Huh. Didnt see that coming. Fox seems to be more in-tune with the viewer though. They must have seen that thus was time to cut bait instead of seeing how ratings will be long term. This last season was already invested in i'm sure.

Nonetheless....glad to hear it.

Das Jussie crazy.

Wonder why they wouldn't renew. People already forgot about that clown. Just write him off the show and move on.

They might have been able to save the show had they fired his arse immediately and sent him packing for good.

but everyone on the show had to go all "believe all victims" on Fox management so they said frick it and cancelled the whole thing.

The reality of this whole thing is there is some camera guy struggling to put money away for his kid's college who made 120k a year in LA and now he is out of a job. The actors can afford to be laid off. The fricking craft service coordinator and boom mic guy can't.

frick everyone who agreed with the letter.

The only downside to this glorious news is that FOX agreed to pay his salary for this last year even though they have written him out of the show. FOX bent the knee - a little.

And the only two who won't have to sweat it are Terrance Howard and the main chick (forgot her name but she was in Hustle n Flow with TH).
