Damn, that's awesome! I didn't know that. They got so lucky. Honestly, Fox was slop at the time.
I wonder how many of the anti-Fox jokes were genuine. I always figured they were self-humbling jokes that Fox allowed but maybe they were actual jabs.
Genuine but really permitted. They got Rupert Murdoch on and had him refer to himself as a billionaire tyrant bit also he owned Fox, so it was never outside of what the overseers allowed but they allowed any Fox bashing quite well from what I heard from the dvd commentaries from dvds released by fox but a lot of people kn them weren't under contract anymore and they didn't pay as much attention to commentary content in the early dvd days when the classico seasons came out. So it does seem like Fox at the time was totally fine with it as long as the money came in, Disney seems way less willing to allow that.
