How the hell can that be canceled??? Its the most popular show on every college campus in America!!!

[pandora]

That show has been cancelled once already. That has to say something.

[Grl4Wrl]

it looks like some reality shows are getting tossed.

[Incrediculous]

What the hell? I thought Fox had picked up Arrested Development for a second season. Please tell me that's a mistake.

That's the best written show on television, and it's garnered some decent ratings!

[Hakeem]

yeah, I read yesterday that it was picked up for season 2.

and Fox cancelled Wonderfalls. I watched the first episode and it looked crazy good.

[Shoot2Wound]

yeah, Wonderfalls was billed by every critic to be the best new show this season. it got RAVE reviews (without the pacifiers and free water)

and they dropped it after 4 episodes... not even a full season.

they have all the episodes shot and canned already though.. so maybe someone will buy it and show the entire season or sell it on DVD.

Reality TV is killing decent shows. Dont watch Reality TV.

...doesn't mean it won't be killed. moved to say, the Friday night death spot?

from TV Guide:

"Arrested Development is long on critical acclaim but short on viewers. The quirky comedy desperately needs a lasting boost from Juliia-Louis Dreyfus March guest shots and recent post-American Idol airings. But Fox will have lots of holes on its schedule, so there's hope. 'I Think it deserves another chance,' says Sternberg."

just remember: Critical acclaim and awards don't mean jack to networks. Look at Homicide (winner of 11 Emmys), Sports Night (winner of 3 Emmys) and Once & Again (winner of 4 Emmys) all canned for lack of viewers to make room for reality shows. of course, they all happened to be on the Disney network ABC.

I think there should just be one reality network with all the reality shows and leave regular TV to itself.

[SFjosh]

Wonderfalls will be released in its entirety (17 episodes, I believe) on DVD. No talk of syndication yet and Fox will likely not sell the rights to WB or UPN (the only conceiveable networks that would want a cancelled show).

Fox is good about releasing their entire catalog of show son DVD, so I would look for it by the end of the year.

[Shoot2Wound]

Fox is run by the devil


(aka Al Pacino)
Keanu Reeves: Whoa... she's my sister? Whoa
Al Pacino: yeah, i picked up incest when i was in Georgia playin the fiddle. Damn that Johnny and his uber leet skills.
Keanu Reeves: Johnny Mnemonic?

[dk NEVER ALONE]

they, are but damned if they don't have some good shows.
