They’ve cancelled Human Target **and** \*\*\*\* The Chicago Code - two of my favorite shows.  
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :mad:

Time to find Chi McBride’s and Mark Valley’s next project(s). Hope Mark is still kicking butt in his next role.

I’m not really surprised with Human Target. I still enjoyed the show but I’ll admit they changed too much too quickly. I can see why it lost viewers.

This is the saddest I’ve ever been for the cancellation of a show I’ve never seen. My name is Christopher Chance and I took some sort of weird pride in knowing my name was being represented on TV in such a kickass way. Total bummer.

That really, massively sucks. Poor Mark Valley- he can’t catch a break, can he? And Chi McBride, too.

If it helps, the last name of the family on Raising Hope is Chance. And that show was renewed.

How unusual it is for Fox to cancel a show with a devoted fanbase. I’m sure this has never happened before.

While I will miss \*The Chicago Code \*terribly, I will take solace in the fact that my taste is apparently too good to coincide with the pabulum swilled by the masses.

While I do mourn for this show I’ve never seen, I’ll just have to take solace in the legacy of Christopher Chance.

So I ask you fans in retrospect, on a scale of Ghandi to Jack Bauer, exactly how much ass would you say Christopher Chance kicked?

Christoper Chance kicked as much ass as was required of him.

Chuck Norris refused to guest star on the show as a bad guy.

Christopher Chance got the job done \*without \*resorting to torture. _That’s_ how bad ass.
