The second cancellation of the season has happened and it is NBC's
Animal Practice. The odd comedy, set in a veterinary hospital was the subject of criticism when NBC interrupted the Closing Ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics to air a commercial free preview episode. The numbers were ok then given the huge lead-in but it was DOA when it returned in September to 5.2 million viewers and a 1.4 demo. The show was critically panned and the ratings only dropped from the timeslot premiere numbers. As many,
including me, predicted
, Animal Practice will be replaced by season two of
Whitney which was originally slotted for Friday nights. That gives the Wednesday companion
Guys with Kids a multicam comedy as a lead-in.
Guys hasn't been getting good ratings but it has built on
Animal Practice every week so NBC is giving it some more time.
Whitney won't premiere until November 14 though so the fans of
Animal Practice (wherever you are) can see three more episodes. I hated the pilot
(read my review) so I'm not sad to see this one go.
Animal Practice joins
Made in Jersey on the instant flops list.
