It took only one show failing to start the domino effect for this fall season.  The body count now stands at three.

After The Playboy Club headed off to cancellation heaven earlier this week, you knew more shows were going to be getting the ax.  First up was the Hank Azaria comedy Free Agents based on a British comedy of the same name, after a dismal showing last night, NBC immediately pulled the plug on the series replacing it with re-airings of other shows until further notice.

This means that in short order that NBC, the network most in need of a hit, has lost two new shows, and there is no clear break out success story for them.  It’d be nice to see them get back in the game at some point after being #1 for so many years, but every time they turn around they are failing.

The other cancellation comes from The CW, and is anyone really surprised it was H8R?  Yes, the idiotic “reality” show where people were “forced” into meeting celebrities they hate.  This show was so insanely stupid that I still can’t believe it ever even ended up on the air, but then again it is The CW, so it isn’t like it was on a real network.

I am certain this won’t be the end of the cancellations for this year.  The selection of shows that got picked up was some of the weakest I have ever seen, and now the networks are finally realizing it.
