CBS has canceled long-running military action-drama "The Unit" and veteran crime drama "Without a Trace," and NBC is putting an end to Thursday night comedy mainstay "My Name Is Earl" and thriller "Medium." The moves come after late-in-the-game saves for relatively new fan favorites like NBC's "Chuck" and Fox's "Dollhouse."
There's some potential silver lining -- "Medium" producer CBS TV Studios is close to setting the show on CBS, while "Earl" studio 20th TV is talking to Fox and ABC about one of the networks possibly picking up the comedy.
And hours after 20th TV-produced "The Unit" was canceled, the studio's syndication arm, Twentieth TV, announced that the military drama starring Dennis Haysbert has been sold in syndication for a fall 2010 launch.
In the wake of NBC's cancellation of "Medium," CBS Studios issued a statement blasting the network about its decision and the way it was handled.
"NBC's cancellation of 'Medium' is inexplicable to us," the statement said. "The ratings don't lie: 'Medium' outperforms many of NBC's renewed shows."
Other shows are Samantha Who?, which I've seen once and I thought it was ok for those type of shows, Without a Trace, and King of the Hill which I didn't know was still on. New shows cancelled are Kath & Kim, In the Motherhood and Sit Down Shut Up which I don't know what it is. List here.
