Two-part season finale to air over the next two Mondays, and that’s it.
“Chicago Code took over for Lie to Me as Fox’s House lead-out on Mondays, but just couldn’t hold on to its audience. It premiered with a 5.7 rating/9 share on Feb. 7, but finished with a 3.4 household rating last week, according to Fast National overnights from The Nielsen Co.,” Inside Blip notes.
“In the end, Chicago Code did fare better than the now-canceled Lie to Me, but only managed to keep 75 percent of House’s audience. Not bad, but not good enough to continue based on its high production costs.”
Here’s a brief roundup:
* HitFix broke the news.
* Creator Shawn Ryan’s Twitter feed.
* “This is the really sad one among the cancellations: a good cast and some good writing, plus the Chicago atmosphere (though they said ‘Chicago’ too often),” Jaime Weinman writes for Macleans. “It was a potentially fine 10 o’clock series that had the misfortune of being on a network that doesn’t have any 10 o’clock slots.”
