Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted August 1, 2003 from IMDB.com Corbett Loses His Luck My Big Fat Greek Wedding star John Corbett's good fortune has run out - his new critically acclaimed show Lucky has been canceled by TV network bosses. Executives at cable network FX have reluctantly decided against renewing the show for a second season - despite it picking up an Emmy nomination for outstanding comedy writing. Ratings for the show, which centered on a compulsive gambler trying to ditch his addiction while still surrounding himself with temptations, drew a modest 2.5 million viewers when it premiered in April. By the fourth week, the series had lost more than half its audience, shrinking even more in June. The final segment of the 13-episode season was screened on July 1. ------------------------- I didn't want to watch the show at first, but after I caught it in re-runs I started to like it. Too bad.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I think there was a lot they could have done with the show. And (even thought there's no chance of it happening) I think it would be funny if it actually won the emmy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I never saw the show... but what does FX think they can put on that will immediatly draw better? A channel like FX needs to just let shows stay on for a few years to gain a footing...not cancel everything right away like NBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 1, 2003 well since THE SHIELD went and become an Soprano level hit... Can't blame them for thinking LUCKY would do the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vyce Report post Posted August 1, 2003 Hopefully this will mean more Nip / Tuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted August 1, 2003 I'm 50/50 on Nip/Tuck, which was more then what I was before it debuted. Seems like FX is just trying to create "edgy" shows now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2003 I didn't really like Lucky in the beggining at all. But as I saw the replays I started to like it. Too bad it was canned but I think the Shield is MUCH MUCH better. I also think The Shield is better than Nip/Tuck(I don't like Ni/Tuck that much...its alright) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
