Cancellation and failed revival
Fox ordered seven episodes of the series; the network cancelled the show after only five episodes aired. The last two episodes that aired on Fox aired on the same night, the first airing at 7:30/6:30 CT and the second airing at its regular timeslot at 9:30/8:30 CT. The final two episodes of the series aired two years later in the U.K.
On October 10, 2007, Fox announced an animated version of the show was in development.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Of the main cast, Lizzy Caplan and Dylan Baker signed on to reprise their roles. Kellie Waymire died in 2003 and Allison Janney had been cast in her role. The part of Petey was to be played by Andy Milonakis replacing David Henrie who was already starring in Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On July 24, 2008, it was announced that the animated series had been taken out of production after a pilot had failed to impress Fox executives.
