Eleventh Hour
The Unit
Worst Week

My Name is Earl (may get picked up by Fox or ABC)
Medium (may move to CBS)

Really gutted to hear about My Name Is Earl being cancelled, one of my favourite comedies at the moment.

I see that Fox has done it again, cancelling yet another sci-fi series just as it's about to get good. It took a little while for Terminator: SCC to find it's feet but once it established it's own identity, it got really interesting.

Oh well, at least they're giving this stuff a try, unlike in this country.

Great quote though: "It's hard to be too upset about being thrown off the Titanic"!

I found it here: http://www.armchaircommentary.com/2009/05/canceled-tv-shows-a-rundown.html

I, too, am sorry to see Terminator on the list. I was really beginning to enjoy it.

Samantha Who!

Poor Aaron.

Kath and Kim!

Poor me. :(
(Although, do they actually make it?...) Eh?

FOX:
King of the Hill

Not that I watch it anymore but still :(

The American remake, with super skinny Selma Blair as Kim. Which is just stupid.

Oh of COURSE!

Go ahead then. :)

My Name is Earl is weak. It's just the same old Northerners taking the piss out of Southerners shit. I mean, the fat guy who plays the biggest idiot on the show, is really from Manhattan!

It's a shame about Terminator. I was really into that, but I heard it was getting cancelled about a week ago. My name is Earl on the other hand, I can't believe that! I thought a new season was about to start!

Not that I'm much of a fan but My Name Is Earl maybe getting picked up by Fox, since it makes it.

The final episode of the season aired 6 days ago. It's a cliffhanger with a "to be continued" ending, so hopefully it'll be picked up by another network.

Shocked that Worst Week was still going. Heard yesterday that Samantha Who? has had the chop and am really, really disappointed.

Dollhouse has been renewed? wow.

Shame to see King of the Hill going, I know it was announced ages ago but this season has been sublime.
