FAN REACTION

On X, formerly Twitter, fans were sad to hear the news of the cancellation.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” wrote one.

A second said: “Damn!”

“It is a shame. This show was smart and funny,” someone tweeted.

“Fox seemed obligated and determined to keep it separate and excluded from its other animated programs. I mean, on Monday nights in the middle of summer?

“What did they think would happen with this? If they had kept the program at 8:30 on Sunday, it would have been a success.”

“[Fox] don’t do what you normally do when people love a show and cancel it. In fact, listen to the viewers and add a new season before the entire cast moves on with their lives and that’s no longer possible.

“How come you never learn???”

“I am waiting!” a third exclaimed.
