Monk to shoot eighth, and final season

The hit show Monk had its eighth season picked up, but it’s going to be the last one.

The USA Network gave the go-ahead for an eighth season comprising of 16 episodes.

This is not good news as Monk is really great character-driven series and it has a lot of fans. Hopefully, USA Network will reconsider this decision.

Enemy, Lipstick removed

NBC has decided to axe two shows from its roster. These are the freshman series My Own Worst Enemy starring Christian Slater and the second seasoner Lipstick Jungle.

The reasons for the cancellation are the low ratings the two shows have experienced in the past few weeks. Enemy will film its ninth and final episode while Lipstick has already delivered its whole 13 episode order.

ABC axes three shows

Proof that in the ratings war, cult faves will still get the axe.

ABC has announced that it will be cancelling shows Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone. The network has told the respective producers of the shows that no new episodes will be ordered. Although the network has intimated that it may order new episodes in the future this possibility is highly unlikely.

MADtv cancelled

Long-running sketch show and SNL copycat MADtv will end at its 14th season.

Fox recently confirmed the news about the cancellation. The current members of the cast are Arden Myrin, Bobby Lee, Crista Flanagan, Keegan-Michael Key, Nicole Parker and Johnny Sanchez.

The reason for the cancellation was the show’s failure to boost rations during the presidential campaign, a period when SNL also started posting its best ratings in years.
