More TV news of note: NBC canceled "Law and Order: Trial By Jury," despite favorable ratings and critical acclaim, but NBC Entertainment honcho Kevin Reilly (Jeff Zucker, his predecessor, is now his boss) needed to clear the deck so NBC could get some new ideas into the programming mix for this fall.
As for NBC's new fall shows. . . . Well, I know there are some, but I'd be hard-pressed to remember what they are. :-p
Meanwhile, CBS is canceling the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes." Though the Big Eye denies it, it's lost some luster since the Dan Rather flap over Bush's Air Guard record. Some of the Wednesday edition's reporters will be brought in for the Sunday edition, which makes sense; Vicki Mabrey alone should bring down the average age of the Sunday crew by about ten years! :-D
Kind of hard to imagine the words "60 Minutes" and "cancellation" in the same sentence, given that the original Sunday edition has been on the air since the Beatles's "Hey Jude" was a number-one hit. :-O
