NBC pulled the love-it-or-hate-it show off the network lineup a week ahead of schedule. The plan all along was to premiere "Donnellys," a crime drama, on March 5, but "Studio 60" had its lowest ratings of the season on Monday night - a 2.8 among adults 18 to 49 - so maybe the network brass figured enough is enough. NBC said the remaining "Studio" episodes will air at a later date (like maybe opposite the season finale of "American Idol"?).
