Supposed to star Phil LaMarr, Jane Lynch, Will Sasso, and Chi McBride. The reason: "Fox president Kevin Reilly canceled Murder Police after viewing early cuts and reading upcoming scripts he deemed unworthy of joining the Fox programming block"

Yeah, what a lousy lead. Tony Shalhoub is only an eight-time Emmy nominee and five time Golden Globe nominee. All he's ever done is be the lead actor on one of the most successful cable dramas of all-time, which paved the way for other cable networks to try their hand at original programming. Which is where almost every great television series today comes from. | AWArulz

Yeah, but was a drama and few people are going to see him as anyone bt Monk for a while. You might recall how well Jason Alexander has done since Sienfeld

He'll only ever be Antonio Scarpacci to me. It's still weird when I hear him speak without an accent. (note: I have never seen an entire episode of Monk.) | It's False

And ratings bomb, while we're at it. It hasn't exactly been lighting anybody's world on fire and I can't possibly imagine it's going to get picked up for a second season. If anything, it's actively dragging down Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but at least that's getting picked up, too. And with a primo post-Super Bowl slot, no less!
Also, say goodbye to Welcome to the Family, while we're here. The upshot here for many is that this is going to bring Community back sooner.

WTTF was a genuinely good show but thanks to absolutely no promotion and putting it on an already loaded night, NBC just canned it without even trying.
It's like NBC is just TRYING to fail.
I was looking forward to Dracula but now I'm not even going to bother considering NBC will probably can it a week later any way. | lotjx
