Axed: Til Death
While the ratings were never in Til Death's favour, it seems the economics were.

Was it even still on? And more to the point: why?
It’s the end for US sitcom Til Death.
While the ratings were never in Til Death‘s favour, but the economics were.
With more than 80 episodes produced it was close enough for an off-network syndication sale.
Brad Garrett confirmed the news to Zap2It:
“The other night, we got an 0.8 [rating],” Garrett reports in his famously deep voice. “Once your mom stops watching, you’re an 0.4. The network said, ‘What do you suggest?’ I said, ‘If you give me one more month, I can take you to a zero.’ And there was dead silence.”

Brad Garrett was brilliant in Everybody Loves Raymond, but ‘Til Death was an absolutely horrible show.
I cannot believe that it lasted 4 seasons.
King of Queens should have been axed after 1 or 2 seasons. It’s now time for “2 & half Men” to be axed & pinkslipped asap!. Everyone Loves Raymond should have also been axed after 2 or 3 seasons, not after 10!!.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I watched one episode of this show with my wife. We both agreed it was really terrible.
The female lead was truely dire.
King of Queens ended like 2-3 years ago in the US.
I didn’t mind the show, no worse than others out there like 2.5 Men.
whatever happened to king of queens?? That was a hell of a lot better then Til Death
What did they expect when they abandoned the whole premise of an already sub-par comedy after the first season? It was supposed to be about a newly married couple vs. an older married couple, and then they removed one of the families entirely!
I have to say the first season was passable… But it just turned to crap very quickly after that… This hardly devestating.
Incredibly unfunny show and shouldn’t have gotten past the first few eps.
I’m astounded that this was still running.
I couldn’t agree more with your opening line, David.
About Time!!
Why wasn’t this really poor excuse of a comedy axed after the first ep?!!!!!
I actually liked the first series. After Eddie Kaye Thomas was put in the background, and some random black guy brought to the front, it got random, stupid, and became the Brad Garrett Show. It should have stayed with the series 1 format, which was starting to die near the end, but was watchable. Still surprised this got the green light, when the ‘War at Home” was dumped.
Euthanased might be a more appropriate term.
There were 80 episodes of this?
