is King of the Hill officially cancelled and done ?

[Mikey]

Last Sunday Fox aired the Canadian family episode.

I gather this episode was new.

Most other shows have already played their season finales this past week.

Does this make this past episode the last of the series ?

If so, it certainly didn't feel like a "final episode"

That was the seasons final but is it the end? Cartoon network is airing the show and it does verywell just like awhile back they started airing a canceled show called Family Guy which was so hugh FOX brought it back plus next seasons replacement show Cleveland yes the guy from Family guy is getting his own show which i think will bomd and hopefully King of the Hill will be back

They purposely wrote it like that because they didn't know (at the time the finale was written/recorded) whether the show might be picked up. They'd been cancelled before, only to be renewed later. And there was talk that ABC might be interested in taking over the show.

Since then I guess ABC has passed on Hill, but they're producing Judge's new project, "The Goode Family".

hope that other cartoon they are running now ain't its replacement. I can't even remember the title its soo wretched.

I forgot to watch last night. Wasn't the dude from Ace of Cakes suppose to be on?

I just can't believe that they finally started showing it in 16:9 HD not long before planning to cancel it.

i heard that they were finally over with..but honestly i dont know..hadnt watched it in years...but am glad that adult swim is showing it...missed a ton of them...bad part..they arent showing them in any kind of order...for the most part...which kinda sucks, not knowing what happened and in which order...we watched them up to season 4 or 5 probably and stopped for whatever reason...lol...its a great show...love dale...he's so paranoid...

I know Medium and Earl got cancelled. Kinda liked Medium but it was a little far fetched on some of the storylines. I know Joss Whedons Dollhouse got renewed. Guess they're hoping it catches on like Buffy did in the second season. Said they had a lot of hits on the site checking it out after it aired and that played in the decision. I think they are moving the time slot. It's on Fridays which is tough but I'll grab the first season on dvd when it's released. Eliza Dushku alone is worth that.

My Name Is Earl was canceled?????

[jessica]

Ha! Can you believe I've never seen any of these episodes? Seriously.

I know Medium and Earl got cancelled. Kinda liked Medium but it was a little far fetched on some of the storylines.

Medium will be back; it was just picked up by CBS.

[Mikey]

I'm going to miss King of the Hill

It seems to be the only cartoon out there that's not over the top and overly dumb.

[rchatlin]

There are a few more episodes yet to air,
if not on Fox next year, then most likely included with the final season DVD release.

Rumors another network will pick up King of the Hill.. Mike Judge has a new cartoon out and that network may use King of the Hill as a intro.

NBC cancels 'Earl' and 'Medium'; CBS axes 'Unit'

My name is earlBelt-tightening broadcasters continue to take hard-line stances against older, modestly performing shows.

CBS has canceled long-running Sunday night military action-drama "The Unit" and NBC is putting an end to Thursday night comedy mainstay "My Name Is Earl" and thriller "Medium." The moves come after late-in-the-game saves for relatively new fan favorites like NBC's "Chuck" and Fox's "Dollhouse,"

Sources also say there's some potential silver lining: "Earl" studio 20th TV is talking to Fox and ABC about one of the networks possibly picking up the comedy.

ABC in particular has been receptive to picking up rival shows, having taken "Scrubs" after NBC canceled the series last year and committing to take on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" should CBS cancel the series (there's still no official word on "Christine," though ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said this morning that last he heard CBS was renewing the show).

Both "Earl" and "The Unit" ran four seasons; "Medium" for five. "Earl" averaged 4.5 million viewers and a 1.7 adult demo rating this season; "The Unit" pulled 9.6 million viewers and a 2.4 rating; "Medium" had 7.2 million viewers and a 2.2 rating.
