Though the FOX network has fewer primetime hours to fill than other networks (15 vs. 22 hours), they’ve certainly burned through their share of TV series. Here are the ones that won’t be back for the 2007-08 season:
Drive – The Nathan Fillion series was pulled after four episodes. The remaining two will air on July 4th. Unfortunately, the road race won’t be completed.
Happy Hour – Fox aired three episodes in September and one episode in November before pulling it. FOX has said that 13 episodes have been completed and may be released on DVD at some point.
Justice – The courtroom drama was pulled and returned to primetime several times in 2006. Of the 13 episodes produced, 12 have aired in the United States. It won’t be coming back.
The Loop – The sitcom was given a 13-episode second season order but it was then reduced. The return was also delayed until June 10, 2007. It won’t return for a third season.
The O.C. – The network cancelled the drama series back in early January and the last episode was completed on February 2nd. The series finale aired on February 22, 2007.
The Rich List – This game show was cancelled after just one episode. The single episode aired on November 2, 2006 and was cancelled along with Happy Hour.
Standoff – The drama is expected to return on June 8th after a six month hiatus. There are eight unaired episodes from the first season. There won’t be a second year.
Vanished – Fox pulled their mystery serial drama after nine episodes. It was supposed to return but they opted to bring back Justice instead. The remaining four episodes were released online but few viewers felt satisfied with the storyline’s rushed resolution.
The War at Home – The family sitcom ended its two year run on April 22, 2007 after 44 episodes. There won’t be a third season.
The Wedding Bells – The David E. Kelly series was pulled after five episodes. Production was shut down after the seventh was completed. The two remaining episodes aren’t expected to air.
The Winner – Six episodes of the sitcom were produced and all aired to low ratings. The series won’t be returning.
Returning series include: 24 (renewed for two seasons), American Dad, American Idol, America’s Most Wanted, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, Bones, Cops, Family Guy, House, King of the Hill, MADtv, Prison Break, The Simpsons, Talkshow with Spike Feresten, and ‘Til Death.
Though Nanny 911 and Trading Spouses are not included on the Fall or midseason schedules, FOX has included them on their list of returning shows. Stay tuned!
yeah! why the hell did they cancel the war at home? i thought that show rocked! much better than till death wich i see got picked up for another season…
Why? (Pulling at hair) Why would they cancel Standoff? Damn you FOX, damn you…
Should have known not to get attatched cuz of what you did to Firefly…for shame.
STANDOFF,JUSTICE,DRIVE,THE WINNER, AND WAR AT HOME WERE ALL GREAT SHOWS GIVEN THE OPPRITUNITY AND THE RIGHT TIMESLOT WOULDA BEEN VERY SUCCESSFULL AND I HOPE FOX WONT MAKE SO MANY MISTAKES IN THE FUTURE . DRIVE SHOULDA BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO BLOSSOM STANDOFF WAS JUST AWESOME AND JUSTICE WAS ALMOST AS GOOD AS HOUSE AND IF RAN BEFORE HOUSE ON THE SAME NIGHT COULDA WORKED VERY WELL I THINK AND THE WINNER AND WAR AT HOME WERE GOOD SHOWS WITH POTENTIAL OF RUNNING FOR A LONG TIME AND BECOMING CLASSICS I THINK THESE SHOWS COULD EVEN BE SUCCESSFULL ON OTHER… Read more »
cool, maybe they’ll bring Arrested Development back. fat chance I know, but if ron howard keeps busy maybe he’ll finally stop sending me telepathic signals.
Why would you cancel “The War At Home?”, that was one of the best shows on Fox, on sndays I always loved watching the Four Fathers Of Comedy; Homer, Peter, Stan and Dave. Don’t keep it away forever.
Please bring back War at Home.enjoyed and watched every episode until the end.There are other shows that are least worthy and are still on the air.For example,24,Prisonbreak,Bones,and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.Could you show re-runs at least of the War At Home.I will greatly appreciate that very much.
War at Home was a great show until it was cancelled.There are other shows hat deserve to be cancelled other than The War at Home.Please bring it back.I want to see what happens later in the series.
Whatever dude the only reason you don’t like family guy is because you don’t appreciate good comedy. if you watched it you would see the genius behind it…
WAR AT HOME GOES AND YOU KEEP SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER!! FOX HAD A GREAT FAMILY SHOW IN WAR BUT SCREWED IT UP.
While I am not shocked that FOX cancelled Standoff, what I am shocked and ticked off about is the out and out lies it told to the fans of the show. To answer emails and phone calls to the networks with the lie that the show was going to be looked at as a summertime drama and be given a good lead in to prove itself was a bald face lie. What’s even worse is that a network that is that underhanded, most likely didn’t tell the actors either, they probably found out the same way we did. FOX gained… Read more »
It is too bad they will be cancelling the War At Home.. I thought it was a great show. If they knew there would not be a third season they should not have left the show where it is.
I can’t believe FOX cancelled Justice. That was such a great show! Like someone said before, I can’t believe a show like Prison Break stays. What a disappointment!!! I also enjoyed watching Standoff, my kids enjoyed that one too.
I don’t get FOX’s logic. They go and cancel GOOD, SMART shows like Drive, The Winner and The Wedding Bells and yet shows with no thought put into them like Prison Break get renewed? Oh wait…I forgot. This is FOX.
Very disappointed in FOX canceling Drive so soon. It was just getting started. The viewer were just starting to know who the actors were and what was happening. I do not understand how a netword can determine the show failed when it was only on 3 time! Please bring it back
The Winner got better each episode, it was a decent little show. I liked Talkshow, glad it’s coming back. American Dad is pretty good, I hate Family Guy though. 24 is good but is really getting old now. Haven’t seen new episode of King of the Hill but I do like the ones I’ve seen. Didn’t watch Prison Break this season, will need to check out the DVD. House is good but is repetitive. Same thing each week. MadTV is funny most of the time but has some strong misses. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Really? That show… Read more »
