FX to End 'Nip/Tuck' in 2011
“Nip/Tuck” will come to a close in early 2011, FX President John Landgraf said today at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
The network has picked up an additional 19 episodes, which in total will bring the series to a close at 100 installments, bolstering its odds of an afterlife in syndication.
Mr. Landgraf said production has wrapped on the final eight episodes of the fifth season, which are scheduled to air in early January 2009. Creator Ryan Murphy will stay on until the finale.
FX made several other announcements during the panel, including its order of 39 more episodes of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” The cable channel also is ordering up a new series called "Testees" for October from Kenny Hotz of “Kenny vs. Spenny” fame.
Mr. Landgraf described “Testees” as a comedy about two friends in their early 30s who act as medical guinea pigs.

'Nip/Tuck' don't do worth a crap in the ratings. It can't even beat Spongebob or the USA Dramas.

Nip/Tuck holds several basic cable ratings records. Do 5 seconds of research before you post moronic statements...
