NBC cancels 'Earl'
May 19, 2009

Belt-tightening broadcasters continue to take hard-line stances against older, modestly performing shows.

NBC is putting an end to Thursday night comedy mainstay "My Name Is Earl".

Sources also say there's some potential silver lining: "Earl" studio 20th TV is talking to Fox and ABC about one of the networks possibly picking up the comedy.

ABC in particular has been receptive to picking up rival shows, having taken "Scrubs" after NBC canceled the series last year and committing to take on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" should CBS cancel the series (there's still no official word on "Christine," though ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said this morning that last he heard CBS was renewing the show).
