I readily assume it will be awful.

They ruined Coupling, which then ruined itself in the last series because there was no Jeff :P

Cassi, you don't like The Office? Oh my God woman. Get a grip.

Stu's got the right idea, it's hilarious. XDD

I just have this vision of the studio executives saying:

"What do you mean 'No canned laughter'?! When will people know when stuff is funny??!!!!11!11111!!!"

I can think of one American sitcom that does not rely on punchlines, and that's FOX's Arrested Development. Instead the show uses *GASP!* brilliant dialougue and sight gags.

And now the show is being discontinued. Why? Lack of viewership. *shakes angry fist at the boatloads of reality shows*

Good thing I snatched up the season 1 DVD <3

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Arrested Deveopment is being canned????

After being showered by critical praise and awards out the ying-yang its being canned? Are the people that run FOX stupid. What's next? A television station devoted entirely to reality shows and pandering to a single political party?

Wait a minute....Arrested Development is getting canceled?????
You've gotta be kidding me.
That's one of the funniest shows on right now and it's getting canceled?

UUGH.. just lemme at whoever the nutjob is that's running fox so I can kick them really hard right in their butt.

Yes.

Family Guy and now Arrested Development.

I'm starting to think they'll shoot darts at a wall whilst blindfolded to decide they're next big decision.

Yes Amy, that's what I was alluding to. I do feel that if I'd made it up myself it would've been slightly wittier.

Ah yes, makes sense. :P Of course.

They would probally call Little America. Aleast 2DTV http://tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMa ... owid-7360/ hasn't been Americanized.

:evil: If that true I'll wait for the day when The Simpsons gets cancelled after a dart end up in that section. :evil: Because I just don't find it funny at all.

Seriously Family Guy, Futurama , Celebrity Deathmatch and Beavis & Butthead should never got cancelled or ended because they were both very funny and entraining.

There is good news about South Park:

SouthParkStudios.com reports that Season 9 will begin on March 9th, and the second half will air from October 19th.

It's on tonight! I do not think it will be destroyed. It looks good. The actor in it is good. Previews aren't always right though.
