The short running adult comedy series that began this season on HBO was canceled today.
The series ran for 13 episodes and averaged 1.3M viewers, hardly enough to warrant a renewal, especially when many critics didn’t find much to like with its approach towards humor. Its sex and curse word laced episodes differed heavily from most half-hour sitcoms out there.
“Louis is an incredible talent and a wonderful partner,” said Carolyn Strauss, president of HBO Entertainment, in a statement. “We loved trying our first multicamera show with him, and we look forward to other projects with Louis in the future.”

Fall 2006 TV Review, Part One (“Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and “The Class”) September 18, 2006 1:00 pm

Not for a long time do I remember so many amazing new shows premiering in one season. Whether your favorite genre is drama, comedy or sci-fi, this Falls new shows offer up a little bit of each. I’ve seen most of the pilots, and I’m honestly finding it very hard to narrow down my selection to any sort of top 10 list. Of course, the bigger problem is finding a way to watch all these new shows on top of the current crop that I already watch! I’m sure I’m not the only one in that predicament.
I’m going to do brief reviews of each of the new fall (and winter) series, and we’ll start today with “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and “The Class”.

According to data released by Nielsen Media Research, MNTV programming averaged roughly 1M viewers nightly for the week of September 4th (excluding Labor Day).

While down some from last season’s premiere, it doesn’t appear that the controversy surrounding “Survivor’s” new twists affected ratings much.
Reality show off a little less than 5% from its last season premiere as it leads CBS to an easy Thursday night win.

The return of “Dancing with the Stars” scored big with ABC, improving upon its series premiere last season in both households and A18-49.

As expected, NBC rolled past the competition Sunday night en route to a touchdown with its NFL football coverage.
The match-up between little brother Eli and big brother Peyton improved upon NBC’s Thursday night coverage and scored higher than the comparable game from last season’s ABC contest.
