Cancellation Watch: ‘Six Degrees’ Deep Sixed

April

Wow, that was fast. It seems like just a month ago (March 1, to be precise) that I posted about how “Six Degrees,” starring Katonah product Campbell Scott, was getting a second chance. Of course, at the time I said that its new Friday night time slot was tantamount to a death sentence … which is just what the show got. According to Brilliant But Cancelled’s Deathwath, the show has been officially yanked (along with the ill-conceived “Wedding Bells”).

I still say that the concept—six total strangers go about their normal lives without fully realizing the impact each has on one another—was interesting and novel, but it looks like show creator JJ Abrams (a Sarah Lawrence grad) will have to continue experimenting with it on “Lost” instead (not that he hasn’t already been doing that for the past three seasons anyways).

Meanwhile, in other cancellation news, it looks like “Studio 60” usurper “The Black Donnellys” has an even shorter shelf life. That show and “7th Heaven” are both on the outs, according to EW. Good news, though: Bedford resident Glenn Close’s “Shield” spinoff, “Damages,” has been picked up by FX.
