Ed Araquel/FOX
Bad news for fans hoping to save Running Wilde: Fox confirmed with EW that they are not ordering a back nine of the Keri Russell-Will Arnett series. Though the freshman comedy has not been officially canceled, the network’s decision to not order additional episodes is concerning — this could mean Wilde might be running off the air sometime soon. The show had been suffering in the ratings: Two weeks ago, the series attracted just 2.9 million viewers. (That number, however, came with some silver lining: It was an 18 percent increase from the week prior.) Fox also decided to bench the series for November sweeps.

‘Running Wilde’: Did you watch it? Are you sad it’s not ‘Arrested Development’?
I liked this show. Guess I was the only one!
Also, it was much better than the crass, trashy Raising Hope. At least now I don’t have to wait for Raising Hope to end between Glee and Running Wilde.
I hope this allows Kerri Russell to play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie
Keri is too old to play Lois Lane. Get with it.
I don’t see why you have to trash one show when yours gets canceled. That’s a little tacky and immature.
… because RH is RW’s timeslot companion, THAT’S why, you stupid b!tch.
Good Lord. Can’t anybody be civil anymore?
I WANTED to like this show, because I LOVE Kerry Russell, and the idea of her doing a sitcom sounded great to me. But I’ve given the show a fair chance, and I’ve been disappointed. It does have some very funny moments, but there’s a wierd sense of the 4 or 5 characters living in near-total isolation on the grounds of the mansion that’s almost claustrophobic. Maybe I’ve missed episodes in which they appear elsewhere, but there’s some sort of deadening feeling to the show–can’t put my finger on it. And Will Arnett is annoying more often than not. Overall, a good try, but it misses the mark for me. It especially suffers in the shadow of “Raising Hope”, which is simply a superior comedy.
Sorry, I misspelled Keri Russell!
Agreed.
I liked this show too. It was odd and surreal at times, but actually quite funny. And I thought they were starting to find their stride – the pilot was hilarious, then it was a bit uneven, but it was getting really good again. SAD.
TOROBUITRE808 on March 29, 2011 @preslaude that number lsuohd be reversed. I seriously doubt 90% of people who fall on hard times are thieves who set out to defraud someone. Many people fell on hard times even those who were responsible with their money. Not that matters if you are, because in our banking system, no matter how responsible people are, the way the banking system is set up guarantees that some people will default or be foreclosed on. That’s just how it’s set up.
Posted on This unique blog site will lpboabry be compelling additionally factual. I have observed lots of fascinating guidelines out of it. I’d desire to go back over and over again. Many thanks!
Dang, I liked this show it was starting to get better.
Not exactly a compliment…
Kathy:Just bring them to New Pieces. We will be cltlecoing quilts for months, perhaps a couple years, as long as the need continues. Save yourself the postage and bring them when you visit. You’ll love New Pieces, too. If you are interested in more local quilt stores, send me email and I can give you my favorites to visit while you are here!Gail
Will Arnett is too good for this dreck. I’m glad they’re putting him out of his misery.
I say 30 Rock should bring him back as a regular. He was hilarious as Jack’s fake-tan, in-the-closet foil. His best role outside of AD.
I agree!! I said this a couple weeks ago, even said that Will Arnett would be great as the new boss on The Office!
Agreed. I tried to like this show b/c of Will, but it is not good.
Will Arnett is very talented and often very funny, but he’s not a sitcom lead. His character in this show was too silly to care about. For that matter, Keri Russell was basically wasted in it. Her character is basically a blank who’s supposed to be appealing because we like the actress-not because of anything actually written in the show.
I liked Running Wilde in the beginning(also Raising Hope) but I got bored with Running during the last week’s episode so I stopped watching. The same with Raising, I got bored and stopped watching. They were funny in the beginning, but now they don’t interest me!
Running Wilde stunk from day one. It paled in comparison to Raising Hope. Good riddance.
Raising Hope is a show made by white trash for white trash. Guess that says something about you and your low-class taste.

Give it a rest, you don’t like Raising Hope, we get it,
Your comments about other posters says more about the type of person you are than they are.
Different shows for different people, you like one, you don’t like the other, move on dude and stop insult others for a show they like
I would rather be called white trash than admit to liking a piece of crap like Running Wilde.
Wow! Who knew that Will Arnett was an internet troll?!
Geez Flip
give it a rest
your lack of self esteem is showing
I so wanted to like this show. I watched the first 4 episodes and I just couldn’t do it. Love Will Arnett; Love Kerri Russell, but do not love them together.
Darn, it was actually getting good.
The only person who thinks Will Arnett is funny is Will Arnett.
Thank God for the end of this televised vanity trip.
I’m sure you know that’s blatantly untrue. I usually find Will Arnett hilarious, and I enjoyed “Running Wilde”. I’ll definitely miss it!
Really? Have you ever watched Arrested Development b/c Will is hilarious on that show.
Yes, as he he is equally brilliant in RW
farhanthebeastboy on April 22, 2011 i have a ghsilt problemafter i hold down the tv button and the 4 lights light up, then i press the power button and did the same exact thing you didbut when i press the up button for the code, it automatically switches to satellite and changes the channels, please help
clonedstarman on January 21, 2008 (gulps) Sorry Miko I didn’t mean to. Please fgivroe me. I didn’t mean to seal your comment like that. SORRY!!!!!!!
Damn it!!!
Raising Hope and Running Wilde are both boring. I gave up on Raising Hope after the first couple of episodes. Only saw a few minutes of a couple Running Wilde episodes and that was enough.
What do you have, the attention span of a gnat?
i love this show
horrible news
Biggest disapointment of the season (well, second after “Lone Star” getting axed). I remember how hot EW was for this in the spring, seemed so perfect with Arnet, Russell and the creators of “Arrest Development” but was just so unfunny so glad to see it gone.

I tried. The daughter just didn’t seem to fit into the story, and she really wasn’t funny. After a few episodes, her voice-overs irked me a little too much.
Keri Russell and Arnett need to come back to television, I don’t think I can stand more “Let’s Go to Prison” or “August Rush”.
Waitress was good.
I did enjoy Waitress. But I also immensely enjoyed Felicity.
kumsrasao on September 4, 2011 I love that Wimsyboo Baby was founded by a WAHM, Jenny. It’s so nice to see a quality product made by real people like us. Proceeds benefit real people like us, instead of big corporation.
