THR.com along with a few others is announcing that Dollhouse has been officially canceled. They are producing number eleven currently and will shoot through the thirteen ordered and then they are done.

Per TVbythenumbers.com here is the final schedule run off of shows.

12/4 2 episodes 8/7C - 10/9C, 12/11 2 episodes 8/7C - 10/9C , 12/18 2 episodes 8/7C - 10/9C, 1/8 1 episode @ 9/8C, 1/15 1 episode@ 9/8C, 1/22 The final episode @9/8C.

Per ABC they have stopped production on Hank. They are in the middle of finishing the tenth episode and that will be it. ABC has shown five and has no plans to show the final five at this time.

On a funnier note, EW.com reports that Producer Maggie Friedman is pretty upset that Eastwick has been canceled. Really! Not very surprising. To parphrase, she said that because they are in the middle of finishing the thirteenth and final episode they won't be able to put any closure to the show.

Now it's not funnier that Eastwick was canceled. It's just funny the producer would vent like this. Like this hasn't happened dozens of times every year before this one.

The only positive I can come up with out of all this is Jaime Ray Newman can go back to Eureka where she was an intregal part of that cast.

All of this can be found reported on a number of sites. ABC press release, EW.com, THR.com, and TVbythenumbers.com.

Based on a number of sources ABC has been making plans and breaking hearts today.

Eastwick will not get any additional episodes ordered. So their plan is to run all of the thirteen initial episodes shot and end the show then.

So Eastwick is canceled.

The forgotten is considered the stronger of the two shows and so ABC has ordered an additional five episodes of the Tuesday night procedural.

I believe that will bring the number of episodes to eighteen, but I will have to get that verified.

On another note the Kathy Griffin hosted show "Let's Dance" has been canceled by ABC altogether.

Interesting developments. It's difficult for me to say much as I actually like both Eastwick and the forgotten, but probably Eastwick a little more. The forgotten is interesting and I like Slater, but it just doesn't seem to pull you in. Eastwick's characters are more engaging. Can you say Jerry Bruckheimer? (Producer of the forgotten!)

Just though I'd update you. Thanks for reading...

Hello to all my friends out there in TV.com land. AprilFox had some wonderful pictures on her last blog. My sister lives in Rochester, NY and it has been rainy and snowy already this fall season as well.

The last few days in the Sonoran Desert we have seen temperatures back up in the mid-90's Fahrenheit and they haven't got below 60 or so. Over the weekend highs will drop into the low 80's. Isn't it November?

SpongeBob Orangepants has his fur coat back for the winter and is looking more like himself. I think he may be thinking he grew it back too soon though!

Today is my 26th Wedding Anniversary and my wife and I are going to The Legends at Fransisco Grande Resort for dinner. Last year our daughter threw us a big 25th Anniversary party which was very nice, but it will be good to just spend a quiet evening together this year.

I'm not sure I mentioned this in the past but we live about three miles from Red River Ranch which was John Wayne's cattle ranch. He and Lewis Johnston owned it together for many years and then it was run by one of his sons. It is a huge dairy and feed ranch with thousand of cattle. Just the kind of place you would think John Wayne would own and live at.

The Legends sort of took their name from many of the stars like Wayne who lived and vacationed here. Fransisco Grande is also famous for being the Spring Training Resort location for the San Fransisco Giants for years in the past and now is the home of a new training facility for a new minor league American football league that trains here three months out of the year.

On the TV front, CBS' Accidentally on Purpose received a partial pickup for five episodes bringing the number to 18 for the season. It does look like Mercy will be the last new medical show standing with the back nine ordered for 22 episodes. Both Trauma and Three Rivers will probably show their remaining episodes and then be canceled.

Finally V debuted to a huge audience eclipsing NCIS for the time slot at least in the 18-49 viewer range. NCIS did have more overall viiewers though. It looks like V is going to be a big hit, but we will have to wait and see how it fares next week to see how big. It also did extremely well in Canada with a huge premiere there as well. Then there is the whole hiatis till Spring after showing the first four episodes this month. I don't think people will have trouble waiting though.

Personally, I enjoyed the show. I thought the special effects were very good, the acting and actors enjoyable for the most part, and the script looks pretty solid. If I was disappointed about anything it was all the borrowing from other TV shows, movies, etc. since the first series aired in the early 80's. Especially the Independence Day opening.

I hope everyone has a good week! Take care and thanks for reading...
