Looks like this one's a goner.
'Day Break' Goes Dark at ABC
'Show Me the Money' also pulled
December 15, 2006
The pre-Christmas housecleaning of ABC's schedule continued Friday, with the crime drama "Day Break" and game show "Show Me the Money" being shown the door.
The moves come a day after ABC booted the comedy "Help Me Help You" from its lineup, opting instead to run back-to-back episodes of "Big Day" in the 9 p.m. Tuesday spot for the next few weeks.
The dumping of "Show Me the Money" is a bit of a surprise considering that just last week ABC ordered six more episodes of the William Shatner-hosted quiz show and announced it would move to Tuesdays after the new year. That won't be happening now; news reports say the network still has several finished episodes waiting to air, but there aren't at the moment any set plans to burn them off.
As for "Day Break," its future was already in doubt when ABC announced that two comedies, "The Knights of Prosperity" and "In Case of Emergency," would take over its 9 p.m. Wednesday timeslot starting Jan. 3. That would have left the serialized thriller starring Taye Diggs without a home a month before its scheduled conclusion.
The decision follows a weak ratings performance this week, with both shows hitting new lows in the key adults 18-49 demographic (1.6 for "Money" and 1.4 for "Day Break").
Reruns of "George Lopez" and "According to Jim" will fill the two hours from 8 to 10 p.m. Wednesday for the next two weeks (both shows begin new seasons on the night in January). "America's Funniest Home Videos" will slide into "Show Me the Money's" Tuesday spot starting Jan. 2.
Day Break goes dark.....
