Eli and Dirty will follow suit hopefully).

SAMANATHA WHO? FATAL

Networks are announcing new shows for this fall and cutting shows that have not performed well. So if you want to see your show remain on the air - WATCH IT!

ABC has canceled the Christina Applegate show ”Samantha Who.”
According to sources, Sam Who was expected to return on a Tuesday night but got caught up in this year’s belt-tightening trend at the networks.
An insider tells Variety, the decision to scrap “Samantha” came down to numbers. The show couldn’t slash its budget deep enough to make a third-season pickup work, they said.

ABC had been mulling a plan to decrease “Samantha’s” budget by changing the way the show is shot - moving to multiple cameras, rather than the single camera now used. Alphabet was looking to slash as much as $500,000 per episode from the show’s budget.

But “Samantha” became expendable once ABC picked up such a hefty number of new series for next year - 10 in total. “Samantha” was initially a strong performer for the ABC on Monday nights, but faltered this season after moving to Thursdays.

I just caught up on my episodes, and watched the finale - another good show gone off the air.
