Cancellation Is Punny
Between iTunes, DVDs, DVRs, and the various bootlegs available around the internet -- or so we've heard -- the "fall TV season" may not be the big event it used to be. But even if the media don't get all that excited about the start of any given show, they do love to cover their premature endings: "Sad News for Happy Hour"; "Kidnapped Abducted From NBC Schedule"; "No Silver Anniversary For Twenty Good Years"...you get the idea. With November sweeps upon us, more of this year's new series are likely to be euthanized, so as an aid to wire-service hacks, Fametracker offers this roundup of punning headlines.
