TV show description:
Jim Jefferies (playing a fictional version of himself) is an edgy and foul-mouthed stand-up comedian from Australia. He’s in his mid-thirties and is living in Los Angeles, struggling to make his life and career more “legit.” He finds that it’s a difficult, uncomfortable and uphill struggle — every step of the way.
Jim is encouraged in his quest by his neurotic best friend and roommate, Steve Nugent (Dan Bakkedahl) — a cyberlaw library salesman who struggles to stay on his feet in the wake of a divorce.
He’s also supported by Steve’s brother, Billy (DJ Qualls), who suffers from advanced staged Muscular Dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair.
Other characters include Steve and Billy’s parents, Janice and Walter Nugent (Mindy Sterling and John Ratzenberger), and Billy’s nurse, Ramona (Sonya Eddy).

Jim deals with the fall out of being shot by a heckler and considers quitting comedy. Billy goes to a video game tournament.
First aired: May 14, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the Legit TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
How could you possibly cancel a show this good????
/Because they need more time for the fuming stupid dancing or singing condition that’s why all the good show get cancelled for teenage retarded shift. I say why cater to these 50% idiots that drop of homeschool the world is getting dumber by the so we need shows like LEGIT and no more dancing ****tards
This was a great show. Should have gotten a 3rd season, at least to let people adjust to the terrible FXX rebranding fiasco…Well written, smart and different from the other crap.
I think this is bull the show was great I don’t see why it would get canceled!?!
Love this show! Can’t believe it was cancelled
I just watched season 1 on Netflix, found out about season 2 today only to then discover it has been canceled. Total BS! I love this show and I am devistated to find my new addiction is gone! I had never heard about it until 2 days ago and I don’t have the stupid network with my cable provider. I laughed, I cried, I cheered and I have been telling everyone I know about this show! I am sick and tired of shows about fat rednecks being on tv while well written series with actual comedy and heart is cancelled.… Read more »
Best show on tv not just funny but we’ll written I will miss the whole cast sorry to see itgo
Legit gets cancelled but “so you think you can dance” is being pushed hard on the fox network. I don’t get it. Why? What happened to us America. Why are we so addicted to crap?
I loved this show. People did not tune in to FXX. Couldn’t find this show
This was in of my favorite shows of all time. I almost didn’t watch the first episode, actually had to download then first 4 to catch up. It was not promoted well or advertised as it should have been. Many people still don’t know it existed. Same situation as Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23. Great show. Put it on after Its always Sunny and it would have gotten a following and then could have carried viewers once moved to a different day. Network execs made another bad move. Maybe a smart exec at a different network can rescue… Read more »
FXX is a **** network. Move the show to a network that will actually put the show on at a prime time slot. Without Legit, there is no reason to watch FXX.
I totally agree. I think FXX is the stupidest idea they have ever come up with. Give a renewal to Ali G, comes far to late, but Legit was really the only thing that made this network. Stupid execs. Legit was even better than cerebral stuff like Wilfred. That has ended too.
it was a funny show.there should be meny more seasons at least 8
Someone start a petition, There is so much crap on television today this great show deserves a better fate!
Ths is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen on TV in a very long time too bad that people have such a hard time to really enjoy themselves. I myself will miss watching the show is made me laugh every week. you must want us all watching a reality shows like American can dance
Reality TV sucks. Jim Jeffries and team took comedy to a better level. Every network takes itself to seriously. I am switching to a la carte tV from now on. HBO is okay but I’ll live with showtime and the BBCA. Then I will cherry pick sports. The networks have let America down once more, as they don’t know talent, employ bad writers on semi decent shows, but American television has been running down hill for some time. CBS had a good run but we can only take so much violence, drama and seriousness. Some of us, like to relax… Read more »
