Cancellations in the New Year

Happy New Year all. I have two program cancellations to report.

Fox's prime time soap, The O.C., has been cancelled after being plagued with low ratings. After a promising start the ratings started to fall. Then Fox moved it to Thursday's at 8pm, which happens to be an incredibly competitive time slot. It really had no chance to survive. The series final episode will air in February.







The Megan Mullally Show, a syndicated talk show, was also cancelled. It will air repeats through January. Mullally, former co-star of long running sitcom Will & Grace, seemed like a shoo-in for talk show success. However, she barely garnered 1 million viewers a day.
