It hasn't been formally announced - a few out-of-touch wire services still say the series is merely "in trouble" - but the NYT's Bill Carter tucks it into this morning's story about the network's new shows next year, and FoxNews is following it up. Not a big surprise - the Aaron Sorkin hour about the backstage life and times of a "Saturday Night Live"-type comedy show got great notices and quickly developed an almost fanatical following, but it also was a small following. Plus, the series was insanely expensive to produce - not good when your network is dead last in the ratings and your parent corporation is pushing to lower costs. Also being cancelled, according to Carter, are "The Black Donnellys," "Crossing Jordan" and "Scrubs." The big question is what it does with "Law & Order" and its spinoff, "Criminal Intent." The network will be nailing everything down next week.
