Bad news today for fans of Heroes, The Sarah Silverman Program, and Happy Town, as it appears all three shows are getting cut by their networks. We’ll cover it from least surprising to the most surprising:
- If you liked Happy Town or at least were interested enough to stick around to find out what’s going on, you may want to stop yourself from getting too invested. It seems that after premiering to a tepid 5.2 million viewers, the show dipped to 3.8 million for its second episode. The show will air its final five episodes starting June 2. More Here.
- Vulture is reporting that the once great Heroes will finally (and mercifully) come to some sort of an end. The word from Vulture is that NBC had been leaning towards keeping the show around for another year as a back up plan, but after reviewing the pilots they’ve commissioned, they’ve decided to cut the show. Though the show hasn’t been officially canceled, the word is that NBC will probably give the show a 2-4 hour TV movie to wrap everything up. Like I said, NBC could change their mind before Monday’s upfront, but it doesn’t seem likely.
- The biggest surprise was The Sarah Silverman Program, which netted Silverman an Emmy nomination last year for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. Despite a Twitter campaign to save the show, the Comedy Central decided they know best. Don’t forget this is the network responsible for Mind of Mencia, The Jeff Dunham Show, and Halfway Home.
