Geez! Interesting. So, despite the suspiciously sudden cancellation of Once (it particularly sticks out to me that in one interview, Dungey said she was "cautiously optimistic" and the decision would be made after they heard Adam & Eddy's pitch for Season 8, while later we found out that Adam & Eddy never made that pitch), they clearly want Adam and Eddy around. I wonder if Once was just canceled to make room for a new show that they have high hopes for?
