Frank TV Cancelled

Another step forward to better Octobers - "Frank TV" has been canceled, although apparently he will keep doing bits for Fox Sports.

I think we can all rest easier during the regular season without the specter of Frank TV commercials lying in wait in October.

They'll think of some other lame show to promote.

The cancellation does not surprise me one bit. I never watched the show, but the promos made it look really awful.

Does SB have a "TV" blog?

It’s a thought.

Given that you seemingly couldn't watch any baseball games last year

Without having to see Frank’s laughable – in the bad way – Jerry Seinfeld impression, I’d say this is baseball news.

Agreed, but...

… it could have also had OT: attached to it.

I considered that

… but it seemed that the relevance was fairly apparent to Cubs fans after the additional pain and suffering inflicted by Frank Calliendo in two already difficult weeks in our lives.

No doubt about that.

I never watched the show, but it appeared from the promos that Frank Caliendo is one of the least talented individuals to ever have a TV show. And that’s saying a lot.

I watched it once

My wife expected it to be really funny.

We were stunned…STUNNED I tell you…by how awful it was. Not funny at all.

My thoughts exactly

One of the worst shows I have ever seen…and that’s not hyperbole.

life goes on...

Frank will have to live for his 3 minute spots picking football games for Fox for 20+ weeks during the NFL season. That is about all I can take of him.

What will be the new TNT show promo? My guess is that it either involves the octo-mom or Tyra Banks.

Nooooooooooooo

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

I'll only cheer if this means

Dick Stockton will never announce another game.

i agree whole-heartedly....

but it is a bit early to be thinking of october baseball, isnt it?

Oh Baby!

Oh I'm not worried about Oct yet

I just keep hoping one of these fanshots will be “Dick Stockton axed by whomever”… because he made my ears bleed worse than my heart hurt from the games themselves.

Oh happy day!

OH HAPPY DAY! OH HAPPY DAY!

That had to be the worst show in tv history not starring Jim Belushi.

At least when we get swept this season (joking)

we won’t have to watch Frank TV while we watch our team implode.

that

isn’t even anything to joke about. Not one bit humorous.

I dont care who the new owner is as long as he/she/them come equipped with a Jake Peavy and a Joe Beimel!!!

Don't worry...

Tyler Perry’s working on a new show. In case you didn’t see those other commercials for House of Payne. I mean, it is the number 1 comedy of all-time*.
