Dead from Los Angeles, it's Studio 60 on the
Sunset Strip
02/14/07 06:28 PM
NBC has all but canceled Studio 60
on the Sunset Strip with its announcement that a
new series, The Black Donnellys, will supplant
it a week earlier than first announced.
Studio 60 is slated to return "later this season on a date to be determined," NBC says. But the show's high production costs and sinking ratings clearly have killed its chances for a second season.
Donnellys, which now will step in for Studio 60 on the last Monday of the February sweeps (Feb. 26), is co-created and produced by Paul Haggis, director of last year's Oscar-winning Crash. Its title characters are four working class Irish brothers caught up in New York's organized crime scene.
