Can 'Til Death Survive Another Round of FOX Cancellations? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What do you think? Is this finally it for the sitcom or will they survive yet again?

Executives are absolutely obsessed on getting this show past 100 episodes (syndication benchmark). My guess is one more year of 22 episodes, then done.

...FOX really doesn't want to schedule "'TIL DEATH". But they're bound to, by contract. That's why they've been "burning it off" lately on Sundays, before "THE SIMPSONS". But they're probably so tired of it by now, this is what I think happened towards the end of last week's Daytona 500:

FOX EXECUTIVE: [on phone, shortly before 7pm(et), talking to a NASCAR official] Look, I don't care which two cars have the collision! I want you to make sure there is one. I want the yellow flag to be stretched out long enough to delay the end of the race towards 7:50, so we can pad out the rest of the time before 'THE SIMPSONS' come on at eight! Got that? Good!! I think it's safe to say Fox Sports will be VERY interested in renewing your contract for next year....you wanna see 'TIL DEATH'? Wait till it comes out on DVD!!! {ends conversation by slamming down cell phone}

It Will Deffently Be Back In Sonny Wants It In Syndication Good Enough. So Maybe It Will, Maybe It Won't. I think it will because they rely want in in syndication. Could Be the only place it makes money... but with all of the casting changes i don't know if it will make it in there. might get the same excuse 8 simple rules got.

It's DONE. I love the show, but 81 episodes is more than enough for syndication. Most shows can get syndication with 60 episodes, and this has 80. Enjoy the show until May!

This show is okay but it way beyond time for it to end. It hasn't really worked in any of the timeslots FOX has put this show in. This show has been given so many chances while other shows that are better have been cancelled after 13 episodes or less. Plus you never know when this show will air. It is time to end it.
