Q: Will "Gang Related" be back on this fall? I enjoyed the show.

Sadly, Fox has ended its relationship with "Gang Related." The network canceled the crime drama just a few weeks ago, shortly after its first -- and now only -- season wrapped at the end of August.

While it is unfortunate for fans, it's not particularly surprising to those who were keeping track of its ratings, which weren't great to begin with and generally got worse over the summer.

Revenge, on ABC

Late Laughs for the week of October 26 - November 1, 2014

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Jimmy Kimmel

It’s probably worth pointing out: no two hosts on “The View” have ever gotten along in the history of the show. I believe the closest anyone’s gotten to getting along was one time in 2004 when Barbara Walters sneezed and Joy Behar accidentally said “gesundheit.”
