    If that kiss with Jennifer Aniston was any indication, I can't imagine why they would cancel such an incredible show.

    Dirt was one of my three favorite shows on television (with Entourage and HIMYM).  God forbid they let it build an audience.

Cox Comes Clean: No More "Dirt"
TV with MeeVee — Courteney Cox told people at a charity event this weekend that FX has just canceled "Dirt," her drama about a ruthless Hollywood tabloid editor and the celebs and coworkers in her cutthroat orbit. The first season was not that well received, despite a nifto performance by Ian Hart as a photog with serious psychological issues.

Courteney Cox: Dirt Got Dumped
Just Jared — Courteney Cox Arquette just revealed that her FX series, Dirt , will not be renewed for a third season. It got the axe!“It just got canceled,” Cox told TV Guide yesterday at a charity event in Los Angeles. (Season 2 was cut short by the WGA strike.)

We don’t know about you, but the most surprising ... [Au Revoir Coquette]
Gawker: defamer — We don’t know about you, but the most surprising thing about hearing Courteney Cox’s FX show Dirt is being canceled was learning that it was still on the air. Sure, we recall the industry anticipation about yet another Friend comeback, the mildly intriguing pilot in which a cokehead actress overdoses in a bathtub, and then there was all that hullabaloo about the big lesbian makeout scene between Cox and Jennifer Aniston. But after getting all excited and finally watching the lukewarm peck, we gave up on the patchy attempt at nailing the current clusterfuck that is tabloid journalism these days. But as Cox told TV Guide at a benefit last night, the gig is up for ...

Cinema Blend Television — Courtney Cox Won't Be Digging Up More Dirt The scoop on Dirt isn’t good. The Courtney Cox series about a tabloid magazine editor has just been canceled by FX.

However, she’s not too worried about finding more work. (As if she needs the money!!) “We’re developing all kinds of stuff right now,” she said of her husband and producing partner David Arquette. “We’ll be producing more stuff together, for sure.” A hint at a baby on the way perhaps?

That Fictional Tabloid Gossip Show Got Canceled
Jossip — When word arrived from the television network FX that they were moving forward with Courteney Cox gossip vehicle Dirt, our hearts pitter-pattered as tidbits began to emerge, like Cox basing her cutthroat tabloid editor character on Bonnie Fuller, and how sex tapes would play an important part of the plotline. (Sextapes. Remember those?) Then the show actually appeared on our TV sets and, well, “disappointment” was the only way to describe the mess that we saw. But somehow, FX still had faith. Despite lackluster ratings (even Jennifer Aniston couldn’t help) and the cold shoulder from critics, they ordered a second season of ...

"Dirt" to Take, Well, Dirt Nap
Televisionary — [image] Sorry, Dirt fans, it's do or die time and it looks like it's more of the latter and less of the former. According to TV Guide , cabler FX has axed soapy tabloid drama Dirt starring Courteney Cox Arquette. "It just got canceled," Cox Arquette told TV Guide when asked about the possibility of a third season renewal for the series, which starred Cox Arquette, Ian Hart, Josh Stewart, and Alex Breckenridge. The news is hardly shocking. After okay numbers the first season, Dirt was renewed for a sophomore season... which was itself cut short (from thirteen segments to just seven) in light of the writers strike. (Ratings for the truncated second season of Dirt , which ...

Courteney Cox confirms that FX show “Dirt” is canceled
Cele|bitchy — Courteney Cox confirmed at a charity event on Sunday that her FX show Dirt has been canceled and has not been picked up for a third season. I was surprised that it had a second season, because it was poorly reviewed and even a much talked about on-screen kiss at the end of the first season, between Cox’s character, tabloid editor Lucy Spiller, and a rival editor played by Jennifer Aniston couldn’t manage to boost ratings. Cox and her husband, David Arquette, produced the series together and she says they have plenty of projects in the works for the future: Courteney Cox Arquette, akin to her Dirt alter ego, offered up some scoop at Sunday’s ...

Six Feet Under
Litely Salted — Six Feet Under: A euphemism for death, which comes from the practice of digging down six feet into the earth to bury coffins. "Dirt" is dead. Courteney Cox's FX series about the editor of a weekly celebrity magazine has been canceled after two seasons; the second having been cut short by WGA strike. Cox, however, seemed optimistic about the future. She and hubby David, with whom she produced Dirt, have their own shingle, and as such, "We’re developing all kinds of stuff right now," she said. "We'll producing more stuff together, for sure." (Source) I think the real problem with "Dirt" was that the ...

FX Sweeps ‘Dirt’ to the Curb
Comedy Centric — Bad news here, Dirt and Courteney Cox fans. Basic-cable network FX has decided not to renew the tabloid dramedy for a third season. Star Cox broke the recent development to TV Guide yesterday, revealing that she and her husband David Arquette, coproducers of the series, still plan to carry on with other projects. Good for them. I can understand why the network ditched the series — it’s the ratings, folks — but I also think the show was still in need of a little more time to discover itself and decide where it was going after a strike-shortened sophomore season. So long. ...

The show, which she co-produced with hubby David Arquette, only made it through one entire season. Season 2 was cut short by the writer’s strike.

Here’s a tip to the not-so-dynamic duo: stop trying to cast Courteney ...

Question time: 'Monk,' 'Damages,' 'Heroes' and more
The Watcher — You have questions about your favorite TV shows; I may have answers: Jenna: Any idea what will happen on “Monk” after the death of Stanley Kamel [who played the detective’s psychiatrist]? Obviously, his character is very important to Monk’s life. Mo sez: Indeed. When Adrian Monk returns to USA Network on July 18 (along with “Psych”), his new therapist will be played by noted character actor Hector Elizondo (most recently seen in CBS’ canceled soap “Cane”). By the way, when “Psych” returns, Shawn’s long-absent mother will be played by Cybill Shepherd. Greg: I can’t seem to find anything on the Web about the status of “Heroes” ...
