Don't know if anyone else is pissed, but I am. The shows writing has gone a little down hill, the cast are creepy scientologists, and is stupid humor. But, it was a good show you could just relax and watch dumb comedy.
Guess it's to make room for reality TV. First Freaks and Geeks. Then Firefly. Now this show. I wonder what the studios are thinking most of the time.
/edit: oh and Twin Peaks too

WTF Twin Peaks is from 1990, Freaks and Geeks aired in 1999-2000, even firefly is 7 years old. Are you stuck in a time warp?
If it's a truly good show, like 90210 and Melrose Place, it will be repurposed ;)
The studios are probably thinking that the ratings sucked, reality shows are cheaper to produce, and lots of people like them. I probably laughed more out loud for this season of Survivor than during a sitcom since Seinfeld was on.

Earl was alright, we watched it, but eh... I could see it getting the axe.
One show that shouldn't have gotten it (in addition to Firefly of course) was Sons and Daughters, that was a hilarious original comedy.

I'm not stuck in the past. Just three shows off of the top of my head. Just bought the full series of them all, so they we're the first I thought of.
I'm just happy the HBO shows are about to start up again.

I was surprised it was cancelled. I think Jaime Pressley's character was hilarious. Maybe some lesser network will pick it up.

I watched the first 2 season's of Earl then gave up. It got repetitive.
I was really disappointed to learn that The Unusals was not picked up for a second season. I thought it was a really good quirky cop show. This on the Heels of Life on Mars getting canceled.
Why do people hate quirky cop shows? Fuckers.

I never found that show funny. I also don't really find 30 Rock all that funny.
I'm glad they didn't cancel Chuck. I'm upset that they canceled Sarah Connor Chronicles.

I saw some of the first few episodes of Earl, thought it was funny, and a good idea for a show... stopped watching it, though.. not too broken up about it.. sorry for your loss though.
