Breaking Deathwatch Happy Hour Pulled

September 25, 2006

"Happy Hour" cancelled? No, not yet. Just yanked from the schedule like a mean teacher can pull a students hair.

Fox has blinked first. The network has pulled the silly sitcom "from the schedule," according to Fox's website, but "will return it to the air in November."

Sure. Yeah. Okay.

The not-so "Happy Hour" is an odd bird -- no wonder DeathWatch voters picked it to be cancelled first. Imagine "The Odd Couple" meets "Two and a Half Men" meets ... uhm, Barfly? And you'll get a general sense of a show that feels cobbled together by a committee.

“Happy Hour” has been number one on our BrilliantButCancelled DeathWatch since we launched it two weeks ago. The odds are 3:1.

I think every show on The CW network is up for grabs, since the satellite companies aren't broadcasting to every market (not sure about cable).

Is it official or what? so far y'all have sent TWO emails declaring its cancellation, but all I've seen is that they are taking it "off the schedule"

So, is it cancelled for the purposes of the contest or what? I've got two conflicting emails from this site telling me this crappy show is cancelled and that it's NOT cancelled.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Fox can be a sneaking network. It's not officially cancelled (some actors are still getting paid). So the show remains in the contest. Thanks for playing.

{ Weecap }

There's still trouble with Audrina and Lo, and there's still trouble with Heidi and Spencer, and Lauren is still looking for the right guy.

Stay Frosty

{ Recaplet }

Ferrando gets upset that heading into Baghdad with some Humvees and chewing tobacco means (besides total death for everybody) the possibility that the war will end. Aww, Godfather! The war will never end.

Method to the Madness

{ Recap }

Method Man guest-stars (and Tricia Helfer still doesn't) when that dweeb from Felicity fleeces him out of $2 million. It's about to get real! Wu-Tang!

Under Pressure

{ Recap }

From accelerated physics to robot dog shows to molten lava, everyone in Eureka is under tremendous man-made pressure -- including the earth beneath the town itself. Naturally, it falls to Carter and an eccentric geologist (but mostly Carter) to save the day. With an assist from Fifi.

The Godmother

{ Weecap }

What's better than a loose cannon in the Big Brother house? A loose cannon in the HoH room.

And Her Little Dog, Too

{ Weecap }

In her turn as Paymaster, Megan exposes herself as an evil genius. Or as having severe brain damage. Maybe both.

Peggy's pregnant! Well, okay, you probably knew that, but Peggy's new priest didn't. Until now.

My Dinner With Awkward

Suck It, Team Griffin! People Love the Emmy!

{ Weecap }

Kathy and Team Griffin head to the Walter Reed Hospital to perform for injured soldiers. So it's not exactly a laugh a minute.

April tries to turn the house against Keesha just to prove she can, but ends up proving the opposite.

I'd Love to Stick Around, But I'm Running Behind
