The first season alone is better than all of Empire's seasons after Season 1. And Empire Season 1 wasn't even all that good.

Also Star's soundtrack was superior.

I dont watch either show but I did see a lot of people talking about Star and I was shocked to see that Empire was still on.

Empire's the number two show on the network behind 911 after being their top network show for the first three years. They were more enticed to give that a proper finale than anything else.

Plus, they'll likely sell it into syndication elsewhere.

But no one watches Empire anymore. It was a fad.
But Empire has more viewers than Star so somebody lying.....If nobody watches Empire then they damn sure aren't watching Star which is why it was cancelled.

Empire wasn't renewed, they are going into the finale season and Star will become a movie so they get an ending too.

It still pulled in more viewers. Star finale had 3.43 million views to empires 4 million. And the overall season had more draw than star. And empire was that ish for so long, a dad that was EVERYWHERE and got fox VIEWS. So why not owe them for what they did for the network? Star was never that for fox.

I think the confusion comes in because STAR had more social media buzz toward the end than EMPIRE did. EMPIRE ran it's course. I think when they killed off the Rhonda and Boo Boo Kitty characters is when it started to go left.

They had a little something with the whole story line that starred Phylicia Rashad and Taye Diggs as the rival family to The Lyons (that's homage to the old school night time soaps where two families warred for power like Dynasty, Dallas and Falcon Crest) then that storyline was over, like all EMPIRE storylines are (with no natural ending) and that's where the show went to sh!t.

However, EMPIRE had too much of a cultural impact for them to cancel it without some sort of finale. Taraji and Terrance are Oscar Nominated Actors so they weren't going to let it go out like STAR where everyone on the cast except Queen Latifah and Brandy were practically newcomers.

People keep saying no one watches empire anymore, yet they have better ratings than a lot of shows on ABC, NBC, CW, and CBS. Someone is lying.

Star had good ratings in their demos too
The cancellation has to be political.
