2006 Cancelled Shows: Not Many Surprises from FOX
After what one could call FOX’s most successful seasons in its history, there are very few cancellations to report. FOX’s schedule will remain the same for the most part and borderline shows (ratings-wise) like The OC, The Loop and The War at Home have received renewal notices. The few shows that were cancelled (either this week or earlier) include:
Arrested Development - Critics loved it but few people watched. Read more information here.
The Bernie Mac Show - After five seasons and 104 episodes, this comedy aired its last original episode on April 14, 2006.
Free Ride - This partially-improved sitcom aired the last of its six episodes on April 9, 2006.
Head Cases - The Chris O’Donnell comedy was one of the first fatalities of the 2005-06 season.
Killer Instinct - This San Francisco-based crime thriller aired episode #13 (of 14 produced) in March of 2006 and hasn’t been seen since.
Kitchen Confidential - The off-beat Bradley Cooper comedy didn’t take off as expected and has been off the air since January 2006.
Malcolm in the Middle - The series finale aired on May 14, 2006. Click here for coverage.
Reunion - A much loved and popular series did not make it through its first season. For more information on the killer’s identity and unreleased episode details, go here.
Skating with Celebrities - This Dancing with the Stars “inspired” show never took off.
That ’70s Show - The series finale airs tonight with the return of Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher). Stay tuned for a recap.
Unan1mous - This odd “reality” game show has been almost unanimously disliked by critics and won’t be returning.
American Idol, 24, and King of the Hill will not return until early 2007, following the NFL Season.

I’ve been watching Bernie Mac late at night on Fox. I couldn’t believe it one night when I turned it on and Bernie Mac was gone. I didn’t realize the show had been canceled. What an unfortunate decision. America, you know what I’m talking about, I can’t believe they canceled the Mac.
