    ABC and NBC announce show cancellations (per TVSeriesFinale.com)

    ABC will be canceling the following shows:
    According to Jim - The Jim Belushi sitcom has been cancelled after 145 episodes and six seasons. The series finale airs tomorrow.
    Big Day - This quirky sitcom about a couple's wedding day ran for 12 episodes, leaving one episode unaired. The ratings were low so it won't be back.
    Day Break - The Taye Diggs dramatic series was pulled after six episodes and ABC subsequently released the remaining episodes online. Diggs is committed to the Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice.
    Extreme Makeover - This personal makeover series ran for four season and 55 episodes. Three have gone unaired. The Ty Pennington Home Edition will return for another season.
    George Lopez - The six-year-old sitcom, which often performed better than most everything else ABC could put up against American Idol, has been dropped. The series finale ran last week on May 8, 2007.
    The Great American Dream Vote - The Donny Osmond-hosted reality show was pulled after two episodes. Three episodes never aired.
    Help Me Help You - Ted Danson's sitcom, about an egotistical therapist and his patients, was cancelled after nine episodes. Four episodes went unaired.
    In Case of Emergency - This sitcom starred David Arquette and Jonathan Silverman and just never caught on. One of the 13 episodes was left unaired.
    Knights of Prosperity - Nine of the 13 episodes of this sitcom have aired. The network said that it would return with Ray Romano as the new target of the "knights." There was speculation that these four episodes would be combined with a small second season order but it didn't happen.
    The Nine - Many of the cast members have been committed to other ABC shows so it's no shock that this series has been cancelled. ABC pulled this serial drama after just seven episodes and fans are still waiting to see the rest. The first seven are available on via iTunes and the rest may be released online at some point.
    Show Me the Money - The William Shatner game show seemed to be a success initially but its popularity declined at warp speed. Six additional episodes were ordered and then quickly cancelled. Five episodes have aired to date.
    Six Degrees - The first of ABC's serial dramas to be pulled in the 2006-2007 season, Production was completed on 13 episodes and, after a brief return on Friday nights, the network has been releasing the episodes online. It's no surprise that it won't be back
    What About Brian - The Barry Watson series was saved last year but the network felt the ratings just didn't warrant a third year. The last episode aired on March 26th. Watson will star opposite Christina Applegate in new sitcom Sam I Am on Monday nights.
    It seems that no decision has been made on the new drama Traveler but the premiere's ratings make its future look doubtful.
    NBC will be canceling:
    Andy Barker, P.I. - The Andy Richter comedy series ran for six episodes to poor ratings. NBC put the last two on Saturday night and it seemed like the sitcom was doomed before it began.
    The Black Donnellys - The Paul Haggis series was pulled after six episodes and the remaining episodes have been made available on NBC's site and iTunes.
    Crossing Jordan - After six seasons on the air, Jordan has solved her last case. The series finale airs on Wednesday, May 16, 2007.
    Grease: You're The One That I Want - The ratings were a disappointment and seriously, how could they do another season anyway -- fire the first years' winners to make room for the second's?
    Identity - The Penn Jillette-hosted game show about contestants identifying strangers' hobbies or occupations is finished after 12 episodes.
    Kidnapped - NBC's big serial drama under-performed network expectations and was cancelled after three episodes and pulled from the schedule after five. Luckily for viewers, NBC released the remaining seven episodes online and the series has been released on DVD.
    Raines - The quirky Jeff Goldblum detective show ran all seven episodes to poor ratings. It won't be back.
    The Real Wedding Crashers - The reality series that replaced Donnellys was pulled from the schedule after three episodes. NBC may air the remaining episodes during the summer.
    Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - The much-hyped Aaron Sorkin series didn't live up to expectations. It will return on May 24th and hopefully NBC will air all six of the remaining episodes. A DVD release is likely.
    Thank God You're Here - The improv sketch show's ratings were nothing to smile about so it's been cancelled after seven episodes.
    Twenty Good Years - This sitcom starred series veterans John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor, was pulled from the network schedule after just four episodes. It's doubtful that the remaining episodes will air

    Nothing surprising from ABC, but I am surprised to see Crossing Jordan and Identity get canceled. Well surprised isn't the right word I guess for Crossing Jordan, but it was on our DVR schedule was was Identity. We partially watched Identity because Penn and Teller are from Greenfield, MA.

    yeah not a ton of surprises there it seems. Always wished that the Black Donnellys and Studio had made it though.

        It will be a sad day when that show ends. Only one season left.

            Luckily I don't really care about any of those shows. I thought The Black Donnellys was good, but it was obvious is wasn't coming back.

              Not really surprising but I love how the network execs can tell if a show is worth keeping after 7 or 12 episodes

              Cheers would've never survived if it was started these days.

                I haven't heard of a majority of these shows. I knew Raines was going to get cancelled but I liked the show.

                If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                  Nothing I REALLY care about there. Andy Barker had potential but I knew it was cancelled before it ever aired. I tried to like Studio 60 but it was far too preachy and hamfisted. Should have known considering how horrible Sportsnight was.

                    I am not at all surprised about Thank God You're Here. An absolute load of rubbish!

                      What About Brian? & Six Degrees... two of the best damn shows on television. Sigh. Oh well, I saw it coming.

                        Liked In Case of Emergency and Knights of Prosperity, but I figured they wouldn't make it.

                          For real? That's the worst news I heard all week.

                            I always use that example too. Don't forget The Wonder Years, it was a ratings nightmare and was canceled before winning a few Emmy's.
