Sorry, Super Grover.
Well I'm just inconsolable now.
13 seasons was a good run. It cheated death several times and FOX treated it like a red-headed stepchild. It was a great show and I know I'll miss it. I'll probably never get to be a guest voice now, and now I have no reason to watch FOX sunday nights.
So this is how the Arrested Development people feel?

And actually, FOX cancelled one of my favorite shows, The Critic, in order to make room for King of the Hill in the 1st place. FOX gave preferential treatment to King of the Hill because they made it themselves, so they would eventually be the ones to profit from syndication & video sales. The Critic was a Columbia show, so FOX had little interest in keeping it on the air.
Oh, and as to Arrested Development, I wasn't too broken up when it was cancelled because it was already clearly losing a step in Season 3, down from the unparalleled brilliance of Season 2.

I'm confused, how did they not have great ratings being (usually) sandwiched between The Simpsons and Family Guy?
As someone who tried to get into KOTH but couldn't, I'd just do something else between 8:30 and 9:00 pm--but I figured a lot of people would just watch it regardless (as did Fox I guess).
In any case, as a person who has had many beloved shows canceled on them, my condolences. Unfortunately, Fox seems to love canceling shows, it's kind of their thing.

Well, I watched all of "The Critic" and it was inferior to KotH.
But I'm surprised KotH even lasted 13 years. I would have pegged it for 10 at the most. I just hope notice this early gives them time to wrap it up as much as possible.

All shows get canceled. I'd say 12 or 13 seasons is a pretty damn good run.
Anyway, I can't stand King of the Hill, but then I'm far from the target demo. I generally just do something else for that time slot, but it seems like they can't ever find a decent show to put in there, so I don't have high hopes for the replacement either.
The Critic got off lucky, you've seen how FOX treats their own stuff.

I'm afraid I am the target demo and I did the same thing. I've heard rumors that The Cleveland Show will be on between Simpsons and American Dad.

I am mixed about this. It was a good show when it was on but God, was it awful when they had bad episodes.
It was never as brilliant as The Simpsons or South Park, but it was very enjoyable; I confess I haven't watched it in a good while.
Definitely a great run, though.
