Was so busy at work and really don't have the priviledge to watch normal TV. I had no choice but download TSCC (whole S1 and S2). I loved every episode! And I'm going to buy a boxed set online to add to my collection. Please don't cancel TSCC. Give the final installments in S3, and surely, people like me would still buy the boxed version of such a good show. And like most of the fans, I similarly applaud Summer's performance in Firefly. Anyways, I beg you... please don't cancel all your good shows. Hi, I’m from South East Asia (the Philippines to be exact), and was lucky to find TSCC Seaon 1 airing over a local channel last year.

It's so cheap (and presumably the network is still making good money on their reality shows with Idol just now coming online), they can afford to pocket a season and a half to whip out in case another show tanks or, god forbid, the actor's union goes on strike. They've got programming stockpiled for a rainy day. Fox is having a good year with Fringe and maybe they'll get lightning to strike twice with Lie to Me and maybe even Dollhouse. Remember 2 seasons ago, they totally tanked with Justice and Vanished and were scrambling to fill in the holes. Twice in recent history (Drew Carey and now According to Jim), ABC has miraculously found "extra" episodes of shows thought to be long dead to fill holes in the schedule.

I loved it the first season, but now it is like every episode is the same...Joy and Eddie have an an asnine argument...Eddie's ego gets bruised so he is going to prove her wrong...he goes off and does something stupid and insensative and everybody hates them both. It is BORING! The Woodcocks could disappear from the planet and I would never miss them. Brad Garrett is hilarious...Joley Fisher is also a very funny lady, but IMO they just aren't funy together.

(3) Maybe morbid curiosity will inspire people to tune in for the horrendous disaster (erm, I mean, great new series) that is Dollhouse, and those viewers will suddenly discover the cheesy goodness that is Summer Glau beating on people.

As much as I will miss it when it's gone, I hope Fox do the 8 final episodes rather than just 6 and air them. And when the season comes out on DVD I hope the have a lot on bonus footage unlike past seasons. I think PB is winding up the series this season any way.

They presumably still have 15 more episodes to air from this season's order. Pushing them off to summer doesn't sound like a bad idea, since even new episodes of Til Death do worse than repeats of House, and likely Bones. http://epguides.com/TilDeath/ Fox aired double episodes of Til Death twice in October before pulling it from the line up entirely after 7 total episodes this season.
