ABC's THE NINE Is 86’d
After Seven Episodes!!

I am – Hercules!!

ABC announced Saturday that it has pulled “The Nine,” which virtually every critic but Herc loves to pieces, from its post-“Lost” timeslot, effective immediately.

It’ll be replaced by “Primetime” (the one without so many exciting pedophile stings).

ABC says it’ll be back later in the season but, candidly, the network said the same thing about “Karen Sisco,” and we’re still waiting.

The show garners less than half the viewers “Lost” does. Even if “The Nine” does return, I’d put the chances of ABC ever airing a 14th episode at about 100 to one.

Read zap2it’s take on the matter here.

(Thanks to Paul H. for the heads up.)
