Adios Laughlin

This just in.

After a single outing in its Sunday-at-8 regular time slot (the show had been seen in a special sneak-preview last Thursday night, leading out of CSI), CBS’s new fall musical/drama Viva Laughlin has been cancelled. The Sunday-night ratings for the show that made even ABC's Cavemen look appealing were abysmal… some of the lowest that I’ve ever seen for a Sunday-at-8 series on CBS (yes, even lower than the late, lamented Goodnight, Beantown - now when was the last time you read a reference to that show!).

Coming in off of the bench for CBS to take the place of Viva will be the eye's old reality standby, The Amazing Race.
