"We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell," they added.
The staffer added, "The show was moved around so much and it looked pretty bleak early in the season, but when we got back on Wednesday nights, it seemed like it might all work out and we could swing higher ratings.
"Everyone has been on pins and needles since this summer, so in some ways, it is a relief, even though we will all be out of work. It's been a stressful year and executives were mishandling the show." (ANI)
