The poor writing of S2 and S3 killed the show.

And even then, mainly Season 3.

Not surpised, but it would have been nice if they could have at least gotten a full season to go out on. But, at least this way it should be "all killer, no filler" for the rest of the show. Especially if the remaining episodes are as good as the rest of this season has been so far.

One other, slight, postive about it - at least the DVD set for this season should be much cheaper.

Aww...wasn't one of my favorite shows, but I'm sad to see it go. I agree though...hopefully this season on DVD will be cheaper than previous ones (although they drop quite a bit for sales).

I'm going to miss seeing Kelly Rowan and Melinda Clarke every week. They are probably the hottest TV moms I've ever seen.

Huge guilty pleasure of mine. Sad to see it ending just when it started to get good again.

Glad I stopped watching at the end of S3. That was a perfect series finale in my mind.

Heres a big fuck you to Fox. Cancel a show that has improved its ratings and writing. This coupled with the fact that One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars are also on the bubble...I will have nothing to watch next year. Once again, fuck you Fox.

Season 1 will go down as one of the greatest first seasons of all-time.

Unfortunately, the rest of the show sucked.

well at least they can go out properly, not having a strange season/series finale.

But damn. This season has been much better than the past 2..and now they cancel it ugh.

IB sandy and kirsten adopt ryan.

But this does suck, Ratings have improved, and the story has improved. Ugh, couldnt they give it 5 seasons?

Seriouslly why does Fox do this? Its just ANOTHER black hole for them, sure the OC wasnt bringing in the audience it used too, but it would bring in more than whatever crap they throw in there. BAH.

Did I mention I hate FOX? FOX with the oh...2-4 tv shows that actually generate ratings, and everything is a blackhole. They cancel shows that either A)hasnt had a chance to build a audience or B)Is regaining itself.

I will never forgive fox for canceling firefly..and now with the OC?

F you FOX.

Its a shame that my top 2 shows are on FOX..so I still have to watch... (House and 24)

ABC Family or some other network might get the rights to air it like they do to shows that don't make 100 eps, usually go to ABC Family for syndication.

Now with the exception of Bones, Fox has canceled every series I have enjoyed on that channel for the past 10 years.

I'd like to add to the collective "Fuck you Fox" pile.

Triple Bugger!

Which actors do you think will keep their careers going after this show has finished ?
