for the cancellation... the show had to find an audience and it couldn't. I believe 30 Rock originally followed Community this season and then The Office. I guess they lost viewers after 9:30 and plugged the unsuccessful shows, Parks and Recreation, Perfect Couple and Outsource in between the shows that were doing well. Had they made that arrangement in September the show may have done better. Too little to late. I saw the finale because I read here Bignick was a writer on the show. And that is the only reason I watched it.
