"Bells" toll

The worst news in the stream of news I've posted today... From Hollywood Reporter:
LOS ANGELES -- The honeymoon is over for David E. Kelley's midseason Fox series The Wedding Bells. Production will be shut down after completion of the seventh episode. After receiving decent sampling in its premiere behind American Idol, Bells quickly faded when it moved into its regular Friday time slot, most recently drawing 4.5 million viewers.

While we've been pleased with the show creatively, and David's writing was first-rate, (Bells) just didn't secure the ratings we'd hoped for," Fox said in a statement. Four episodes of Bells have aired. For now, the network said it intends to air the remaining three segments. Bells starred Teri Polo, KaDee Strickland and Sarah Jones as three sister running a wedding-planning business.

Keep putting good shows on Fridays people, really. It's a great idea and probably the best way to make a show succeed. I'm really annoyed at this one -- it may not be the best David Kelley show out there, but it's still better than most Spring additions...

I agree. This show was great and it is a shame it was cancelled. They will probably replace it with something not nearly as good.
