I know this old news to most of you, but I only found out he was fired, yesterday.
While I was what I will begrudgingly admit, a fan, I never really expected the t. v. version to be as good as even the lesser of the first two films and of course wasn't disappointed in my low expectations.
Though I was surprised. Even after tedious episode upon episode that repeatedly adhered to the contemporary Hollywood agenda of degenerating at least one of its male characters (in this case, Roger Murtaugh) into such an emasculated shell of a man he should have worn a dress in every episode, I watched because of the dynamic between Wayans and Crawford.
Finally I got to the point were it was just too much to absorb the aforementioned ridicule along with having to believe that an L. A. detective would ever accept being such a browbeaten shlub by not only his wife, but his daughter as well and stopped watching.
Well, when I finally did tune back in and got one look at Wayans new co-star, I didn't ask why, didn't care to make any investigation, I just turned off the show and never watched it again.
Now I know.

What imbeciles! Riggs IS the Lethal Weapon part of the team. Lethal Weapon without the character Riggs is like JAWS without a shark, Knight Rider without KITT, Rambo without. RAMBO! ArTards! Who the hell got paid for this season 3 absolute nonsense.
Even if some other organisation takes the show on, they may do:
1. Season 4, do a far fetched Dallas: Roger wakes up and realizes that it was all a dream. Riggs is OK.
2. Write off Season 3 as a complete failure (re-title it as something unrelated. Then make the real Season 3!

I actually didn't know Crawford was fired and thought it was just part of the series. To be honest, I actually prefer this version instead because his death was ironic. After his wife's death, he only wanted to die, but when he finally wanted to live, he was killed. This is one of the only tv shows I've seen in awhile that don't just keep the cast members alive to rake in more money. Although I'm just disappointed that a lot of co-stars were killed off too and I never got to see them again (e. g.; Molly, or that gang member cartel police guy.

Well, of course, its weird as hell to lose the main protagonist of a serie yet, personally, I think the whole I lost my wife boohoo syndrome got old very fast and since it didnt appear they would move past that with the development of Riggs, Im kinda glad hes gone. The only problem is that they replaced him with another I lost my wife cause Im a bad husband/dad overskilled ex-CIA agent and I lost a lil kid while on mission boohoo character. Nothing against Scott, but they sure didnt go far to make a new protagonist.

Firing him off the show I could argue would be similar to Heath ledger dieing, I say this because Crawford took his character so well in seriousness and happened to be mean to some people he's staying in character, Heath ledger literally died to make the best of joker of all time, actors or actresses this good should stay in the role, but unfortunately the feelings getting hurt is a political statute that people getting there feelings hurt over quality and yeah I mean liberals they stopped it for sure

I have an idea. Have Martin wake up from a coma telling about the horrible nightmare he saw while he was out (season 3. And here's the start of season 4. Episode 1. In the first 5 minutes mediocre roger dies from a heart attack (problem solved. Episode 2. Duane Johnson sounds like a very good replacement for whatever it was that was lost in Episode 1. Things should be good from there on

Watched it when it was on, I was wondering why he was not in the new epi's, but I never truly got into the show. Damon did not capture Glover and Clayne did not capture Gibson. How could they the films are iconic. Seems like Clayne was trying to method act (which actors do) and took being in his role a bit further than some of the cast were willing to tolerate.

Wayans ruined this show. Was a great show. Made for some good TV. I once had to work with a guy I didn't like for almost 6 years. But we kept our heads down and worked together because that's what grownups do. Wayans, like alot of these actors and athletes are overpaid and think way too highly of themselves. Hated to see this show go though. Was a good one.

Mostly none of this is true. Damon Wayans was the real problem. He created situations that put Clayne in the crosshairs because Damon really wanted out of the show, but didn't want it to look like he made it happen. You never knew which Wayans you were going to encounter day by day. I have a friend who was a series regular on that show who can vouch.
