It’s no secret that there was some backstage drama last season on the Lethal Weapon TV show. As a result, actor Clayne Crawford was fired from the FOX series and many fans were not pleased. Lethal Weapon saw a big drop in ratings between season one and two. Will adding Seann William Scott to the cast improve the ratings in season three or, will they fall even further without Crawford? Will the show be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
An action-comedy-drama, Lethal Weapon stars Damon Wayans, Seann William Scott, Kevin Rahm, Johnathan Fernandez, Michelle Mitchenor, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, and Chandler Kinney. The series follows Detective Roger Murtaugh (Wayans), his LAPD colleagues, and his family at home. After a tragedy, Murtaugh is partnered with Detective Wesley Cole (Scott), a former CIA operative who’s been everywhere and seen everything. How long will it take him to adjust to Los Angeles?
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you still like the Lethal Weapon TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for season four on FOX?

**10/14/2018 Status Update: FOX has ordered two more episodes of Lethal Weapon. Will Wayans be in them?
It was simply awful.It can’t be Lethal Weapon without Martin Riggs.I mean you can’t have Batman without Bruce Wayne.Period.
Heard that same comparison earlier today. Someone said if you fired Batman, you’d have to change the title to Robin or cancel it
Lethal Weapon poor cast chemistry.
not very much fun to watch.
Better options for my time elsewhere.
I WILL NOT BE WATCHING THE SERIES I LOVED IT WITH CLAYNE CRAWFORD AND HE MADE THE SHOW SORRY BUT TRUE. THIS GOES FOR MY MOM AND MY NEPHEW ALL AGE GROUPS . THEY MADE A BIG MISTAKE
Yep, big mistake.
Sorry I don’t like the serie without Clayne Crawford , he have charisma and its funny, now is another police series’s, not more lethal weapon
I didn’t even have to watch it to know I will not be watching it. Wayans and Crawford had good chemistry in scene. The show was obviously making more of it about Riggs, which i liked, he made the show. Without him , the Lethal is gone and thos show is just Weapon.. Stiffler is no replacement should have killed off Murtaugh…
I don’t usually get attached to a character, but without Crawford, the show is over
Definitely not watching with the later time slot and I didn’t care for their chemistry.
I tried to watch the season premier to see how they portrayed riggs it was disgraceful burned his belongings no funeral and wayans had a fake frown fake tears it was worse than watching paint dry
Without Crawford cancel it.
Love the new vibe. Don’t miss Clayne at all. That recording blew any appeal he had, for me. That kind of out-sized idea of your own importance is a real turn off. And good news! SWS is charming as hell. And he’s great at the fight stuff, which is important to me. Kudos, tribe, for carrying on, allowing all those people behind the scenes to keep their jobs despite massive actor ego. Best wishes.
Clayne didnt do anything wrong the video is crap watch interviews with cast members who have also quit since season 3 started the shrink capt avery the crew loved clayne n they were also fired please do some real research before slandering thanks
My household watched purely for Clayne Crawford. We will not watch Lethal Weapon without him.
someday maybe we will find out why a show that was just getting it’s footing decided to fire the guy who people most wanted to see. They should have just ended LW and started a new show because that’s what they really did. Given their competition this season it’s hard to see how it will make it.
I just tried to watch the DVD recording of Lethal Weapon 3rd season .. OMG I could not stand watching Damon’s fake morning. Know Damon is the reason we losted the best actor on the show. Clayne Crawford… This show totally sucks now. I can’t stand to even finish watching the end of the show… Please fire Murtaugh Damon’s charactor off this show and replace him with someone else… I won’t be watching this show any more.. it’s dead to me ..
I am so happy the ratings finally have proved our point.
Because Wayans felt he was just a side kick, and felt he was bigger than that, and fox thought his name and scott will bring the fans… My thoughts anyways, no facts behind it
The funniest part about the truth in that is that Riggs IS the lethal weapon. Hence the name. To try to carry on without him is a big fat joke. And Damon Wayans is just a crybaby whiner because he’s a mediocre actor at best and couldn’t stand to be outshone by Clayne Crawford. CANCEL IT!!!
Not real happy about Clayne not being on the show probably won’t watch it.
I’m done with this show. Too many other better options on. I watched for Clayne. Not ridiculously jealous and insecure Wayans. He is not a good person or actor. Clayne was fantastic
I will not watch this series without Clayne Crawford.
Cancel it! #NoClayneNoWatch
