How About a Little Notice?!
Source: Fox
When the May 6, 1997 season finale aired — which would end up being the last episode — executives at Fox didn’t know if they would cancel the show. They finally decided they would, but didn’t tell the cast of their decision right away. Ed O’Neill was on vacation and overheard a couple at a table next to him discussing the cancellation. He reportedly paid for their meal and thanked them for letting him know.
