CNN has canceled Piers Morgan Live.
The news network have confirmed the nightly show - which was previously known as Piers Morgan Tonight - is coming to an end after over three years, though the exact date of the final program is yet to be determined. The British presenter told the New York Times newspaper he and CNN president Jeff Zucker had discussed the future of the program last week and decided to cancel it following "painful" ratings, which he believes is due to a failure to "connect" with American people.

‘The Michael J. Fox’ Show Axed After 15 Episodes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Announcements, Cancellations, News, Ratings,
The Michael J. Fox Show has been cancelled after just 15 episodes.
The Back to the Future actor's self-titled sitcom has lost its prime time Thursday night slot in favor of Hollywood Game Night - a game show presented by Jane Lynch - after network NBC decided to pull the plug because of poor ratings.
Entertainment Weekly confirmed the news on Wednesday night and with only 15 out the 22 episodes of the show having been aired so far, it's still unclear whether the remaining installments will be broadcast at all.
The reports come after NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt described The Michael J. Fox Show as a "uphill battle" at the Television Critics Association press tour last month, admitting he wasn't happy with its dismal ratings.

Kris Jenner's chat show has been officially canceled.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is disappointed that her daytime talk show, Kris, has been axed after just one season even though she secured a rare interview with her future son-in-law Kanye West and debuted the first picture of the rapper and her daughter Kim Kardashians' baby North West on the series in August.
"Kris' will not be on the schedule for the 2014 syndication season," Fox said in a statement released yesterday.
But the US network hasn't ruled out working with Kris, 58, who split from her husband Bruce Jenner in November after 22 years of marriage, in the future. "However, the possibility for the talk show, or an additional project for Kris Jenner, for the 2015 season is being discussed and highly considered," the statement added.

Mischa Barton Moves On From Crappy Situation
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, News, Rumors,
A little over a month since the CW canceled her show, The Beautiful Life: TBL, Mischa Barton reflects and decides to move on.
“I just don’t think the time was right and that was just a really sh****y situation.” Right, because shows with gorgeous people and major drama don’t fare well on television these days.
The 23 year-old actress, who bumps shoulders with the likes of fashion designer Zac Posen, is keeping her options open when it comes to television or film.
“I’m just figuring out what my next move will be and really looking at a lot of different projects and figuring out what I want to do… These days, television is about just as good as movies… I’m looking forward to being part of something that is right in the future.”
If only she had stripped down for those promo ads—I’ll bet she’s regretting that now.

Is it the Media’s Fault Studio 60 Suffered?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, NBC, Cancellations, Ratings,
The much-hyped Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip suffered a short season on NBC (the network that’s currently falling behind all competitors – ABC, CBS, even FOX when it comes to ratings), possibly because of tension between show creator Aaron Sorkin and the general media. Sorkin, the writer of A Few Good Men, watched (no doubt in despair) as his Studio was bashed by critics and ignored by viewers. Sure, the show’s subject matter – comedy writers – couldn’t have had anything to do with the public’s failure to connect with Studio 60. Right. Sorkin is moving on to other projects, many of them to debut on Broadway, and thank goodness. Chalk up yet another failure for NBC, the network that’s still trying to salvage its success from the 90s.
