ROGUE06 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm really surprised noone mentioned one of the funniest shows on television, Chappelle's show! I know it is not really cancelled, more of in hiatus, but Chappelle needs to get his act together and finish season 3 and do 4. As of now in the next few months, the 4 unaired season 3 episodes of skits only are going to be aired and look absolutely hilarious. Great point. Chappelle rules... go see block party... it's awesome.To add to all the drama about the future of Chappelle's show, Chappelle said that if comedy central shows the skits from what they filmed for season 3, then the show is officially done for good. The way I like to look at this is, all the material from seasons 1-2 have been built up and redone many times and used for a big portion of his standup career. The deadline that was given to him about season 3 wasn't enough for him. In his shoes, he has really high standards since the show is a huge success and I guess he just wants to make it at the highest standards he can, and he feels none of it is there yet. Regardless, I hope he gets his **** together and starts filming again. Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Dog 1 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 "Lucky" was a cool show a couple of years ago on FX starring John Corbett. I must have been the only person that watched it, but I thought it was great. Considering it hit at about the same time the poker boom hit, I'm surprised it only lasted one season.

Regardless, I hope he gets his **** together and starts filming again.Actually, what happened there is that while they were filming some skit about (and this is a shocker) race for season 3, Chapelle noticed that one of the white people on set, like a cameraman or something, was laughing in the wrong way at it (like, he was coming off a little racist), and that got Chapelle thinking about what his show was doing socially, and that's when he had to take some time off and go to Africa and be crazy."Lucky" was a cool show a couple of years ago on FX starring John Corbett.

Jadaki 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Futurama, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Mr. ShowAnyone care to explain to me how Fox cancels the first two and yet continues running Mad TV? The sad thing is that all of three of them are appreciated as excellent shows and have decent followings.Can anyone explain what Fox ever does right?I was watching Adult Swim one night and they had a little blurb between shows that summed it up really well."One of our favorite shows is Arrested Devlopment""Too bad it's cancelled now""Maybe we shoudl pick it up""It wouldn't be the first time we found gold digging through Fox's trash"Seriously, Fox executives must be the most incompetient/out of touch group of television people in existance.

PUT THE ****IN SHOW ON FOR A FULL SEASON NOT JUST ONE EPISODE THEN 4 REPEATS THEN ONE EPISODE!!!Can you tell I'm angry about this? I can never tell when there is going to be a new episode and they are doing a sh*tty promotion job. They will probably cancel it again. Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 There was a show on CBS, I think it was called Time and Again or something. Basically an average joe gets hit by a train and the gov't rebuilds him a la 6 million dollar man. But, this version showed more of the human side of the guy. Also, Farscape, Invisible Man, both of Andy Richter's shows, and LA Dragnet.I am going to miss West Wing, but the show has admittedly declined in my top ten list since Sorkin left. It's still one of the smartest shows on tv right now, but it was outstanding in the first few seasons.To paraphrase a previous statement: The Shield gets cancelled and lots of people die slow painful deaths...
