The Touching* Farewell Montage That Hank Deserves**

As you may have heard earlier this week, Kelsey Grammer's most recent sitcom, Hank, has been canceled. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!*** But yes. Hank was a flower that flew too close to the sun, or whatever****. So thank you to SlapClap for making this moving and important tribute*****.

What is this world coming to?****** First 9/11 and now this*******. Based on this description of a recent episode from the official website, I don't even understand how this is possible********!

Hank has had it with Tilly's annoying habit of saying "got it, got it, got it," but is afraid to discuss the issue directly with her, so he recruits his ever-so-subtle brother-in-law, Grady, to approach her about the problem.

Canceled?! ABC was just like let's throw all this gold********* away, we don't want it! Goodbye, Hank, you will be missed**********!

Footnotes after the jump.

Sarah McLachlan scored montages had been ruined for me ever since that abused dogs commercial. Thanks, Sarah. How am I supposed to come to peace with Hank being canceled now?

That ASPCA commercial with Sarah just makes me LOSE IT. Abused animals? Gorgeous voice? Are you trying to make me cry, TV?

I just voted that video five youtube stars out of five. Never have the delicate tones of Sarah McLachlan's "Song that people play at junior high graduation ceremonies" touched me so deeply.

At least we had the opportunity to experience the genius that is Hank before 2012 kills us all and stuff.

I'm really surprised you liked that show, Gabe. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were being sarcastic.

I blame soft Gabe and Glee. Middle America isn't going to watch Kelsey Grammer sitcoms and us blue states are too busy watching Glee. So no one watched Hank.

Please let my eyes go back to a time before they saw :58 to 1:08. This image is going to be seared into my brain until I inevitably die on a plane trying to escape 2012.

If I'm interpreting your Mayan pyramid of footnotes correctly, Kelsey Grammer's career will be come to an end by the year 2012.

When one door closes, another one opens!
This now affords him the chance to star in his own reality show about his new life living in a rural Midwest town, tentatively titled "Country Grammer"

Top 3 Kelsey Grammer roles:
1. Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons
2. Tom Dodge from Down Periscope
3. Beast from X men*

I actually watched Hank. The laugh track they used for it was the most insulting thing ever. It was so was bad that it was good and I kept coming back every week for more. You guys really missed out on hate watching a masterpiece of shit.

Kelsey Grammer's had the career that Phil Hartman should have had. Except for the cancellation part and the cocaine addiction part. And the Frasier part. OK, really I just miss Phil Hartman.

Well, after a long running successful sitcom it is not easy to find a new vehicle for a person of Kelsey's talents. Just look at Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She waded through a lot of poop before she found gold in that show she has now that I never watch but she’s won an award for. And I know it's been awhile since Cheers but I have faith that Mr. Grammer will land on his feet.
