Cancelled TV Shows 2008/2009


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the info Rappy. Good news about Burn Notice. I don't really like Psych that much, makes me nostalgic for the really good episodes of the West Wing. It is better than Monk though, which is to me is just a modern Murder She Wrote, and it's wasting Tony Shalhoub's talents.

Mathachew, I think if they called it "American Conspiracy" viewers would just assume it's a documentary about George W. Bush's administration.

No, I wouldn't think that at all.

I'd be pretty gutted if they cancelled Prison Break, want to see just how they could finish it.

I wouldn't want to see Ghost Whisperer cancelled either, I adore Jennifer Love Hewitt in those wee dresses she wears! Makes her very booby, yes indeed.

Everything else I watch (and that's a lot) is on the unlikely list.

Still on the fence over this new Knight Rider. Attack mode I can understand, but come on, transforming into a F150 (?) 4x4 or even the submersible? Um, yeah... The show is turning into more of Ford Rider than anything else -- the pimpage of GT40's, prototype GT40's, F150's (?), Mustangs, etc. is getting a bit crazy. Right up there with the utterly shameless Degree plugs on Eureka.

lol yeah it was shameless but I kind of liked it. It was something different. It was believable that sponsorship/advertising like that could fit into the "real" world of the TV show Eureka itself. However, Knight Rider has gone extremely overboard on the Ford advertising. Knight Rider 2000 was bad enough back in the day but now I mean come on, it's like the show is single-handily trying to save Ford Motor company from bankruptcy or something.

Watching that show Numb3rs is like watching a "hacker" in possibly every Hollywood movie that featured a hacker. The majority of the people don't get the "tech" lingo any but for those of us who do know a thing or two about the computers are completely dumbfounded by the crap being spewed by these so called experts on screen.

Numb3rs is just like that. The fact that they keep making up ridiculous mathematical equations and formulas just to keep the show going insulting to viewers.

With that being said. They should keep the following shows no matter what:

- Family Guy

- Burn Notice

- Chuck

- Heroes

- The Simpsons

- Prison Break

- Two and a Half Men

- 90210 <-- I know I'm gonna get a lot of grief for this but **** it: Its entertaining :D

I watch it and enjoy it for what it is, an hour of rich kids being spoilt little brats :D

Last night's Ghost Whisperer got a 6.1/11 rating. Which is the night's highest rated single show. The premiere and the second show have done huge ratings. There is no way CBS is canceling GW. I would like to know who is the wise a$$ that came up with that list.

King of the Hill Canceled!

2u7offr.jpg

After several previous brushes with cancellation, Fox has opted not to renew veteran animated comedy "King of the Hill" beyond its current 13th season.

In April, Fox picked up 13 more episodes from the 20th Century Fox TV-produced show, which are wrapping production.

A lot has changed since "King of the Hill" premiered in 1997. Its creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge have moved on to other projects -- Daniels developed and is running NBC's "The Office," and Judge has a new animated series, "The Goode Family," launching on ABC in midseason.

Judge had continued to voice the central character on the series, alongside voiceover cast members Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Brittany Murphy, Tom Petty, Johnny Hardwick and Stephen Root.

"Hill" has been executive produced by Judge, Daniels, John Altschuler, Dave Krinsky, Michael Rotenberg, Howard Klein, Jim Dauterive and Garland Testa.

Long-Running Animated Comedy 'King of the Hill' Canceled

"King of the Hill" is over the hill at Fox, which is canceling the long-running animated comedy.

Final episodes of the half-hour series, now in its 13th year, likely will air during the 2009-10 season, Fox said Friday. The network recently ordered 13 new episodes, and animated series have a long production schedule.

"King of the Hill" chronicles the life of blue-collar family man Hank Hill of Texas and his family and friends. Hank is voiced by series co-creator and executive producer Mike Judge. Others in the cast include Kathy Najimy, Brittany Murphy and Stephen Root.

The picture is brighter for another Sunday night animated show on Fox, "American Dad," which was renewed for its fifth season. It has posted single-digit ratings gains among advertiser-favored young adult viewers and total viewers.

Ratings for "King of the Hill" have been relatively flat early this season.

"American Dad" is about Stan Smith, a dedicated conservative, and his oddball family in Langley, Va. Series co-creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane voices Stan in the series, which also features the voices of Wendy Schaal, Rachael MacFarlane and Scott Grimes.

    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
