Canceled: Fox kills three shows. Poor Christian Slater...

Bookmark and Share

Fox will not be picking up more episodes of "Human Target" or "Breaking In."

The sitcom "Breaking In" was Christian Slater's third attempt at leading a hit TV show. Action drama "Human Target" has aired for two seasons and starred Mark Valley as a high stakes bodyguard. Both shows were considered bubble shows at Fox. Other bubble shows with worrisome futures are "Chicago Code" and "Lie To Me." Of all these shows, "Chicago Code" is the only one I'll miss.

UPDATE: Yikes, that was fast! "Chicago Code" has also been canceled. Dang it!

In other Fox news, NC native Jaime Pressly will head a new sitcom for the network next fall. "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" is about two women who were tormented by mean girls when they were younger. It's from the same folks who brought us "New Adventures of Old Christine."

Hum Target etc ....

I REALLY liked Human Target.  Great ensemble characters.

I kind of liked Chicago Code.  Good to see Jennifer Beal return.  A show about Chicago political corruption was likely not too popular with current WH Admin.

I had grown tired of Lie To Me.  Concept was different but Dr Lightman was a tedious character.
