Cancelled: Crossing Jordan, Studio 60. Renewed: Scrubs?

NBC is pulling the plug on Crossing Jordan and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Studio 60 by West Wing’s Aaron Sorkin looks at network television, and Nine has the rights here in Australia. Starring Matthew Perry in a dramatic role, it may have been too smart or too inward-looking for the wider American market.

But Scrubs appears to have been saved from the same fate with early word that it will win a final season of 18 episodes.

Screening in Australia on the Seven Network, it recently won a Fugly Award as the “show most messed around by networks.”

Elsewhere, the future of Law & Order remains shaky. As previously reported, this is separate to the ongoing viability of the SVU spin-off.
