This was the saddest news I've had in quite a while.

But it's called to mind all the things this experience has taught me, and hopefully you as well. I've learned that Twitter can really be a fun place to be. I found out that people can get behind a cause that's fun and happy and something we wouldn't be ashamed of some time in the future.

I learned that there are some very down-to-earth people in Hollywood. People who appreciate their fans. People who weren't afraid to ask for a hand. I learned that there are some very good people who were more than willing to lend that hand to some very cool folks.

I feel as though I know Ricky Blitt, Kelly Stables, Josh Lawson, Kyle Bornheimer personally now. And I know I'm not alone when I say I have an interest in their future success. Like they're part of my family now. I hope that we can all remain friends on Twitter, just like we have been.

And thank you, Alyssa Milano, for showing me that there are people in show business who actually know and acknowledge what keeps people on top in that business. I know I'm one of maybe millions of guys on and off Twitter who've had a crush on you for longer than we need to remember :) You introduced us to your fellow cast members who held the same values as you, and for that we're all grateful.

No one is perfect. The suits at ABC just proved that to us all by making a mistake and prematurely shutting down what I fully believe would have evolved into the next great television comedy. The talent that was behind this show was just too great for it not to be.

Take a bow, Ms Milano, Ms Stables, Mr Lawson, Mr Bornheimer and Mr Blitt. Thanks for a lot of fun.

Josh Lawson

Originally from Australia, Josh Lawson is probably best known for his returning guest appearances on that country's improvised hit TV comedy, Thank God You're Here. He was also the co-host of Wipeout Australia, which was based on ABC's reality game show of the same name, and was a series regular in Chandon Pictures.

A recipient of The Mike Walsh Fellowship in 2004, Lawson has a long history of performing and comedy improvisation. He appeared in the finals of the Cranston Cup, Australia's most illustrious Theatresports competition -- featuring top improvisers -- more than five times since 1999, and has won it twice in that time. His own critically acclaimed improvised comedy show, "160 Characters," has toured internationally and is a hit at major comedy festivals.

In addition to several television series roles in Australia, Lawson's film work includes BoyTown and the upcoming Australian release Kin. From the U.S., he will star in the independent film, Crave, as a troubled photographer whose dangerous visions begin to destroy his relationship with a beautiful young woman. He will also star in the upcoming comedy Freeloaders as one of the slackers who is living for free in a rock star's mansion.*
