Prison Break’s Last Days on TV
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Prison Break, Cancellations,
To be perfectly honest, I never suspected Prison Break would last beyond the first season. Like, who wants to watch some guys endlessly fail to break out of a jail? I always wondered where the show could possibly go, but FOX managed to surprise even me. Prison Break won awards, generated tons of buzz and enjoyed a four season run. But now, it’s all over.
“Prison Break had a hell of a run, but the run has ended,” stated Kevin Reilly, FOX president, at a recent press event. “This will be the last year of the show.”
The official excuse is that the show has naturally “played out,” but the ratings for the drama have been decidedly down this year. So…how much longer will fans have to enjoy the show? “We’ve got our remaining batch of four episodes, and there are a couple more they’re contemplating,” said Reilly. Could these “couple more” episodes be the series finale or a movie-type ending?
Reilly says that a “really cool ending” is planned, and that “it’s a hell of an idea.”

FX Puts an End to The Riches
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Cancellations,
After enduring a ratings hit and a shortened second season, FX’s The Riches is officially being put to rest.
When the series originally debuted back in March 2007, it pulled in approximately 3.8 million viewers. Unfortunately, the Eddie Izzard/Minnie Driver drama saw a significant drop just one year later. Riches - already hurt by the writers strike - saw a 44% drop in the key 18-49 demo when Season Two kicked off in March 2008.
Fortunately for FX, this failed program won’t keep the network from celebrating. Just last month, Damages became one of the first two basic cable programs ever to be nominated for Best Drama. Meanwhile, the channel has already decided to renew Sons of Anarchy for a second season.

Say Goodbye to MTV’s Total Request Live
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Cable, MTV, Cancellations, News,
After 10 years on air, an MTV program supposedly dedicated to videos will be going on an indefinite break.
Today, Dave Sirulnick, the executive producer for TRL, announced the long-running series will be coming to a close. The show, which debuted in 1998 with host Carson Daly, will get a two-hour sendoff on a Saturday sometime in November.
In the past decade, the daily countdown show has welcomed a countless list of stars and accommodated hordes of screaming girls. Unfortunately, interest in the program starting waning around the time Daly moved on to late-night pastures. Last year, the network decided to air only 4 installments a week (down from 5) after seeing a decrease in viewers.
According to Sirulnick, Total Request Live’s departure may not necessarily be a permanent one. It was simply agreed that the show was in need of a “break.” Maybe MTV will eventually revisit the format once they start caring about videos again?

‘Entertainment Tonight’ Pulls Heath Ledger Video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Syndication, Cancellations, Editorial, News,
Who says public pressure doesn’t work?
Just a few weeks ago, Dr. Phil did an about-face and canceled plans for a Britney-centric show. (He claimed it was an act of consideration for the family.) Now Entertainment Tonight and The Insider are throwing out the word ‘respect’ as the reason for one of their own cancellations.
The two tabloid shows were scheduled to air a video involving Heath Ledger and drugs this Thursday night. The 2006 tape - which was practically aired in its entirety for Wednesday’s promo - showed the actor in the vicinity of drugs (and drug users) at the Chateau Marmont. Although it wasn’t clear if he was taking anything in the teased bits, his audible comments made it clear he wasn’t doing something his girlfriend (Michelle Williams) would approve of. He is also heard talking about their recently-born daughter, Matilda Rose.
Although I have never seen the full video, the shortened version was more than enough. The teaser’s over-the-top narration was extremely salacious, gratuitous and insensitive. I was so bothered by what was shown….and I apparently wasn’t the only one. Late Wednesday, reps for both shows confirmed the sweeps segment had been pulled. Here is a copy of the short statement printed on ET’s website:
“Out of respect for Heath Ledger’s family, “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video which has been circulating in the world media.”
