canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

The Jeff Dunham Show: The Real Reason It Was Cancelled?

Published: January 14, 2010

Jeff Dunham ShowA couple weeks ago, we reported that Comedy Central had decided to cancel The Jeff Dunham Show after just one season.

The ventriloquist/comedian isn’t going anywhere though. Jeff Dunham’s still got a very popular act that he performs around the country and Comedy Central has said they’ll continue to work with him on his live tour, a stand-up special, DVDs, and other products.

When the news of the show’s cancellation came out, some were confused as to why the show had been cancelled. After all, The Jeff Dunham Show had the biggest premiere in the cable channel’s history with 5.3 million viewers and a 2.2 demo rating. Unfortunately, those great ratings didn’t last and viewership went way down for the subsequent episodes. The season (now series) finale only attracted 1.3 million viewers. Like most, Dunham’s show was cancelled because of low ratings.

Or was it? The guys over at Funny or Die have their own theory as to why The Jeff Dunham Show is no more. Take a look.

This world is WAAAAAY too politically correct. If the show offends you then don’t watch it! Do you remember the comedian Don Rickles? He was an INSULT COMIC. People knew he would insult different races and they bought tickets anyway. They just laughed along. AH! The good old days when everything you said wasn’t monitored and sent to the PC police!

I’m offended by how easily your offended. And ‘politically incorrect’ jokes don’t push people apart, they pull people together. Unless some entitled precious little snowflake has ditched the sensitivity training seminar to produce an unfunny parody of an act they will never be able to top, because humor is one of the ways, maybe even the most effective way, of dealing with heinous BS. You want to heal the world, be a good little soldier for Gaia? Then maybe you should concentrate on some of the actual problems that exist, famine, ignorance, slavery, disease, genocide, you know, real problems, that… Read more »

I love Jeff Dunham and I liked the terrorist puppet – but was offended by it every time I heard it. Personally, I don’t believe in God, but most of the people that I know, do. When I see that puppet, I think about what it would be like if the puppet was a KKK puppet making Christian jokes – and I know that my Christian friends would be offended. Are the jokes funny? Sure. But the reason that off-color jokes (about race, religion or sexual preferance) aren’t politically correct is that they pull society apart rather than pull it… Read more »

The show was a crock. Sorry to be the one the say it, but it was. I watched two episodes and stopped because it really wasn’t funny. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Jeff Dunham. I love the characters he created, I love the jokes, but this type of show didn’t show off his talents and I think Comedy Central realized that after he went thru a season.

I wish him the best, and can’t wait to see him on stand-up again, where he truly belongs.
