'Til Death's' Brad Garrett confirms: It's dead - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

R.jsheedy · 03-23-2010, 04:20 PM

Brad Garrett stayed with his latest sitcom 'til its death, which he says has now happened after four seasons.

Though the official announcement hasn't been made yet by FOX, the triple-Emmy-winner for "Everybody Loves Raymond" tells Zap2it "'Til Death" is done for good. "The other night, we got an 0.8 [rating]," Garrett reports in his famously deep voice. "Once your mom stops watching, you're an 0.4. The network said, 'What do you suggest?' I said, 'If you give me one more month, I can take you to a zero.' And there was dead silence."

Garrett adds that others who were involved in "'Til Death" have moved on to other projects: "After year two, when you're getting beat by Telemundo, it's time to go home. I mean, even the show my housekeeper watches was beating the show that was paying her salary. I'd come in the room, and she'd quickly turn off Telemundo."

Soon to be honored along with the rest of the "Raymond" cast at the 8th Annual TV Land Awards -- which the nostalgia-themed network (now showing "Raymond" repeats regularly) will televise Sunday, April 25 -- Garrett also was an executive producer of "'Til Death." He says he isn't necessarily gun-shy about trying another series, but it may take a while.

"What this last experience did," he reflects, "was to make me more picky than ever. To be honest, when this show came to me four years ago, it was very different from what it ended up being. I was going with my gut then.

"As an actor, I want to work. I've been asked to teach some comedy classes; it's great to see these young actors who have a ton of questions and want to get an opinion. I love doing different things."

What's with you and the show getting to 100 episodes?

It was time for the show to end. I liked it, but it sucked this season.

Marvo301 · 03-23-2010, 07:25 PM

I hadn't realized the show was still alive! I stopped watching it a long time ago.

Brian Damage · 03-23-2010, 07:43 PM

The show just never clicked with me.

I'm upset that 'Til Death is cancelled, because I really enjoyed the show, but it just doesn't make sense that FOX would keep it around anymore. The ratings are horrible (and FOX is partially to blame) and they have been airing the episodes totally out of order.

That being said, I would love to see more DVD releases so I get to watch the episodes in order and can enjoy them.

Ya Know i'm getting sick of all of you people on here asking me questions like this....

One Reason..... FOX has had the show in production know for 81 episodes, just enough to secure it for syndication, know.... if they order more episdoes, that means more money that FOX will get from syndication... and they could acually make a profit with this show while they can. And plus i've been enjoying it a bit with the animation shows, and i was rely hopeing to see it live another round of cancellations.

Sony will get most, if not all the syndication money from 'Til Death.

question!

is it evan being sold into synidication

bigoranget · 04-01-2010, 09:22 PM

This show might make cable syndication but I doubt many local affiliates will be rushing to buy the rights to this show.

My guess is How I Met Your Mother will be the bigest comedy to enter local broadcast syndication in the fall.

R.jsheedy · 04-01-2010, 09:33 PM

That is the only one that i know i will be seeing.

i highly doubt til death will be bought by local afliations, but if sonny gives a cabel network enough of a bargin, they may just buy in!

Exactly. So why even renew it for another season to get to 100 episodes?

R.jsheedy · 04-05-2010, 04:57 PM

More Money!!! DUH!
