     The duchovbots had nothing to do with it. Season 8 stunk big time. Not even David could make it any better.

     If it had taken a ratings dive, Fox would never have renewed the show for Season 9 because all FOX cares about is making money. I realize the Duchovbot spinmeisters compared the show from Season to Season but that's not how the game is played.
