BONEHEADS AT FOX CANCEL BEST SHOW OF THE SEASON!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WE HAVE YOUR BACK SHAWN. THEY EITHER BRING BACK YOUR SHOW OR WE TARGET ALL THEIR ADVERTISERS AND THEIR BUSINESSES!!

Making room for new shows, Fox on Tuesday gave pink slips to five series, including the dramas Lie to Me which lasted for three seasons, and Human Target which lasted for two.

The other three shows to be canceled had been introduced midway through the current television season: The Chicago Code a cop drama; Breaking In a comedy starring Christian Slater; and Traffic Light a comedy that was adapted from an Israeli series.

Answering questions from disappointed fans on Twitter, Shawn Ryan, the executive producer of “The Chicago Code,” said he would try to shop his show to other networks, “but that’s a long shot.”

At the same time it was canceling existing shows, Fox was reportedly ordering two new sitcoms (“The New Girl,” starring Zooey Deschanel, and “I Hate My Teenage Daughter,” starring Jaime Pressly) and two new dramas (“Alcatraz,” from the “Lost” mastermind J.J. Abrams, and “The Finder,” a spin-off of “Bones”).

The network also announced that it had ordered an eighth season of “House,” the popular drama starring Hugh Laurie, after a lengthy negotiation with the show’s owner, NBCUniversal.
