FOX originally cancelled Breaking In, a decent comedy starring Christian Slater and Bret Harrison, following the 2010-2011 season, but then decided to bring it back at the last minute.  Due to the timing of the renewal, some changes had to be made, and none of them were for the better.  Michael Rosenbaum was out completely and Odette Annable, who had snagged a role on House, only came back for two episodes before being written out.  In their place, the always annoying Megan Mullally was brought in, which totally changed the tone of the show, again not for the better. The one good addition for season 2 was Erin Richards, as Mullally’s assistant, who gave the show a brief ray of sunshine.

Only 5 of the 13 episodes filmed for season 2 have been aired to this point, and there is no word if or when the remaining 8 episodes will see the light of day.  I have no idea why FOX even bothered to bring the show back if it was going to be handled in this way.
