The torture has ended, and ABC has canceled horrible new cross-dressing sitcom Work It after just two episodes. Although the premiere's ratings were decent, and ABC entertainment president Paul Lee even defended the show to reporters, the ratings tumbled for the second episode, and that plus the bad reviews and bad word-of-mouth was enough for cancellation. For now, repeats of Last Man Standing will fill the time slot, but it seems likely that Cougar Town will finally premiere its third season in the vacated spot before too long.
Meanwhile, TV Land has ordered a fourth season of its signature original sitcom Hot in Cleveland, still riding high on the resurgence of Betty White, who's about to celebrate her 90th birthday. None of the network's other original sitcoms have drawn the ratings or attention that Cleveland has brought in, so it's not surprising to see it being milked for all its potential while there's still time. The next new TV Land original will even be a Cleveland spin-off, Have Faith, starring Cedric the Entertainer as an R&B singer-turned-minister. It's set to premiere in June.
