https://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/fox-cancels-empire-due-to-ratings-plummet-following-jussie-smollet-case
After this final season Fox has decided not to continue the series Empire as its ratings have fallen drastically due to the hoax perpetrated by Jussie Smollett, who has already been written off the show. Even though the charges against Smollett were dropped and he insists that he is innocent there is currently no plans to bring him back to the show, and that is not expected to change. --- Que sera, sera.

I've never watched it, but I'm glad it can get an ending this way. I think that any show that's been around for at least five seasons deserves an ending.

Best time to get out then. The producers kept declining to finally say if he was off the show for good and I think that helped drive viewers away. I believe that if they had just come out and said "Yes, he's off the show," ratings wouldn't have dropped so quickly

Woot! One less annoying commercial for me to sit through! Now if only I could get rid of those danged interactive ads...
Also, if you're gonna do that 'targeted ads' thing can you PLEASE put up ads for stuff I might actually watch as opposed to random junk and birth control pills? I'm not a woman! Why are you trying to sell me birth control? Oh. And, ummm... sorry if you liked the show I guess?

The problem with U.S. television is quality and viewership don't mean nearly as much as advertising revenue as to why a show survives or dies. If they get sponsors to ante up piles of money a really bad show survives or a really good show dies for lack of it. This is where the Brits got it right with the BBC, quality wins over advertising.

Kyuubi4269 posted...SunWuKung420 posted...Kyuubi, do you know how female oral contraceptives work? Not to mention some of them are the ones you insert under the skin. For the record, oral ones typically alter the bodies hormones so that the woman no longer ovulates. This means it's pretty ineffective in regards to actually stopping the sperm; just making it so that there's no egg for them to impregnate. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage ...
