As per [link here](http://tv.yahoo.com/news/nbc-fall-schedule-shake-animal-practice-whitney-175958054.html), both Animal Practice and Made In Jersey have been canceled. I doubt any will mourn their loss - we watched one episode of Animal Practice and didn’t find it even mildly amusing, let alone funny. We did watch both episodes of Made In Jersey, but are not all that sad to see it bite the dust after only two airings. Wonder which show will be canceled next… ---

Saw on Twitter yesterday, “Goodbye Animal Practice, at least you’ll always have that time you pissed everyone off during the Olympics.” ---

Sounds like Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue on ABC and Partners on CBS are the highest on the Dead Shows Walking list at the moment. ETA: Also Mob Doctor. Not a good year for mob shows, apparently Vegas isn’t all that hot either. ---

Not that I would have watched “Made in Jersey” anyway, but couldn’t they have found a non-Brit to play the lead Jersey girl? ---

I gave up on Last Resprt, but I’m really enjoying 666 Park Avenue. I hope it doesn’t go. ---

Not a single one of the new shows this season interested me enough to watch a single episode. That’s probably the first time that’s happened, ever. I must be getting old. But I’m not at all surprised to see some of the shows getting cancelled, they seemed like they sucked pretty hard from the previews. ---

I tried to watch “Last Resort”, gave up after less than ten minutes. Too much hopscotching around to set up soap opera, not enough plot movement. I lasted an episode and a half of “Revolution” before my overwhelming urge to slap some sense into Princess Bossy Brat killed what interest I’d had. “Elementary” has been watchable. ---

I can’t help but think that “Guys with Kids” which is on after “Animal Practice” must be circling the bowl right behind it. ---

“Goodbye Animal Practice, at least you’ll always have that time you pissed everyone off during the Olympics.” So _that’s_ when I saw it. I knew I hadn’t deliberately watched it. ---

I hated it when they interrupted the Olympics closing ceremony to show that crappy Jerry Seinfeld reality show four years ago and I hated it when they did the same thing this year with that crappy sit-com. I’m guessing about the ‘crappy’ part since I didn’t watch either one. So good riddance. Maybe that’ll teach them not to interrupt the Olympics with their crappy shows. Naaaaaah! ---

So do any of the new series have staying power? I haven’t watched many of them, but surely one of them is going to turn out to be worthwhile. Nashville, perhaps? ---

I never even _heard_ of Made in Jersey. I did watch 10 minutes of Animal Practice and was unamused. Gave up Revolution after one episode for the stupidity. I am enjoying Nashville though, after two episodes. ---

Of course, NBC is replacing _Animal Practice_ with _Whitney_. I am guessing they are just writing off that time slot. ---

I only saw Animal Practice once. I didn’t hate it, but didn’t like it enough to remember to watch it. I think JoAnna Garcia is smokin hot. ---

> [@bump](#): > > I can’t help but think that “Guys with Kids” which is on after “Animal Practice” must be circling the bowl right behind it. Saw about 10 minutes of _Guys with Kids_. That was more than enough. And I wanted to like it because of ex _Whitest Kid You Know_ Zach Cregger. but it was written by hacks. HACKS! ---

> [@Ephemera](#): > > I’m liking Go On. Yeah, I saw a few and didn’t dislike it, but just as with Animal Practice, I didn’t like it enough to remember to watch it. I have always enjoyed Mathew Perry’s work and I hope he gets to remain working. ---

I remember seeing an ad for Animal Practice and predicting that it would get canceled extremely quickly, I think my specific prediction was by 3 episodes. I have no idea what the TV execs were thinking green lighting a show like that. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/animal-practice-made-in-jersey-canceled/638239.md?page=2)
