FXX has pulled the plug on Legit after two seasons. Tonight’s episode will also serve as the comedy’s series finale.
Legit revolves around a fictional version of Australian stand-up comic Jim Jeffries who’s made it big on the comedy circuit in the US and now wants to grow up. His friends and Venice, CA roommates are his divorced and alcoholic best friend, Steve (Dan Bakkedahl), and Steve’s brother, Billy (DJ Qualls) who suffers from muscular dystrophy. Episodes are based on Jeffries’ stand-up routines.
The series has struggled in the ratings, particularly once it moved from FX to FXX. As a result, the cable channel has decided they don’t want a third season.
In a post on his Facebook page, Jeffries wrote, “Legit has been cancelled. Sorry to everyone who was a fan of the show, please watch tonight it’s the final two episodes. I am very proud of the work that I did on this show and I made friends that ill have for life. So I’m going to try and not be sad about this.”
What do you think? Did you like Legit? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Do you think it should have been renewed for a third season?
I love Legit. Discovered it on Netfilx. So disappointed there was no season 3. Good to see disabled people on TV. The world isn’t made up of perfect pretty people. Jim is soooo funny. Another great show no doubt cancelled by bean counters.
I understand that the legit sitcom first previewed on the FX televised broad cast station from the years of 2013 – 2014, ending with just two seasons. To many that is a long time ago, and is. Which made me want to voice my opinion. I think this sitcom is hands down one of the best I’ve seen since the Chepell Show, its intricate blend of humor, real life events, and moral stand points are done in a magnificent fashion while still bringing the audience comic relief. Jim Jefferies, DJ Qualls, And Dan Bakkedahl are an outstandingly funominal triple threat… Read more »
I can’t believe I missed this show… I just binged watched the only two seasons in a day and a half. I can’t believe it was canceled. The cast is incredible and Jim Jefferies is hysterical. One of the best comedy series I’ve ever seen. What a shame. Hopefully if we’re lucky and we ***** enough they can bring it back for us? I doubt it but I’m going to still try.
***** = *****… Stupid autocorrect winner me curse
*****= female dog I guess you guys won’t let me complain and I’m up way too late and clearly need sleep LOL
Bring back Legit, It’s an awesome show and needs many more seasons to come
Jim Jefferies is hysterical and the show was original interesting and funny period better than most shows I’ve ever seen. I am severely disappointed in FX decision to pass on such a talent as Jim Jefferies. As a result I will no longer support this network
Legit was awesome, such a shame it’s stopped
That’s bull****, it was a great show and it should continue!
Bring back legit. Love it. Too funny
Please Netflix bring this back
I love this show and watch it every night before bed, too funny!
