Who the frak are those idiots who cancel such top-rated TV shows?!!!


Top 250 TV: #16, plus a rating of 9.1/10 on IMDb with nearly 200,000 votes so far,
yet somehow,
some retard was able to justify cancelling this VERY successful TV series to his even dumber bosses!

HOW?!!!

Well, the show was expensive to make and didn't bring in much ratings. That's pretty much how.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

Well, the problem was that Fox didn't advertise the show correctly and also aired the episodes out of order and on Fridays. Then, they cancelled it with three unaired episodes.

You had me at Fox. Enough said.

It's more successful now than it was when it first aired. Fox made a number of mistakes like airing the wrong episode first and putting it in a "death slot" for ratings. Sadly a lot of really great shows go out this way.
