New Amsterdam: FOX Cancels Immortal Show
FOX has decided to cut short the run of New Amsterdam, the dramatic TV show about an immortal cop from the Big Apple.
The series has had a rough ride at the network. Amsterdam was initially scheduled for Fall 2007 but was pushed back to mid-season. On top of that, FOX cut its episode order from 13 to eight episodes.
On the positive side, the series was scheduled for an unpopular Friday night timeslot but was ultimately given a shot on Monday nights.
Amsterdam’s season average of 8.34 million weekly viewers isn’t great but it certainly outperformed and outlasted Canterbury’s Law.

Though FOX considered continuing the story of John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) for another year, the network ultimately decided his story had come to an end. Still, Amsterdam executive producer David Manson hopes that the series will live on and find a new home on another network. Will that happen? Stay tuned!

This was a great show. Wondered what happened to it. The internet answered the question. Hopefully another network will pick it up.

Fox lost out when they cancelled that show. I really enjoyed it. It seems that some of the best shows end up getting cancelled. Sad.

This sucks, i thought it was the best new show on TV. I hope another network is smart enough to give it a chance.
