TV: cancellations

[ghost2]

New series that are dead: Eastwick, Hank, Trauma. Trauma will most likely air the remainder of its thirteen episodes. Not so sure about Eastwick, and Hank is shutting down production after wrapping up just its tenth episode.

The only returning show that's been dumped so far is Dollhouse, which apparently will burn off its remaining episodes in December and January. ETA: Fox obviously wants to get rid of this one fast. It's doubling up on December episodes to help bump it out of the way before February sweeps.

Well, I'll miss Eastwick a bit. Based on the ratings, though, they all deserved to go. When reruns of other shows do 50% better in your timeslot (Dollhouse) and you lose nearly half of your audience from your debut (Eastwick), cancellation seems merciful.

Merlin got picked up?

Oops, sorry. I didn't realized you had replied to this post. Right now, Merlin is airing its second season in the UK and Colin Morgan said there will be a third one. The first season aired in the US over last summer. I don't know when/if the second one will air in the US, since the first season didn't do all that well here. My guess is that it will eventually air on maybe BBC America, or else be held until summer on NBC.
