Damages

Damon and I were watching something when an actor that had been on the show Damages came on.
What happened to Damages?
It's a great drama about a cut-throat law firm and their multi-billion dollar suits. It stars Rose Byrne and Glenn Close. I love it!
According to the IMDB page, it's in its fourth season, which started July 13th. How is it possible that with all the programming we watch on FX that we haven't seen a single commercial and have been missing it for over a month?!?
A few more clicks and I discover that FX canceled it and it's now only available on a channel exclusive to DirecTV.
I feel personally ripped off. Hopefully I can see it later on Netflix... not the same though.
