As the other people in this thread will attest, he could make it on his own.

So…how many people are _actually_ surprised to hear that the show is cancelled? They only aired 14 episodes, the last of which was on over 4 months ago. Didn’t most people already assume that it was cancelled by now? It’s not as though there were ads touting the fact that it was only on hiatus…

But anyway, I’ll miss it. I loved Jessica, in a totally platonic, how Andy loved Keith sort of way. Damn them for taking away a good role model!

I’m Irish.

Sigh. Stupid Fox. They’ve cancelled almost every single show of theirs that I watched. Oh well. More time for gaming and walking.

> But don’t worry. All is not lost. Eliza Dushku has her new show, True Calling, on Fox. And Time Minear (Angel, Firefly) will be exec-producing, directing, and writing a new drama called “Wonder Falls” that sounds good (I think that will be a mid-season replacement though.) He seemed pretty excited about it.

Sorry, but news of interestiong, well-made shows appearing on Fox is not “good” news. It is, in fact, awful news, because it means neither of those shows will last for more than a dozen episodes.
