• Life is over at NBC

The fates of "Chuck" and "Law & Order" may still be up in the air, but NBC was definitive about one on-the-fence show at its upfront presentation Monday: "Life" will not get a third season.

"It will not be coming back," was NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman's short and to-the-point statement on the show's fate, which came in response to a question about it at the network's upfront presentation in New York Monday. The LA Times and numerous others reported the cancellation.

It's not a huge surprise. The series, which starred Damian Lewis as eccentric L.A. detective Charlie Crews, averaged only about 6.2 million viewers in its second season, where it split time between Wednesday and Friday nights (along with a brief tryout on Mondays at the beginning of the season).

NBC seems to be doing everything possible to lose me as a viewer.

Wrong move, very wrong move. I hope somebody else picks it up.

Agreed, the show is very good, too bad the big guys at NBC can't understand that >_<

That ticks me off. If they would stop screwing around with the schedule and trying to put it up against proven winners on the other networks, it might have a chance. But, no. NBC is too STUPID to actually keep a show which caters to those with an IQ above that of a chimpanzee...
