Courteney Cox's controversial TV drama Dirt has been cancelled by network bosses at FX after just two seasons.
The second season of the show, on which Cox played a feisty tabloid editor, was shortened by the Writers Guild of America strike, and viewer figures slipped to just over one million per episode, prompting the decision to axe it.
I thought it turned out a better show than it seemed to be at first. I liked it, especially the central relationship between two loving friends, a woman and a man, neither of which would be seen as being in a "traditional" role (the woman had, you should pardon the expression, bigger balls than any male on the show, and the man was mentally ill).
It's true the second season was less satisfactory than the first, but I put that down to the strike. Ah well.
