I am in a state of disbelief. Not only has Fox cancelled The Chicago Code, Human Target, Breaking In and Lie to Me, they’ve also cancelled one of my favorite comedies, Traffic Light. It’s been quite a bloodbath over at the Fox Network tonight. I hope they’re done, but who knows? I hate to think there are more cancellations to come.

There was nothing I didn’t like about the three hour-long dramas. The Chicago Code was an unusual cop show that had great acting and writing by all involved. The adrenline-pumping Human Target — what can I say? It had me on the edge of my seat more often than not. As for Lie to Me, I found the methods employed on that show to catch liars quite unique. I always loved when Cal (Tim Roth) proved his point by showing pictures of some of the more famous liars in our history.

I can’t really say anything about Breaking In because that’s one of the shows that didn’t make it to my DVR. I mean, there’s only so much recording time, right? But it starred Christian Slater, and that’s enough for me.

As for Traffic Light, yes it was another Friends spin-off, but the actors are what made the show great. It never failed to make me laugh during the half-hour it was on.

As if the unemployment level weren’t bad enough, think of all the people who are now out of work. I can only hope the writers find other work soon, possibly even on Fox on the shows that could use it. Might I mention Raising Hope and Glee?
