[…] Earlier, we reported on FOX’s new fall and mid-season schedules for the 2010-11 season. It sounds like they’ve got some interesting new shows and have made some timeslot changes as well. If you can’t find one of your favorites on the schedule, be sure to check out our FOX cancellation and renewal list. […]
Hope The Chicago Code continues to run . . . it’s great writing and great acting!
I’ve become a huge fan of The Chicago Code . . . good writing and good acting! I do hope it’s renewed for next year!
Mental have just begun to be shown in UK. It is fantastic, having watched just a few I can not understand why Fox cancelled the show. Jack has so much life to keep it going and the message for mental illness to be taken seriously and not seen as a death sentence should be considered. Please reconsider, get contracts with other TV shows to keep it going.
I think Fox has some good shows, however i think American idol sucks. I hope that Fox has renewed Hope, which airs on Tuesdays.
We really enjoyed the new series, Lone Star, but have now read that it is being cancelled. Is there a possibility that it could be given a chance to at least complete the whole season? Just a thought.
You cancelled the best new show on tv after two episodes, LONESTAR. Even the critics reviews were excellent. Our local newspaper, The Daily Sun in The Villages, FL
thought it was one of the best new shows. Please bring this show back. I bet you are getting lot of imput regarding this mistaken move.
I could not belive my eyes when I found out that Lone Star had been cancelled, I thought it was going to be the next Dallas, the storyline was great, the actors were great, Fox cant recognise a good thing when it hits them in the face, I belive it clashed with Dancing with the stars & that was why numbers were down. wish they could give it another time slot, I’m sure it will fly
Absolutely shocked that FlashForward is not coming back, V is not bad, but not great. Dollhouse was also great.
I truly enjoyed the show “Dollhouse” and couldn’t wait for each episode to air. Although I stumbled upon it by chance, and had to play catch up, I was sad to see it had ended. The story line was unlike anything already on tv and the acting from each and every person was awesome! Although it was cancelled, if you have not seen it, it is worth watching, it was interesting, exciting and had some very funny parts. Go and rent it!
Where does Prison Break fit Renewed or Cancelled (or ending)?
@Shelina Jurakhan: Cancelled/Ended
If they only had a few timeslots available, they could have given Mental another season and gotten rid of So You Think You Can Dance, Fringe or the Simpsons. I’ve never even HEARD OF the Cleveland Show, and they are keeping it?? Other than that, they are keeping all of my favorite shows, even though Fox STUDIOS quit producing Saving Grace, which I still do not understand…
