   I was unsuare that either series would air since neither was mentioned in the original press release but it looks like most of Hank will be burned off and hopefully all of Eastwick.

   burned off at what cost? without HANK last week middle had its highest numbers since the pilot. Hank back this week at a record low 1.3 and the middle sunk to a 1.8. Why do they ahve to run these and if they do can’t they do like they did to teh far superior Pushing Daisies and wait til the season is over?

   Ted – ABC may just keep Hank to burn episodes off, but occasionally they may replace it with holiday specials. Hank will be off the schedule after the December 16th airing but is only on now so ABC doesnt have to air Modern Family repeats. Kelsey Grammer starring in the series may also be a reason ABC hasnt pulled it yet. As for Eastwick, ABC likes the series but they dont have a permanent Wednesday 10pm replacement and its liekly they wont until January. Which is why Eastwick will air out until then. Forgotten may be pulled After its December 8th airing, once Dancing is gone, it may take forgotten to drop to a series low before ABC officially pulls the show (like Help Me Help You in December 2006 after Dancing left)

   ABC doesnt really have that many new midseason shows and they have short orders – Deep End is 6 episodes ,Happy Town i keep hearing contrasting reports 6,7 or 13 Hank would have to be replaced by ROMANTICALLY CHALLENGED (their only non scheduled comedy- it has a 12 episode order ) i assume its likely thy pull Hank earlier replace with romantically then BOT + RC get canned Scrubs goes to wednesdays 8 PM

   Dan, they could always air the 30 min version charlie brown thankgiving like they did haloween week instead of HANK.

   Why wouldnt they want to air MF reruns – it would help their whole lineup. In dec they could air Scrubs there some weeks.

   Sorry a 1.3 is “cancel me now” ratings, especially when there is evidence it is hurting other shows.

   Err, what’s this “Let’s Dance” thing? Does this mean Castle is off the air until ABC announces their Spring schedule?

   And I don’t consider Thanksgiving break airings to be indicative of much, especially when they haven’t even decided which Hank they are going to bother to air (whatever is the least worst episode out of those produced, of course).

    chucksmom lets dance is taking over Castle’s spot i think for the rest of the year so Castle should have abit of a hiatus

    Castle isn’t going on a hiatus. Maybe a week off but that’s it. ABC ordered a back nine meaning 13 episodes will air by mid December then 9 in the Spring.

    I don’t see that as a good thing for Castle. The finals for DWTS usually get the higest ratings. If Let’s Dance gets higher ratings…..Castle is certianly not getting a season 3.

    Tar is wrong. though it is around for a while during XMAS, it’s not sticking in the 10pm slot other than for its premiere. It will move to 9p-10p after that until its finale (which is scheduled for 8pm)
