The axe falls thrice

In reverse order of surprise:

NBC yanked the fertility clinic drama Inconceivable after just two airings, which isn't too bad considering it sounded like something that should have been pulled off the schedule before September. They might as well just make Three Wishes three hours long.

The WB joined in the fun by dumping Just Legal, proving that we're not quite ready for yet another Don Johnson revival. They'll be showing re-runs of Related in the time slot... at least until they cancel that show, too.

Moving to cable, FX dropped Starved while picking up It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I've not seen the latter, but having watched a few episodes of Starved I can't say I'm really surprised. It wasn't a bad show, but I don't think it was quite strong enough given the difficulty in pulling comedy out of eating disorders.
