ABC has pulled the plug on Brothers & Sisters and V.

As reported by Deadline, a serious effort was underway by ABC to find a price point at which Brothers & Sisters could return for an abbreviated sixth and final season. There was even talk of Calista Flockhart only appearing in six episodes. Ultimately, the network decided to give the post-Desperate Housewives real estate to one of its new shows.
