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 this jim jefferies stand-up & this show! bring it back, no way should it have been cancelled, i hope another channel picks it up! from the UK 🙂
Come ONNNNNNNN
its bloody GOLD
please please season 3 / 4 / + +
They just have to bring it back. They just have to xOO
We should bring back legit! mostly because nowadays stupidity is what comes at first in the world if the show is not about big titted women or muscled guys who plays ball on the beach , people don’t find this interesting! We need second degree humor! We need people like Jim Jefferies who does something different! we need that more! I’m very disapointed that Legit is cancelled due to a non sufficient number of people watching it, shame on the people who dosen’t what it! Hang on Jim, there is some people who believe in you! keep on doing what… Read more »

Screw you FXX hopefully another network will pick it up bring on legit season 3
Shot in the chest, u cant have a build up like that and not deliver. i enjoyed it.
I just started watching and now it’s canceled? What is wrong with fx? I can’t wait until tv is extinct and all shows are watched online. There is no way legit would be canceled if it were like that today. Legit is by far the best show I’ve ever watched and I’m very sad to see it go.
What a goddamn shame. This was my favorite show. **** you FXX
I’m very disappointed that Legit was cancelled. I just discovered it too which sucks.
Legit was awesome and i can’t believe the ratings were not good. No doubt it’s because
television is on it’s way out, many people don’t watch television because it’s easier and more convenient to watch shows online. I discovered Legit online. I do not own a tv.
so sad 🙁
So mad. this was a good show. so funny..
Legit was one of the best comedies on TV. Will def go down as one of those shows that should NOT have been cancelled. Will miss it badly ;-(
Legit was just awesome. So sad it’s gone. It was the only show I couldn’t wait for each new episode. It was a gem in this age of ****** reality tv and ******* cop shows. Thanks for 2 seasons JJ!
