In normal circumstances, it would be strange to celebrate a pilot not being picked up. But the last 9 months or so have not been normal at all. They've been painful, upsetting, frustrating and deeply depressing.

So, it's nice to know that sometimes things work out.

For fear of again being accused of stirring up 'bullshit' from you 'website idiots', I instead ask you to simply check out the article below and am anxious for your thoughts.

I hope to the mighty Gojira that it's true.

DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD: FOX NIXES SPACED

All this, plus I just back to a sunny London from a fantastic Tokyo trip.

It's a lovely day indeed.

I fucking LOVE it! It makes me insanely happy! It shouldn't be the best news ever because there shouldn't have been a remake to cancel in the first place - but since there was, this is, indeed, the best news ever.

I also love the fact that someone referenced your blog in a comment underneath as well.

I bloody well hope it's not just rumours.

I'm not sure what would be more exciting - McSpaced getting axed, or Fox actually getting something RIGHT for a change. Absolutely keeping my fingers crossed that it's true!

Glad you guys had fun in Japan and that you're back safe and sound. :)

^ Man, he can blame me twice if he wants. I'll take it, happily, because I know better. And I brought a brand new stack of fluffy towels. ;)

I look forward to placing the anti-McSpaced badges into the nostalgia category along with pet rocks and "Vote Perot-Stockdale" t-shirts.

I flat out WANT Green to blame us 'website idiots' for this.

Perhaps then, Messers Green and McG might learn a valuable lesson; we're the audience, the viewers. Without us, they'd be out of a job. Don't bite the hands that feed you. Because guess what? We're more than willing to bite back.

Great news.

So, working from the premise that this is true (and a wonderful thing if it is), McSpaced was cancelled DESPITE the buzz? The buzz was almost universally negative.

Sometimes I just don't get people...

Good to hear, Edgar. I'm curious if you've ever talked to Kevin Smith about his thoughts and feelings about the fabled live-action pilot of Clerks. It was shot just a couple years after the movie came out and was not picked up. He had nothing to do with the pilot, and judging by what I've heard and saw, it was more Saved By the Bell than Clerks. Even stranger, Jeff Anderson auditioned and was turned down. Yes, the original actor was turned down for the pilot.

Well, it looks like truth. I bet, producers had to compare McG's "product" with the show you made, so as a result McSpaced could just look like an odd job, plus the situation when real Spaced fans and just adequate people declared that they better neglect McSpaced than watch his pot-boiler work could (not directly) have it's weight in those circumstances. Good shows' remakes are seldom sucessfull. And, hope, never in McG's hands - I say so not because he tried to "steal" something you made with blood and sweat, but because that McG is not quite good director, imho, and the things he made look bright but they have too few inside to be charming and "hitchable" for the audience. So let's hope that even TV producers have guts and even if they want to have Spaced on American screens let them better to invite you instead of that McDirector :)))
Thanks for the news and good luck:)

When I saw the headline of this post, I was thinking, "Could it be that McSpaced has gone away?" And thank you for confirming it... that definitely is the best news ever.

I know, right? Collider's subhead to the story ("Fox pays off some karmic debt") was my favorite.

We'll really know they're seeking penance if Shaun Cassidy's new show is a success; if he finally has a show that lasts longer than a season, and it's on Fox, that's some crazy ironic shit.

This article has successfully made my year! I have never been so proud to know that fans have won over stupidity and yes that is coming from a "website idiot" because if that is what a person who cares so much for a piece of brilliance is than i will proudly don myself "website idiot" for life.

Hey Edgar

Please please let this news be true. If so it is indeed the best news ever.

You, Simon, Jess,Nick,Nira & the rest of the Spaced crew involved made an amazing show that came from the heart & will live in your fans hearts forever. None of you deserve any of the McSpaced bullshit that has happened over the past 9 months. At least now you can be sure that even though you have no rights to the show Spaced will always be the one & only. I think now it has been realised that no one could live up to remaking such a classic show.

Glad to hear your back in the UK Ed, & that you had fun in Tokyo. If your going to Cannes next week could you blog the movies you watch? Just wanna know what films ive got to look forward to later on in the year at the cinema.

Have a cool week.

Can i just add to McG & Co reading these comments from this blog (& i bet you are), show a some respect next time you want to remake someone elses work. It takes no effort what so ever. You should be taking notes from Edgar,Simon,Jess,Nick & Co. Here's hoping you've learnt a few things from the good hearted people in the business.

Proud to be 'Website idiot' here signing out......

Perhaps this is what happens when you piss off what could have been a large portion of the base audience.

Or perhaps this is what happens when you try to recreate magic in a bottle, with out the help of the magicians.

Anyway you cut it, this is amazing news.
