Fox Cancels "Dads", "Surviving Jack" & "Enlisted"

Fox cleaned the comedy deck today, pulling the plug on freshman series "Dads", "Enlisted" and "Surviving Jack".
This leaves "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" as the only freshman Fox comedy to make it to second season.
"Surviving Jack" had received pretty decent reviews and showed off Chris Meloni's (Law & Order: SVU, Oz, True Blood) comedy skills, but was mired with dismal ratings.
It wasn't given a fair shake when it aired outside of Fox’s Tuesday comedy block. "Surviving Jack" ran behind "American Idol" — which, even in its heyday, has not been able to successfully launch a comedy series.
