In a bold move, NBC has canceled My Name is Earl. Well, maybe it wasn't that bold of a move. The truth is the comedy had seen better days. NBC may be looking forward to the future and hoping to find a younger comedy that will be able to give it Office type ratings, to further back the comedy-strong line-up.
Still, this is somewhat of a surprise. Earl seemed to be doing quite well, but the network probably calculated that as a property, it won't be able to grow much more and had probably reached its saturation point.
Samantha Who has also been canceled as has Fox's Prison Break, which started off so strong and now pretty much just limps along like an old broken down prizefighter that was a champ for the briefest of moments. As soon as the guys broke out of prison for the third or fourth time, it got a little old. And in the latest season, it was looking a little too much like a 24 rip off--and that did not work at all.
