NBC Recuses 'The Law Firm' After Two Weeks
By Brian Ford Sullivan

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- NBC has quietly yanked its David E. Kelley-produced reality series "The Law Firm" after just two weeks on the air.

Repeats of "Will & Grace" and "Scrubs" are set to fill the Thursday, 9:00/8:00c hour this week and next according to scheduling updates released by the network today.

A lackluster 5.08 million viewers tuned into "Firm's" premiere on July 28, building off its repeat lead-ins "Joey" (4.22 million) and "Will & Grace" (4.37 million). Said numbers dipped to 4.04 million (or 20.47%) for its second episode on August 4, according to preliminary Nielsen data, down from both "Joey" (4.36 million) and "Will & Grace" (4.09 million).

It's not clear if NBC plans to reschedule the show's six remaining installments for a later date or burn them off on cable sibling Bravo, which has been repurposing the episodes.

Kelley, David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Jonathan Pontell and Robert Breech are the executive producers of "The Law Firm," which comes from Renegade 83, Inc. in association with David E. Kelley Productions and 20th Century Fox Television.

Looks like the Law Firm has closed its doors before it even opened

It had 2 episodes. It barely beat The Will which was a reality show that aired on CBS on Saturdays Last January that lasted one episode and got one of the lowest ratings in Primetime History.
