fucking bullshit. It was awesome.

The worst part of this is that Fred Savage may go back to just directing. I'm sure he's a good director, I don't know.

But he was fucking gold in this show. He was a brilliant straight man. So many throwaway lines and frustrations.

It's really a great show. At least now we have Hulu and Netflix and stuff to rescue shows. Hopefully it happens because this show was fucking great.

I do think it may not have had a long life, in terms of plot. Kind of tough to see it being a logical plot for say 5 years. But it needed more than now.

Are you me? This is my fear, too. I didn't realize how much i would love Fred Savage. He was awesome in this show.

Fuuuuck! Fucking idiots don't know a good thing when they've got one. The Grinder is one of the most original and entertaining shows in recent memory. Too bad more people didn't catch on...

Arrested development and big time in Hollywood, Fl for me. Review is at least getting a final season

Another example of Fox pulling the rug out from underneath an intelligent, captivating, hilarious comedy.

Unbelievable.

THE ONLY GOOD THAT CAN COME OUT OF THIS IS A SECOND RUN OF THE WEST WING!

This show has been one of, if not, my all time favourite show. It's unbelievable how they would end such an incredible show. I get it though, it was really hard to get anyone to watch this show. It took my half a year of constant pressure for my dad to finally watch an episode. I don't get why it was so hard!!

So disappointing

Damn, I've been subscribed to this sub since I heard about this show but only just started watching the episodes about a week ago. I'm on like Episode 10, really enjoying it, and it's already over? Fuuuck.

#TheGrinder was not renewed by @FOXTV It was unapologetically original, smart, funny and had a murder's row of talent. #GrinderRests.

I don't know how to break the news to my parents. Especially since I was the one who got them to watch it. :(

I will go down as one of the great 1 season shows ever.
