The Riches - Anyone sad to see it go?

FX has spoken and The Riches are cancelled.

Now while I was faithfully watching The Riches on FX, I'm not sure that I would say I was enjoying it. The show was very dark and the plot was starting to spin off in odd directions. My favorite part of the show was the cast - I am a HUGE Eddie Izzard fan but I also thought Minnie Driver was very good. The show's overarching premise just seemed to run out of the gas - there really was no way they could keep pulling such an elaborate con.

Clearly not too many people were watching this show but does anyone out there care to stick up for it and mourn its demise?

Of course. It's rotten. There are a variety of sites protesting this. Check out CakeorDeath.com. I left a message with FX that I don't plan to watch anything they have to offer if this is how they treat their audience.

I can't find that CakeorDeath site - do you have a more direct link? Unfortunately, I'm a huge Rescue Me fan so I can't boycott FX entirely - although I don't watch Sons of Anarchy or Damages so I can call it a partial boycott!
