Default New Fox Series Lone Star Probably on Death Bed *CANCELLED*

Is anybody else watching this? It's the show that comes on after House. I normally don't watch TV but this is the first TV series that I've been interested in for years.

Unfortunately, it seems the ratings are absolutely attrocious even though the show was critically acclaimed by preview critics, it seems the general public doesn't take to it or doesn't know it exists even though it followed House. It's also scheduled against Dancing with the Stars which is pretty much a no-win.

I think this show is amazing, it reminds me of all those Hollywood heist and con game movies basically and it has star power in Jon Voight. Unfortunately it's a FOX show and we know how trigger happy FOX is when great television doesn't get up to their standards.

I still think the Nielsen ratings system is horribly inaccurate but the show has something like only 3-4 million viewers a night which is terrible for a show that follows House. Fox used to control Monday nights with House and 24. I'll be really depressed if this show gets canceled. That teaches me for starting to watch TV again.
