March 29, 2005
By Marc Berman
Sony Pictures Television has canceled low-rated freshman strips Life & Style and Pat Croce: Moving In. Season to-date, and based on 15 talk shows, Pat Croce is tied at No. 12 with a 0.9 household rating, while Life & Style is dead last at a mere 0.5, according to Nielsen Media Research. A combination of original and repeat telecasts is expected to air for both series through September.
Elsewhere, although Warner Bros. has remained silent on the status of The Larry Elder Show, which is also not expected back, three other talkers -- NBC Universal’s The Jane Pauley Show and Home Delivery, and Twentieth Television’s veteran Good Day Live -- have also officially received their walking papers. No word, meanwhile, on the status of Sony’s planned Robin Quivers Show.
In more positive syndication news, NBC Universal has renewed growing daytime strip Starting Over for a third season, with clearances to-date for 2005-06 in more than 92 percent of the country. Starting Over, which will open season three poised for more growth with approximately 35 local market upgrades, has been sold on stations from a number of broadcast groups including NBC, Hearst-Argyle, Gannett, CBS/Viacom, Tribune, Belo, Media General, Raycom, Nexstar, Sinclair, LIN, Meredith, Clear Channel and Gray.
Also, Twentieth Television’s remake of A Current Affair, currently airing on the Fox owned-and-operated stations, has been cleared on WTVH/Syracuse, WFRV/Green Bay, KOB/Albuquerque and KFRE/Fresno for a fall launch. And yesterday marked the debut of A Current Affair on KUSI/San Diego.
