CHICAGO – Blogs everywhere are reporting that FOX has canceled “Dollhouse” and that ABC has canceled “Eastwick” and “Hank”. “Dollhouse” starred Eliza Dushku with “Eastwick” and “Hank” being headlined by Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Kelsey Grammer, respectively. The series join “Trauma” and “The Beautiful Life” as early fatalities of the new season.

After the surprise second season announcement, FOX officially decided to cancel the Joss Whedon series “Dollhouse”. The series will end once the current 13-episode order is complete. It’s not surprising to hear that “Dollhouse” has been canceled since the show’s ratings have been a big disappoint since the show first premiered.
Thanks to the show’s popular fanbase and decent DVR numbers, the show made it to a second season. The second season ratings, however, have sunk to a new low and the network was forced to end the series.
ABC has decided to cancel two of their Wednesday night shows. First is the Kelsey Grammer comedy series “Hank” and the TV remake drama “Eastwick”. “Eastwick” will continue to air until the already-produced episodes air. As of now, it’s unknown if “Hank” will continue to air episodes since it’s been replaced with specials and other fill-ins for the foreseeable future.
What shows are next? It appears that ABC’s “The Middle”, CBS’s “Three Rivers”, NBC’s “Mercy”, and ABC’s “The Forgotten” are in danger of being canceled next.

Eastwick
I work in the evenings so I don’t have a chance to watch Eastwick Wednesday nights. This doesn’t stop me from watching it though because I download it as soon as I get home. I love the show and I wish it weren’t being cancelled. To be true to my word, I am boycotting from even watching ABC anymore, and I’m not the only one. They should at least give fans a chance to purchase the last 3 episodes. It was wonderful to see a show that made you proud to be a woman. Adios ABC.
Cancelling Eastwick
I’m done with you ABC. Cancelling Eastwick is the last straw. And get this, you’re keeping Cougar Town!!! Are you insane! Cougar Town is the most lifeless, vapid, stupid show I’ve ever seen. I’ve tried to watch it a few times to give it a chance, but it’s painful to watch.
ABC you really suck and I’m done with you. I’m removing ABC from my list of available channels on the box.
I’m done with you ABC unless you bring back Eastwick.
Most sincerely, Rich
