TV Cancellations:

#1.)  ABC is yanking "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" from their schedule.  Technically, the show hasn't been canceled, but that seems inevitable at this point.

 --The show, which featured former "Dawson's Creek" star JAMES VAN DER BEEK playing a fictionalized version of himself, was in its second season.

--11 episodes have already aired this season, and eight more have been produced.  It's unclear when or if they'll see the light of day.

#2.)  TBS has canceled "The Wedding Band" . . . their musical comedy starring BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN.  The first season finale aired this weekend . . . and naturally, this means there won't be a second season.
