Comedy Central has decided not to renew the series. The second half of season 7, beginning June 19th, will be its last.Comedy Central’s EVP of Programming Dave Bernath views the network’s decision as “the natural end” to the show’s improbable comeback. “That’s a helluva run that few shows achieve, and especially given the fact that it came back to life, it’s really an amazing story,” he says. “I’m more thankful and feel a sense of gratitude toward the whole process — and that we found a way to keep going for 52 more episodes — than I really am even thinking about the ending. It’s a blessing that it came back and lasted so long.”
Good quote by David X. Cohen in this: “I felt like we were already in the bonus round on these last couple of seasons, so I can’t say I was devastated by the news. It was what I had expected two years earlier. At this point I keep a suitcase by my office door so I can be cancelled at a moment’s notice.”
» This season will be their last. TLC decided not to renew “Kate Plus 8” after the current season. The network may continue to check in with the family — famously torn apart after Kate Gosselin divorced her husband Jon, with the reality TV fallout that followed — through televised specials. Thank goodness, because we were getting worried.
Number of people in this photo who still host shows on CNN: Zero. Sorry Eliot Spitzer. ”Anderson Cooper 360” will now take the 8p.m. time slot, as it always should’ve been.
You’ve saved lives and gotten people justice.John Walsh • In brief closing remarks on the last weekly episode of “America’s Most Wanted,” which was canceled due to high production costs. Which we don’t believe. An episode of “House” costs ten times as much as this, mark our words. Your impessive body of work will be missed, John.
