Fox cancels 'The Simple Life'

NEW YORK (AP) -- "The Simple Life" is over - at least on Fox. The network said Wednesday it has canceled the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie reality series after the show's two stars no longer proved compatible.

The feuding ex-friends will not return for a fourth season, even though the network had picked up the options on their contracts.

Fox said its midseason schedule didn't have a time slot for the show.

"We did not see a place for `The Simple Life' on our schedule this season," the network said in a statement.

I know many of you felt this was the highlight of smart, sophisticated eclectic television viewing this week.

11. It was on for 3 seasons?
I heard of "Simple Life 2" but thought they axed it in the middle of that season.

12. They cancelled the best argument FOR the Estate Tax.
Hrm...maybe people were watching and realized that uber-priveledged herisses like Paris and Nicole needed to actually understand what real work was actually about. (who am I kidding? These are Fox viewers)

I caught 5 minutes of that insipid show in it's first season, and if I had a gun, I would have shot my tv. I had to leave the room. (My roommate insisted on watching the show.)
