When
TV
show
"The
Crazy
Ones" was
cancelled
after
one
season,
the
late
Robin
Williams,
who
hanged
himself
at
his
home
earlier
this
week,
was
reportedly
left
"devastated".
The
news
that
the
show
wasn't
going
to
return
for
another
season
was
a
setback
to
the
actor,
who
is
said
to
have
been
in
deep
depression
before
committing
suicide.
Tmz.com
reports
that
according
to
sources,
who
frequently
interacted
with
Williams
during
the
last
month
of
his
life,
Williams
viewed
the
cancellation
as
a
"personal
failure".
As
Williams
put
it
to
one
person
just
before
the
show
debuted:
"My
face
is
all
over
town
(on
billboards)
and
it's
all
on
my
back."
So,
it
was
no
wonder
that
the
cancellation
left
him
upset.
"It
hit
him
hard,"
said
one
source,
adding
that
this
was
the
reason
why
the
iconic
actor
entered
the
Hazelden
Addiction
Treatment
Center
last
month.
Also,
he
was
increasingly
depressed
that
he
was
older,
and
good
roles
for
him
were
few
and
far
between,
shared
another
source.
