never been so mind blown about a show being canceled congradulations. [censored]ing idiots.

My mom is 64 years old and her and I enjoyed watching Fox good day in the mornings. I also enjoyed using it when the weather was severe.

Both sides need to get over themselves and act peacefully, instead of punishing viewers who can't afford to change services nor can we cancel them.

My mom just signed up for dish (switched from spectrum). I'm only asking both sides to act peaceful with each other and come to an agreement tht makes everyone including viewers happy.
