What happened to these shows?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Having already mentioned Futurama as no longer being in the program guide (on FOX anyway) here are some more shows that I have a season pass to with no upcoming episodes:

Just Shoot Me. This show has been pre-empted the last two weeks and in not on the schedule for the next two weeks.

Drew Carey. 20/20 is scheduled to be in its timeslot for the next two weeks.

Andy Richter. This was being shown twice a week for awhile, not it's not on at all.

I have not read anything official about the cancellation of any of these shows, but it looks like none of them will be back next season if at all.

I've been wondering WHERE Andy Richter is too! I love that show!

(Of course, I still miss Firefly too, but I know what happened to it... :()

Fox is pulling Andy Richter for February sweeps, which sure isn't going to help it get any new viewers. :rolleyes:

Supposedly, they'll have three new episodes on March 2, 9, and 16, and then it's being replaced by a new sitcom called "The Pitts," which sounds like it's going to be, uh, the pits.

I assume Fox is also pulling "Futurama" for February sweeps, too, just in time for football to stop pre-empting it.

Over at epguides, there's a list of the current schedule, which also includes "on hiatus", "cancelled this season", and "cancelled last season".

Just Shoot Me: on hiatus
Drew Carrey: still listed Friday 9:30
Andy Richter: not even listed
Futurama: not even listed
MDs: cancelled this season

So, not exhaustive, but a good place to start.

I think Futurama is on Cartoon Network now.

As The Nightfly said, it was officially cancelled December 13th. We will not see any unaired episodes.

Cartoon Network is showing reruns of Futurama. To my knowledge, they will not be making any new episodes.

I don't think FOX has officially announced Futurama's cancellation, but in the middle of last season (approximately) they stopped ordering new episodes. Because of the long lead time in animation, that left several episodes completed and on the shelf, which have been shown this season. (We may be at the end of those now.)

While it is remotely possible that FOX could start up the Futurama production line again (after seeing CN have great numbers, for example), it's highly unlikely.

Blah. FOX begged Matt Groening to create another show, then as soon as it didn't do Simpsons-like numbers right out of the gate, they did everything they could to kill it.

Drew Carey (and also Whose Line) has ALREADY been renewed for next season (2003-04). Just wanted to add to the excellent information already present in this thread.

Unfortunately, I can no longer find a link. I read the information a month or two ago.
