My long national nightmare is over.
“Running Wilde”, the show that was number one on my personal hit list this year, has been pulled from the Fox schedule. Fox had previously announced that they weren’t ordering additional episodes of the show, but now they’re not even airing the remaining unaired episodes.
I actually never watched an episode of “Running Wilde”, but it provoked strong annoyance in me because of the promos. The first pilot for “Running Wilde” was deemed unusable by Fox, so they had to re-shoot. During that time, they had no clips to promote the show…so Fox’s ads for the show featured Keri “Felicity” Russell trying to behave like a normal human being, while Will Arnett mugged for the camera. “Remember me? I’m Will Arnett. I was in a show called ‘Arrested Development’. Remember ‘Arrested Development’? Wasn’t that a great show? You should watch ‘Running Wilde’ because I’m in it, and I was in ‘Arrested Development’.”
Yeah. Go away, Will.
