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.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
