<< I personally have never watched it but am surprised since fox isnt a station for a lot great shows but they had one here (ratings wise) and its canned

Link from Washington Post

Damn, wasn't suspecting that would happen:Q The first season ROCKED!!!! But then it steadily turned into pure crap.

Yeah, I agree with you. The first season was very amusing, original. But it got progressively weirder each season. I stopped watching it after the first season. Not enough free time in general, let alone enough time to watch bad television.

Maybe it's just me thinking aboot Ally. but tell me y'all, does our little Sarah Michelle Geller look like an Ally wanna-be? These shots came from photo stills of the Scooby Do movie:

And maybe it's just me (springtime makes me a horndog) but does Velma look hot-sexy?

You know you watch too much TV when: You feel the need to rejoice because a show got canceled that previously forced you to change the channel to one of the other 999 channels for half an hour. :confused:

(Note: I don't like the show nor do I watch it)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

I never really watched the show that much but I watched the last one and it looked like Cristina Ricci was joining the cast. She was sooo hot and the part where she was in the hot tub was almost painful.

Must take a lot to please Fox. Nex thing you know they'll cancel "Boston Public" or *gasp* "24"

Maybe they compare all their shows to The Simpsons.

I don't understand Fox....

They'll keep crap like this on forever, but give shows like "The Tick" and "Family Guy" the boot .

"The Tick" got 6 fking episodes that were never on the same day or time or even in consecutive week.!!

Then they add "Glutton Bowl" and "Celebrity Boxing" to the lineup. geez!

Hate the show and can't stand to look at the stick-thin woman, so good riddance.

Would like to see Robert Downey Jr in something else, though. If he can stay out of jail long enough to do anything.

Don't understand Fox?

Its simple. These days a new show has FOUR WEEKS, if it doesnt get atleast a 10 share each week its out of there(on the big 4, WB and UPN hah, dont count). Its about money. If a show declines over two straight years, its gone. Glutton Bowl pulled an 18 share, the boxing was in the 20's. The Family guy, under 10. Under 10 doesnt fly on the big four, unless its a pet project of one of the network executives(Once and Again). While a 5 share on WB and UPN is standard(thats why Fox didnt bring its own production, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, to Fox, it gets an avg of 6).

As for this cancelation, David E Kelly and the cast knew it was coming, so its no big suprise. Although the next episode does have a long kiss between Heather Locklear and Lara Flynn Boyle....

I think this is bad for us guys. This show atleast gave us an hour where the women would be off our backs.

Ugh... Ms. Ricci? No thanks. I rolled my eyes when I realized she was joining the show... If they wanted to play the "hot" card, they could have done much better than "the forehead"

ROLFLMAO, that is so funny. She is so ugly, along with Rose McGowan, Kirsten Dunst, etc. I don't know why people here think these women are anything more than ugly street trash.
