The Fox television network said Wednesday it was canceling plans for a fourth edition of ''The Simple Life,'' co-starring feuding celebrity socialites Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

I think we all owe FOX an appology...

:smile: You know, most people only get 3 chances to get something right...it seems to have taken them 4. :smile: I didn't even know they had done more than one season of that (sadly, I let a few neurons atrophy by watching that train wreck :redface:).
 
I remember seeing a commercialf or a 2nd but i figured it would have been stopped before spreading into everyones TV... guess i was wrong.
 
I think FOX has plenty of other problems to solve before I thank them...

This is like saying that we owe bin Ladin an apology because, even though he organized one terrorist attack against the U.S., he's canceled all the other ones. :smile:

Hey, but if Paris Hilton and friend were involved I'd let it happen. :smile:

Firefly gets cancelled, but Joe Millionaire gets two seasons. I laud them for the Simpsons and X-Files, but other than that, Fox can kiss my ass. Although I do like the FSN sports coverage and greatly prefer Joe Buck's MLB broadcast to Jon Miller and Joe Morgan over on ESPN.

Arrested Development is the only show I watch, and FOX seems to be trying to kill it prematurely.

Has anyone seen the new series "Over There" on FX cable? FX cable is owned by Fox entertainemnt. It is the first time a series on a war has aired while the war was still being fought.

The fictional series follows a squad of soldiers in Iraq and how the war affects their families at home. "RATED for Mature Audiences." Lots of blood, violence foul language ,and some sexual content.

To me the overall theme of the series comes across as antiwar.

Yah what is their problem! I've been talken about this with a friend for a while. That show rocks so much ass that it is not even funny yet it's like FOX will move heaven and Earth to cancel it!

It's like when they kept canceling family guy. Is there a secret competition in the network arena to see who can alienate as many viewers as possible?

What about uhm.. "The Inside". I never was around to watch it (because it was on wednesday prime time and there was so much badassness being shown on TV between 6-10pm on wednesday nights that I could never get to it) but i downloaded the episodes and it was such an awesome as hell show even though the kickass older dude quit after only like 4 episodes. Gawd i hope that show is still on
