Funnyman Chris Rock is planning to end the TV show based on his early life after four seasons.

Everybody Hates Chris hasn't been picked up for a fifth season and the comedian plans to make it easy for bosses at America's CW network by ending the current season with a fitting finale.

Actor Terry Crews, who plays Rock's dad in the series, says, "Chris Rock didn't graduate high school and started comedy when he was, like, 17 years old. Our Chris (Tyler James Williams) is now a sophomore in high school, so the timing is lining up pretty well. Once he becomes a comedian, the show's over."

And Williams, who is currently pursuing a film course at New York University, admits he's happy with the ending of the show, which is unofficially planned for 8 May.

He tells TV Guide magazine, "An envelope arrives (with his high-school equivalency results), but before we find out the results, we fade to black. If it ends here, we ended it the right way."

Rock agrees: "It might not be a bad way to go."

There was info about this in TV Guide Magazine.

It only makes sense to give the show one more season for syndication value, especially if it's going to be airing on Nick at Nite. But, whatever.

I got a very strong feeling that one of the black networks such as TVOne or BET might soon pick up the reruns of the show.

Bought the 1st season on DVD. Guess I'll get the next two as well. :)

I was wondering if this show was still on but now that i read this, i know the answer. I haven't seen it in a long time because of my 2nd job but i'll check out the rest of the episodes on dvd.
