These were my favorite shows that I loved watching and those douches at Fox had made terrible decisions.
Fox aren't the only people who hire idiots to make stupid plays.
NBC had cancelled: Heroes, Knight Rider (2009), My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, Law & Order, Kingpin, and Just Shoot Me! were all my favorite shows on that network and they decide to end them. My Name Is Earl was one of the best.
The CW had cancelled their best shows: Veronica Mars, Aliens In America, Everybody Hates Chris and Reaper. Everybody Hates Chris cracks me up everytime I watch it.
CBS had cancelled: Joan Of Aracdia, Shark, Ghost Whisperer, and Yes Dear. Those nutty antics of the two families from Yes Dear were funny.
These were my favorite shows that they had taken away. When you think a show is going to be a hit and to you it is. THEY think its a miss. I say: Screw them. If only they could have lasted longer.

Terminator? And the "reality" shows? I say good riddance to those. I thought The OC had ran its course and Prison Break was dragged out.
I wasn't aware the Bernie Mac show was canceled before his death.
Spike now thats sad his show is no more but it was inevitably going to be canceled. I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Damn, you've got some bad taste in TV shows. There are a couple gems in there (Arrested Development, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Reaper, and T:TSCC), but most everything else (especially the reality shows) are pretty terrible and/or had run their course. King of the Hill? Didn't that have at least a 7 year run? That's pretty successful for a TV show. I loved Prison Break, but it was done and overdone. My Name is Earl was pretty good, but started to drag at the end, I'm not surprised it was canceled, though it seemed kind of abrupt. Heroes was good in it's first season and dropped SHARPLY after that. But yeah, most of these shows deserved canceling, no question. Dollhouse was just starting to get good, but because Fox had their hands in the first season so Joss couldn't do what he wanted from the start, I'm not surprised it didn't have good ratings. If they had let it go another season with Joss in full control, I suspect it could've turned into something. Fox did some similar things to Sliders back in the day. For some reason they made them play the episodes out of order, then they started shifting the schedule around on them all the time until no one watched the show, actors left and it was canceled and picked up by SyFy (but by then it was way too late).
Sons of Tucson was decent, but pretty generic. I enjoyed it, but I knew it was getting canceled after the first episode.
Don't steal. The government hates the competition.

I remember when Freaks and Geeks was on, they kept changing the day/time it was on, and never announced it, then canceled it because "nobody watched it". Well, how are you supposed to know when to watch when every week it is on a different day and time? The natural thing is (for example) if you see a show at 8:00 on a Tuesday and want to see it again, you turn it on again the next Tuesday at 8:00, unless you hear otherwise.

THANK YOU!! to me - this is the BIGGEST difference between FOX and other networks.. it's like FOX practically goes OUT OF IT'S WAY to kill good shows (of course i don't believe they actually do this deliberately, but they couldn't do a better job if they tried)..
first stupid move - they put 'sons of tuson' in a slot pre-empting their MOST popular shows.. this is stupid for TWO reasons - even if the show WAS a hit, we all know they had NO intention of moving 'family guy' or 'american dad' to another night in the long-term, so even if 'tucson' had been wildly popular they would have been moving it to ANOTHER night just as fans had become accustomed to seeing it at a specific night & time - which inevitably drives down ratings.. second reason why this is stupid - fans who tuned in for 'family guy' or 'american dad' were first and foremost pissed off that their favorite show wasn't on.. i'm sure FOX execs were hoping this would bring in the HUGE audience tuning in for 'family guy' and they would then 'discover' how wonderful 'tucson' was, but human nature doesn't work like that - people's first reaction is to be pissed that their favorite show isn't on, immediately resent the show that's on in it's place, and then prommptly change the channel in disgust (all before the opening credits are even finished)..
they did the same thing with 'oliver beene' (which i loved) - they aired it on sundays for a few weeks and and as soon as it didn't do huge 'malcolm in the middle' ratings they started moving it around to different nights/times so even the die-hard fans of the show couldn't find it anymore (this was just before most ppl were getting tivo).. a little advice in case any fox execs ever read this board - STOP premiering shows in time-slots you KNOW d@mned well isn't the slot you intend to keep the show at.. just air the show at the night & time you actually intend it to air long-term, so that can become the night/time people associate with the show and people can FIND it! and if the show doesn't do HUGE numbers right away - don't desperately move it around to other nights and times as if that's gonna build a bigger audience when anyone with half a brain could tell you that just means the show has to start over at square-one building up an audience, and then finally - once the numbers ARE low because of all your screwing around - the show gets cancelled because of low ratings..

They cancelled "I Love Lucy" too.... Networks and programming take a lot more things into consideration than the desires of a few people. Some of the actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. go on to other shows - and some, it turns out, weren't all they were cracked up to be and fade into oblivion.

Tonight's episode was billed as the series finale. Suck it, Fox.

With the exception of Firefly, Arrested Development, Family Guy and Veronica Mars, almost all the other shows deserved to get cancelled at the times they did. Some of them (like Heroes, Prison Break, Scrubs etc.) shouldav been cancelled even earlier.
And on-topic, I don't see what Fox's habit of prematurely cancelling good shows has to do with this show, primarily cause SoT sucked.
I'm not so good with advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
