FOX cancels I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER

As we get closer and closer to May, when the networks typically unveil exactly which shows will be returning and which are canceled, we're starting to see a spate of underperforming shows falling by the wayside.  It's thrilling but sad, like watching a highway pileup.  Last week, FOX decided to abandon its expensive dinodrama, TERRA NOVA.  Just yesterday HBO called it quits on LUCK after three horses perished during filming.  And now FOX has dropped the axe on one of its freshman comedies, Jaime Pressly's I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER.

Originally, FOX had planned to move the sitcom from its Tuesday slot into Wednesday nights starting next month, shortening the Wednesday episodes of AMERICAN IDOL to 90 minutes to accomodate DAUGHTER.  Now we are learning that FOX has changed their minds, deciding to keep AMERICAN IDOL at its full two hours, meaning...there is no longer room in the schedule for DAUGHTER.  As of right now, the show's last episode is scheduled to air on Tuesday April 3, after which it will disappear into the ether.

The show has been pulling in on average a mere 3.6 million viewers for a 1.4 rating.  There is a chance the remaining episodes will be burned off throughout the summer.
