"Cancelled ?"

Posted by Ricky on 11-30-04 at 11:58 AM
Rumors are flying that this Sunday (12/5) will be the last show and FOX will take it off the air after that.

Anyone heard anything on this ?

Why bother to even show that episode then? If Fox is going to leave the show's fans hanging without any sort of resolution, then why even air this episode? Just put on another Simpsons repeat!

Maybe it will go on hiatus for several months and then re-appear, like "The Family" did on another network.

Or they will put it all into a couple eps like The Benefactor.

I think it is funny to see just how gullible these people will be. How much will they believe? Just about anything it appears!

I love this show and I hope it runs till completion, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it canceled. All that being said, what rumors are you talking about? People post BS all the time on message boards, why is this 'rumor' even worth repeating?

I also love this show. To me it's much better than stuff like The Swan, Wife Swap, or Nanny 911. I'll never understand how those shows are making it while this one suffers.

There is tough competition on Sunday nights.

Yeah, Desperate Housewives is on at the same time. I hope it's just a rumor though. I mean what else would FOX put on at this point that would get better ratings ?

There are two upcoming episodes still on tap (I don't think it goes beyond the two week window anyway).

I don't want to insult you guys because you enjoy watching the show-- but I have got to rag on it.
I admit, I thought the previews looked hilarious, and I jumped at the chance to see something mock the Apprentice, the first Reality show I ever got into. I thought the first episode was funny, but by the second, I could barely stomach these people. And every episode has been worse.
Oh, sure, I love to see idiots expose themselves. But the sleaze factor on this show goes beyond the contestants and the facades of the "IOCOR executives". The editing for this show is pathetic. They show the same reaction shots repeatedly. It's like they're assuming the audience is as stupid as these contestants seem to be.
The supposed 'real' moments, such as Mr. Todd going into the real boss's office and asking who should be fired, are ridiculously over the top and affected.
The contestants themselves...oh where to begin? I am not a fan of the Apprentice people, and I do know what editing, sound effects, music, and even lighting can do to affect an audience's emotional reactions to people, but these contestants are so utterly repulsive beyond that-- I feel filthy after watching them.
Some of you will probably read this and say, "What's your point? That's what this stuff is all about," or, "What cave have you been living in?" Well, I'll be honest. I -have- been living in a cave as far as this kind of stuff goes. I guess I should go back in there until the revolution comes.

"Maybe not Cancelled but on Hiatus"

It will be awhile before we see the finale. There is a show this Sunday Dec 19. And then here's what FOX has planned...

December 26- the day after Christmas, FOX will air repeats of King of the Hill.
January 2 - FOX will air the movie True Lies.
January 9 - FOX will air the the 2 hour premiere of 24.

January 16 would be the earliest that we see the finale. But I've heard it could be as late as January 30.

Now they have yanked tonight's episode.

They are going to show back-to-back Malcom in the Middle re-runs instead. This stinks. It's like The Mole2 all over again.

Sorry, forgot to post it (actually, I was planning on writing a story for the news page, but couldn't get to it this weekend) but I talked to FOX PR on Friday afternoon about the show and they say it returns on January 16.
