Will 'Lethal Weapon' run out of chances after Damon Wayan's exit?
'Lethal Weapon' is gearing up for another generous dose of drama. After Damon Wayans' shock announcement on Wednesday, 'Lethal Weapon' is surrounded by a cloud of doubt once again. The show lost a lead just last season in the form of Clayne Crawford who played Martin Riggs leaving a lot of room for a possible downfall. What followed was an ugly mess of a very public feud on Twitter. The fandom took sides and some even threatened to boycott the show after Riggs was cut out. In spite of it all, it returned for a season 3.
The show survived against of the odds and even managed to flourish. Although a lot of credit does go to the new face on the show, Seann William Scott, it also had a lot to do with the original element of the show, Damon Wayans himself. 'Lethal Weapon' opened with a steep rise in ratings scoring a 59% increase in the 18-49 demographic and upped its views from 0.8 million to 1.3 million. Overall, the premiere had 3.4 million views which is a much higher number than last season's finale featuring Clayne Crawford.
