and don't come back

HBO cancelled the Lisa Kudrow vehicle The Comeback, a show so uncomfortably disengaging in its straightforward disdain for celebrity that it actually made Larry David wince. I don’t understand the cancellation, though. This is an organization that kept Arliss on the air for more years than I can remember. The Comeback, despite its kick-to-the-throat sensitivities, at least had some critical word of mouth behind it.

Hell, Carnivale got two seasons.
