'The Unit' & 'Earl' cancelled

Geplaatst op 19 mei 2009 16:07 door gsprimo

After late-in-the-game saves for fan favorites like NBC's "Chuck" and Fox's "Dollhouse," CBS has canceled long-running Sunday night action-drama "The Unit" while NBC is putting an end to Thursday night comedy mainstay "My Name Is Earl."

But sources also say there's some silver lining: "Earl" studio 20th TV is talking to Fox and ABC about possibly picking up the show.

ABC in particular has been receptive to picking up rival shows, having taken "Scrubs" after NBC canceled the series last year and committing to take on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" should CBS cancel the series (there's still no official word on "Christine," though ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said this morning that last he heard CBS was renewing the show).

Both shows have run four seasons. "Earl" averaged 4.5 million viewers and a 1.7 adult demo rating this season while "The Unit" pulled 9.6 million viewers and a 2.4 rating.
