Fox Cancels "Dads", "Surviving Jack" & "Enlisted"
by NELLIE ANDREEVA
May 7, 2014

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.

There had been talk as recently as several days ago about "Dads" possibly getting a reprieve. While not well received by critics, to put it mildly, the multi-camera series performed as well or even better than the renewed Fox comedies — "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project".

It comes from sister studio 20th TV and one of Fox’s top producers, Seth MacFarlane of "Family Guy".

I didn't...even "The Cleveland Show" (Which is cancelled...concluded) was FAR more better than these shows combined!

There was some buzz that Fox was going to give it another shot, thinking Seth's new movie would boost interest. But..yeah, not surprised.

I thought Dads was adorable! My whole family liked it.

No renewal of this show, it is messed up and I'm glad this show become a fallen victim.

Because yeah the thinking over at FOX is that if the audience likes Family Guy than automatically they're going to like anything by Seth McFarlane which isn't the case, I can barely stomach The Cleveland Show and the movie Ted was only mildly funny.

I liked it , but I probably was the only one who did that's why it's canceled.
