ABC was due for shit after the phenomenal season they've had. I mean, they finally knocked "CSI" out of the #1 slot for the first time in, like, three years with "Desperate Housewives," and "Lost" is one of the most talked-about and critically-acclaimed series of the last five years. Hell, even "Grey's Anatomy" seems to be doing really well, too.
ABC was bound to fail one of these days, and I'm just glad it's happening as a summer series rather than filling a fall timeslot that could go to more innovative programming like "Desperate" and "Lost."
BTW, this isn't coming from an ABC fan. I'm still pissed they canceled "Sports Night" five years ago. Plus, I think "According to Jim," "8 Simple Rules," and "George Lopez" are perhaps the least funny sitcoms ever, even though they've all been pretty successful.
