They should make a show just around FOX canceling shows.

That is a show I'd give a chance! I'd probably suck, and get cancelled by FOX after the first season though.

It could be a documentary style show like The Office, called the Studio Executives. It would feature a cast of query studio employees having to deal with things like writers allowing their shows to jump the shark and having to make the hard decision to fire them (Heroes) and quickly come up with some new writers who do just as bad of a job. One story arc could revolve around a writers strike. There could be a lovable goofy young intern who is always making funny and charming blunders. The titular executives would also have to deal with things like Prima Donna actors wanting more pay, or wanting to weasel their way out of contracts, or demand a better personal trailer. A running joke could be that they are constantly looking for a new sci-fi show to the one they are canceling. As soon as they successfully replace their canceled show, they decide the new one isn't working either, shift its time slots around, then start looking for a new show to replace it with. Some short minor mention of their sci-fi show delima would be made in every episode.

This could be exciting stuff, and it might actually even be funny. Quick, someone remind me why I am not a TV writer again?
