My name is Earl cancelled

NBC has pulled the plug on My Name is Earl. The show's sidekick, Ethan Suplee, confirmed the news via Twitter. "Just got the call that My Name Is Earl has been canceled," he wrote. "They sure did take their time with that decision -- or rather informing us of it." An Earl insider says execs at 20th Century (the show's producer) are in discussions with Fox and ABC about picking up the four-year-old comedy.

I hope Fox or ABC take over the show

On a plus point Scrubs has been renewed for a ninth season with stars Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke signed on for six episodes :D

Plus point?

another network will pick this up and have a guaranteed hit

Not sure, it'll definitely get picked up but it's only reaching 6m viewers as it is. I think it should do 2 more series max.

Used to love it but the last series was lame and its time to call it a day. :thumbup:

Which series? Have you seen 4 yet?

At the very least it deserves a final episode. This is a joke.

I dunno, The last series that was shown on E4? 3rd or 4th I guess - loved the 1st couple but we didnt enjoy the latest one as much and said it was probably time to call it a day.

Scrubs is probably the TV show I've watched and enjoyed most over the last few years.

Not just for it's comedy, but the serious messages they drop in.

Yeh that was 4. Thought it was much better than 3.

The episode with Seth Green was class, as was the one with the Stuntman guy.

I agree it's not quite what it was, but it's hardly gone that far downhill. Like I say, one more series should be done IMO. Two at a stretch but that'd be pushing it. It'll definitely get picked up.

Can't see Jason Lee wanting to do it for too much longer anyway.

Can't believe they're doing this, the ending was too perfect.

Exactly. Ludicrous decision.

It only finished showing in America a couple of weeks ago so it won't be in England for a while. I imagine Libertine watched it in a similar way to me, which was on the channel known as "my computer".

Now Jason Lee I will definately miss!

Its all down to opinion I guess but we certainly didnt enjoy the last series we saw. :thumbup:

I just dont like to see once great comedies done to a death - Id prefer to remember them as they were at their best.

I was talking about Scrubs. That was meant to finish after 8 seasons, the last episode of season 8 was called "My Finale" and it wrapped everything up, including loads of shots of the production staff/camera men etc. Then the tv company (I can't remember which one) went and commissioned a 9th season and Scrubs went for it. I don't care about My Name Is Earl.

Perfect, exactly.

I'll admit it about had me in tears, was really emotional...especially when you've grown up with it.

It's like Friends, and the talk about a movie. No. It ended perfectly. Leave it.

i meant Scrubbs, from what I read it hasn't officially finished, even if the story lines were rapped up

the worst cancellation was The West Wing, you could carry that on for as long as there is tv as you always have have someone else win the election, I was pissed off then they canned that, they then only did 1 series of Studio 60 which as just starting to get into its stride before the network canned it

That's the whole point we're making :unsure: We're compalining about the fact that it hasn't actually finished when they should have left it after the 8th season. Its common knowledge that it was meant to end after the 8th season but last week a ninth season was comissioned where it's going to hand over to other characters

I thought the 1 that had just finished on E4 was the 8th, that's where the confusion on my part came in

its not a totally bad idea if 1 or 2 established characters are around as cameos until the new 1s are established but the new characters need to be good in their own right and not just cheaper "new versions" of J.D and co

I did indeed. ;)

It's just crazy. If it's happening, it has to be called Scrubs: Interns or something like the webisodes. It can't keep the same name.

And how shit is it going to be without JD narrating...
