Scrubs, Better Off Ted, FlashForward Cancelled

Wendy — Fri, 14 May 2010 11:06:41 +0000

News that Scrubs, Better Off Ted and FlashForward are cancelled came last night, as reported by EW.com. None of these are surprises, given Scrubs’ and FlashForward’s dwindling ratings over the year, and the lack of promotional love for the awesome Better Off Ted all but sealed its fate.

We reported back in February that it looked like Better Off Ted would be canceled, FlashForward really lost momentum and the revamped Scrubs just never got off the ground.

And in case anyone cares, Alyssa Milano’s new series, Romantically Challenged was also canceled… because it was comedically challenged.

ABC has yet to comment on the cancellations.

Well… frak. News that Better Off Ted’s Andrea Anders was cast in the pilot of Matthew Perry’s new show “Mr. Sunshine” seemed to indicate that “Ted” would be canceled.

Now comes word that Better Off Ted star Jay Harrington has also been cast in a new sitcom pilot – the NBC comedy “Nathan vs. Nurture,” Variety reports.

Jay Harrington would play a heart surgeon “who reunites with his birth father and underachieving brothers 35 years after his adoption.”

News of Better Off Ted’s cancellation has not yet been announced, but with Harrington and Anders being cast on other shows, the outlook doesn’t look great.

Jay Harrington tells EW.com, “I have had many conversations with [Ted creator] Victor Fresco, and we are both extremely hopeful that ABC will give us [another] shot, so we shall see. Please share my sincere gratitude with the BOT fans that have stuck with us.”
