  • After seven seasons, NBC is cancelling The West Wing. The final episode, in May, will feature a live lobotomy of Kristin Chenoweth, whose perkiness pisses off even that Japanese talk show host from Lost in Translation. [AP]

  • In light of disappointing box office results this year, most studios are planning on cutting back significantly on their movie releases. Which yes, tragically, means that Disney has pulled the plug on Aladdin 4.1: Shameless Direct-to-Video Franchise Milking with Princess Jasmine. [Variety]

  • Horrifically, 'N Sync has been given a reality show, tentatively titled Out of Sync—oh, the wit—which is to air on UPN starting this fall. Set your TiVos NOW. [USA Today]

  • NBC has sidelined The Apprentice to Monday night to make room for The Office and My Name Is Earl, which are doing well on Thursday nights. Asked for comment, Donald Trump said, "Monday is the most premium, luxurious day of the week in the history of mankind. It is the Cadillac of weekdays. Actually, the Lamborghini of weekdays. No wait I mean the TRUMP ICE of weekdays." [Reality Blurred]

  • The New York Times reports that Disney/ABC may have killed the reality show Welcome to the Neighborhood—in which a gay family transplanted to Texas won the hearts of their initially hostile neighbors—because of a reluctance to alienate Christian groups prior to the release of The Chronicles of Narnia. Anderson Cooper plans an exposé, not because he has any PERSONAL VESTED INTEREST per se, but just because he's, you know, a "concerned journalist." [NY Times]

TEh cancelation of West Wing was made doubly bitter when I read an article talking about how they are doing it to make room for their revamped lineup including a game show hosted my Howie Mandell.

Have fun in obscurity NBC.

I really hope the West Wing didn't get cancelled for Deal or no Deal. The previews for the pile of crap annoy the hell out of me. What happened to NBC? I heard they are paying the cast of friends 4 million each for a set of reunion specials. This network is grasping at straws.

At least they have The Offie....
