One month ago, I set the over-under on episodes of Kelsey Grammer’s “Hank” that would air at 5.5. Collect your winnings if you took the under, because ABC has canned it after five episodes (and one Great Pumpkin preemption).
The show is filming episode 10 and will stop production after wrapping that episode. ABC… has no immediate plans to run the remaining five segments. [The Live Feed]
In slightly higher quality cancellation, Fox has axed Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse,” which had low ratings but a small and nerdy fan base. Unlike “Hank,” Fox will air the second season’s remaining episodes. Whedon and the nerdy fan base are sad. Whedon wrote:

Gosh, when he puts it that way, I don’t even feel bad for him. I kind of wish I were rich and fired.

Is “asked” reverse black-speak for “axed”?
Son of a bitch. Sorry, I’ve been awake since 3:30 a.m. and wrote that in a rush. Fixed.
Dollhouse is cancelled?! Won’t somebody please think of the children?!
/in love with Eliza Dushku
/calls his testicles “the children”
See, I’m the opposite Danger.
Hate Dollhouse because I dislike Dushku.
Eliza Dushku got axed? I wonder if she needs any help caring for her hatchet wound.
Dollhouse is as canceled as most of its viewers would like you to believe their dates are.

After playing Beast in the crappy last X-Men movie, Kelsey is so close to the Hank-trifecta. I suggest he plays the lead role in the Hank Aaron Story.
I would appreciate it if everyone would lay off my lack of anything else to do on Friday nights. *sniff*
Kinda makes that “Save One Show” thingy kinda foolish, huh?]
~still bitter over Terminator cancellation
internet ventures = doctor horrible 2?
I would feel much more comfortable hating Kelsey Grammer if he wasn’t responsible for this:

Kid, I would prefer him in the role of Hank Gathers…because he would die in blackface
