CBS killed Robin Williams, and ABC is mourning him

I heard that Robin Williams committed suicide because he embarrassed himself in front of CBS TV execs. He got down on his knees, and begged like a dog to keep his TV show on the air. CBS said no.

If all women were Sarah Michelle Gellar you would be a homosexual? Sounds like you already are....

I watched the first few episodes, and quickly lost interest. I like that I enjoy a wide variety of comedy shows, but I just never got the show. It's a shame that Robin Williams died under those circumstances, but I don't believe that this show being cancelled sent him over the edge.

He was suffering from depression long before the Crazy Ones was cancelled. I'm sure he was upset by the cancellation but i'm thinking it was the Parkinsons diagnosis that was the last straw.

And if anyone 'killed' Robin i say it was his wife. How could she leave him alone like that for almost a day?

I dont know anything that went on in the days before his death but 'I' wouldnt leave my husband in that condition.

ROBIN WILLIAMS DIDN'T DIE. HIS HUMOR REMAINS WITH US HERE ON EARTH.

Just to clear this up, Robin did not kill himself over this show. He was suffering from Lewy Body Demntia which is known to make people mentally unstable. I don't think his death oughta be ruled a suicide, I doubt it was a decision he consciously made and it sounds like he hasn't suffered an episode of depression in a long time.
