Black Donnellys, 7th Heaven, Wedding Bells, Six Degrees Cancelled

By James Hibberd

Networks are getting itchy trigger fingers.

In rapid succession, a flurry of struggling shows are being yanked from the schedule.

NBC's The Black Donnellys, The CW's 7th Heaven, Fox's Wedding Bells and ABC's Six Degrees have either been pulled off the air or ceased production early this week as networks reconfigure their schedules for May sweeps.

  • The David E. Kelley's dramedy The Wedding Bells has ceased production, but the network plans to air three more episodes. The Friday night drama most recently earned a mere 1.4 rating among adults 18 to 49.
  • ABC pulled Six Degrees last fall, then brought back the show as a March addition to Friday nights. Its last airing earned a 1.1 rating. Repeats of Wife Swap will air in its place.
  • NBC's mob drama Black Donnellys filled a Monday night hole vacated by Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and has bled viewers nearly ever airing. Last night's episode earned a 2.0 rating. Donnellys will be replaced by the reality series The Wedding Crashers.
  • The CW's 7th Heaven will finish its final season, with a finale to air May 13, but will not return this fall.

by ceased production, I hope they'll atleast let 7th Heaven finish its season. \Even though I've hated that show, and Everwood would still be alive and kicking if not for it, it would be stupid for it to end abruptly.

Hasn't the whole season been a finale? (wheeze! wheeze! I can't walk so fast! Come to my house for spaghetti! My wife isn't home)... oh wait, sounds like gay male porn. Daddy-type gets hookup with 18 year old homeless twink.

And then there's those "Village of the Damned" twins - except they're retarded, just listen to them speak.

And how old is HAPPY now?

they don't need another 2 hour send off. They got it last year, and frankly, they don't deserve it based on their performance this year. Wrap up stories, one hour episode, have them move away or something.

They don't have to have a two-hour sendoff. Although I disagree that it was two hours last year. Was it really? If so, I am terribly shocked! I watched it even and didn't realize that. :unsure:

But let's be honest, folks. The question isn't whether the show will be given a finale. I think The CW would do that, especially with all the fanfare they gave, initially, to the "unprecedented" 11th season. Plus it is, whether you like it or not, a television phenomenon. Once TV Guide's "best show you're not watching." (second season, I believe).

It deserves a finale.

But I digress.

The REAL question is: will Jessica Beal and that What About Brian guy come back for THIS finale?!!!

    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
