At this point, I’m just hoping that Lethal Weapon has enough steam for Fox to order a fourth season.
For me, Cole has proved that he could carry the show if necessary, and Lethal Weapon’s ensemble is packed with characters capable of stepping up.
If Damon Wayans would be open to the occasional cameo or guest appearance, writing him out as a regular via a lecturing job for Murtaugh could be the most painless way to handle the whole situation.
