ABC Pulls the Plug on Work It After Two Episodes
It looks like Work It just didn't work out for ABC.
The cross-dressing comedy, which starred Amaury Nolasco and Benjamin Koldyke, was canned after just two episodes, following a bit of a firestorm from the lesbian and gay community (and low ratings to boot).
So, what went down?
Will Grey's Anatomy, Cougar Town and Pan Am Survive? ABC's Big Boss Tackles Tough Q's
Cougar Town fans, the wait is over. Or wait, no, sorry, it's actually not at all.
At today's ABC press tour today, ABC President Paul Lee answered the tough question of when Cougar Town is coming back, and why the comedy Work It (which was bashed by critics and viewers alike) made it on the air instead. Reporters also asked Lee about the fate of dramas Grey's Anatomy and Pan Am...
ABC Picks Up Revenge and Suburgatory for Full Season, Orders More Scripts for Happy Endings
Revenge has never been so sweet.

Happy Endings Cast Talks a Bit About Season Two, but Mostly Just Cracks Us Up
Full disclosure? When we talked with the cast of Happy Endings, only about 15 percent of what we got from them was scoop on season two. The other 85 percent was mostly Adam Pally, Casey Wilson, Eliza Coupe, Zachary Knighton, Elisha Cuthbert and Damon Wayans Jr. making us laugh. How can you be mad about the lack of show info when you have an amazing cast like that cracking you up?
However, the season-two scoop we did get was pretty good, especially when we asked them to tell us about the first episode. Plus, we also got them to admit what they were doing when they got news of Happy Endings' renewal. And just to warn you all, one of the castmembers was in a really dark place when he heard...

Will Dr. Cameron Be Called Back to House? Jennifer Morrison Tells All—Plus Previews Her New Show!
Ping! Paging Dr. Cameron to House for what could very well be the final season. Dr. Cameron to the final season of House to wrap up your storyline. Thank you.
OK, so that was us trying to page Jennifer Morrison hospital-style so she can come back to House for her send-off. Do you think it worked? Well, we chatted with Morrison at the ABC TCA party, and she not only gave us her thoughts on coming back to House, but she also pretty much admitted that if she could marry her new show Once Upon a Time, she totally would…

Team Brian or Team Alek? Grey Damon Helps Us Dissect Love Triangle On Nine Loves of Chloe King
If you didn't fall in love with our TV crush Grey Damon back when he was on Friday Night Lights, then hopefully you've been tracking him on his new show, The Nine Lives of Chloe King on ABC Family.
However, if you still haven't jumped on the Grey train, now is the perfect time! First of all, just look at that face. Easy on the eyes, right? Second, we had a nice chat with him about playing good guy Brian on Nine Lives, and how happy he was to see FNL get the Emmy love it so deserves. Plus, is Grey Team Brian or Team Alek? His answer may surprise you…
Good Morning America to Botox Mom: We're Canceling That $10K Check!
Botox Mom might not be cashing in on her bogus story.
A day after coming forward and saying she made up the tale of injecting her 8-year-old daughter with the wrinkle-removing concoction, Sheen Upton is getting stiffed herself—ABC says it won't be paying her the $10,000 the network's Good Morning America forked over to secure her first TV interview as a "photo licensing fee."
Here's where things stand in the sordid saga.
First Look Video: Check Out Kristin Chenoweth's New Show Good Christian Bitches (Er, Belles)
OK, if ABC can't get clearance to call this show Good Christian Bitches (the original title of the pilot script), they shouldn't go with the mealy-mouthed Good Christian Belles. Instead, they might as well pay Bravo for the rights to name it Real Housewives of Dallas, and then we'll all know what's what.
The trailers we saw for GCB at ABC's upfront presentation made it look like one of the best things going, and who would expect anything less with a talent lineup like Kristin Chenoweth, Leslie Bibb and the universally beloved Annie Potts?

ABC Orders New Angels, Belles and Sexy Stewardesses, Cancels Seven Shows
The soapiest of the big five networks is staying the course with their 2011-12 series pickups, as ABC has ordered a slew of new female-centric, serialized series including Good Christian Belles (which looks to be a higher-quality successor to the long-past-desperate Desperate Housewives), fairy-tale saga Once Upon a Time, workplace series Pan Am and oh yeah, the return of jiggle TV: the silly, scantily clad Charlie's Angels reboot.
Meanwhile, the cast of Brothers & Sisters is out there somewhere figuring out a plan B, because the long-running Walker family drama has finally been canceled. What else is dead at the Alphabet? And where's Cougar Town going?
