If I were a television show, how long would it be until I were cancelled? I admit, not something to which I’d given much thought, but the quiz was there, so why now? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nYour tale is a tragic one indeed. You started off as a bit of a gamble, a new show with a little bit of a pricy budget, but lots of grand ideas. And against all odds, not only did you manage to snatch up devoted fans attracted to your new ideas and ways, but you also managed to secure critical attention. Although the ratings weren’t quite up to expectations, FOX kept you alive hoping that your achievements were indicators of your true potential. So you lived on, and you fought harder and harder each day to realize that potential. But it never did come. FOX renews you for a third season as a last opportunity, but it fails to yield results, and your struggle comes to a sad end halfway through the third season.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
