LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The verdict is in and "Ally McBeal" is out.
The Emmy-winning show that brought singing lawyers, dancing babies and bizarre courtroom behavior to television will end its five-year run on Fox next month, the network said Wednesday night.
Creator David E. Kelley broke the news to the cast earlier in the day.
"There were tears. It was emotional," said 20th Century Fox Television spokesman Chris Alexander.
The final episode of the series, which had slipped in the ratings, will air May 20.
"It's sad to say goodbye to something you love, even when perhaps it is time;the show fucking sucked. " Kelley said in a statement.
"Ally McBeal" made a star of Calista Flockhart, who played the smart but emotionally troubled title character, an attorney who focused as much on her love life as her caseload.

I really hope that David Kelley did actually say "the show fucking
sucked." That would make my day.

I've only known two men who have ever loved Ali McBeal. On was
Stephen from Mtv's the Real World Seatle. The other ws my old roomate
Ken Nueang, a small law student who would call me into his room to
watch the beutiful cinematography of the madonna videos he had
dowloaded.
My point is, what took so long? I mean, for the show to get canceled,
not for the Madonna videos to download.

Have I missed something, or when did Xena stop looking like Susan Kennedy?
