ABC has yanked Don't trust The B---- In Apt. 23, a sitcom about a young woman who's forced to move in with another young lady who's a con artist. It simply wasn't funny, and viewers stayed away in droves.

NBC ended 30 Rock on Jan. 31. This show ran successfully for six years, quite a long run for a scripted show. As its Neilsens were slipping, they decided to give it a proper send-off.

To no one's surprise, NBC cancelled Do No harm, a show about a neurosurgeon who had an evil alter ego, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The show's premiere had the lowest viewership in the history of scripted shows...until Ep #2, which was even lower! That was the end!

Twelve eps were made; no word on the fate of the ten unaired ones.

Didn't realize this show had been on for 6 years

CBS has cancelled talker The Jeff Probst Show. it couldn't compete with the spate of already-established gab sessions. But don't feel sorry for Jeff-he's still the host of "Survivor" for the forseeable future.

BBC America has cancelled The Hour, a comedy about a late-50s news show similar to our 60 Minutes I just love that British dry humor. I'll miss that show.

I sort of liked his show. Most of his guess stayed the whole hour.

The syndicated Ricki Lake Show has been cancelled. While her first talker ran for nine years, this'n didn't doo too hot; too much competition.

I saw the first two episodes. The show was ok. I would have watched it again.

CBS has cancelled The Job, yet another reality show in which contestants try to win a job with a big company. This show had some of the lowest ratings ever for a CBS show since the the 1940s!

I hope people are at last starting to tune out this reality garbage, and I hope that the dating/relationship sub-genre is the first to go completely.

CBS quickly cancelled The Job, yet another inane reality show where contestants competed to win a "dream job" at a big company. Lasted all of two eps!

The syndicated Judge Joe Brown was cancelled over a contract dispute, but will air thru this summer. Since only Judge Judy has higher Neilsens among courtroom shows than JJB, I expect someone to pick up JJB before the year ends.

NBC scrapped Surprise! With Jenny Mc Carthy, yet another lame reality show they were hoping to spice up with the hot blonde. I guess "reality" set in & they realized that the whole show sucked. Only the pilot was made, thankfully.

ABC has scrapped plans for Troupe Stars, a singing competition between members of the US military, past and present.

I already have a winner in that genre...five marines who called themselves "The Essex", who scored a million-seller in 1963 with "Easier Said Than Done".

It appears that the long run of America's Most Wanted is finally over. There are now quite a few croox behind bars thanx to that show.

After Lifetime dropped it, John Walsh has been shopping it around, but as of this writing, there have been no takers.
