PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Fox TV has announced the May endings of its veteran comedies "That '70s Show" and "Malcolm in the Middle."

Both shows have become more expensive to produce and "That '70s Show" lost its top stars, Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace, USA Today reported Tuesday.

Fox Programming head Peter Liguori told TV critics assembled in Pasadena, Calif., Tuesday the network has decided to pull the plug rather than see the shows "crawl to their endings."

The "Malcolm" finale will air May 14 while "That '70s Show" will bid viewers farewell with its 200th episode May 18.

Topics: Ashton Kutcher, Peter Liguori, Topher Grace
