No surprise here — seven ho-hum weeks into the midseason run of CBS’ series remake of the hit Rush Hour (http://forums.previously.tv/forum/1741-rush-hour/) action comedy franchise, the network has decided not to renew the show for a second season. The series will stay on the air until its first-season run ends. Meanwhile, still no official word on Limitless. Awaiting cancellation, CBS TV Studios already had b […]

Didn't get a chance to watch it but wow that was fast. Didn't seem that bad in the previews.

Good riddance! Terrible show.

I watch every week. The leads are awful but supporting cast are decent. It also has those bad Walker Texas Ranger slow mo kicks.

Good riddance! Terrible show.

1. Don’t be Rush Hour

We can’t do enough to stress this final, and most important, point. Rush Hour was a terrible show. Its leads lacked the chemistry of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, its action was a far cry from the jolly popcorn antics of the Brett Ratner films, and the production values were practically non-existent. Why make a martial arts show with no martial artists? Seriously, Bill Lawrence (Cougar Town, Scrubs) produced this? Bizarre! In the late 90s, Marshall Law, with Sammo Hung and Arsenio Hall, ran for 2 seasons and was superior to Rush Hour in every way. We’re never happy when a show is cancelled, and we hope that everyone who lost their job as a result is able to swiftly find new employment, but we can’t deny that Rush Hour didn’t deserve its ultimate fate.

But back to Lethal Weapon. With Rush Hour officially cancelled as of May 16th, it may serve as a cautionary tale for everything the Lethal Weapon series needs to avoid if it wants to succeed. Attention, Lethal Weapon producers, if you take nothing else from this list, please just remember: don’t be Rush Hour.
