ABC pulls Big Shots!
I knew I should have quit watching it a while ago! And why not air the final 3 episodes? That makes no sense! Poor Michael Vartan.
In a surprising move given the raging writer’s strike, ABC has benched freshman dramedy “Big Shots.”
The network has pulled the remaining three original episodes of the series starring Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus and Joshua Malina.
The network will air repeats of another freshman series, medical drama “Private Practice,” in the Thursday 10 p.m. slot on Dec. 13, Dec. 20 and Dec. 27.
This could be a tryout behind “Grey’s Anatomy,” the series that spun it off.
“Shots,” which landed the coveted post-”Grey’s” time slot in May, was greeted with mixed reviews and a cold reception by viewers.
Still, given the dearth of original scripted programming the networks are facing with the strike stretching into the new year, the nets so far have tended to keep scripted shows that under normal circumstances would have been canceled.
“Shots,” along with fellow rookie drama “Women’s Murder Club,” have not been picked up for a full season. The other three ABC freshman one-hours, “Practice,” “Dirty Sexy Money” and “Pushing Daisies,” have received back-nine orders.

I love this show. I hate when they do this without giving things a fair chance. Studio 60, anyone?! Just heap more reality CRAP onto the schedule!

I don’t understand this, Big Shots was the only show I watched every thursday at 10:00 p.m They should have given us the opportunity to watch the last 2 episodes before pulling the plug! I love the show so much, now there is nothing on TV to watch. ABC is the only network I watch, I hope someday, they bring back big shots, new a better. These cast were fabulous. I fell in love with Michael Vartan Character and Nia Long and Dylan M. All the cast were fabulous. I truly enjoyed watching the show, I feel very bad for some people who did not find it interesting. I did so does all my friend. Will it ever be something like that in the near future?

An fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you need to write extra on this matter, it won’t be a taboo topic however typically individuals are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
