Although she tried hard to set aside her nice girl persona, fans apparently had a tough time accepting Courteney Cox Arquette as a badass. Either that, or they simply didn’t like her show.

After only 2 years on air (1.5 if you take the writers’ strike into account), Arquette’s Dirt has been yanked from the FX network. Interestingly enough, this is about the same length of time Matt LeBlanc’s Joey managed to stay on air. The drama also hung around longer than Matthew Perry’s Studio 60 and Lisa Kudrow’s The Comeback.

Despite earning 3.7 million viewers for its January 2007 debut, the program eventually experienced a dramatic decline. By April, Dirt‘s second season finale was down to 1.06 million. I guess that kiss with gal pal Aniston didn’t have much lasting power.

According to TV Guide, this setback hasn’t discouraged Cox Arquette’s entrepreneurial spirit. The actress claims she and her hubby, David Arquette, still have other projects in store. Maybe the couple should get working on a Friends reunion. It sure seems like a few cast members could use the gig.
