Gee who woulda figured??:
ABC has pulled the low-rated freshman comedy "The Knights of Prosperity," leaving the show's remaining episodes in limbo.
The network announced on Monday (March 5) that the next three episodes of Donal Logue-centric heist comedy will be off the schedule, starting this Wednesday. The episode titled "Operation: Rent Money" will be replaced by a repeat of "According to Jim," while repeats of "George Lopez" will take the "Prosperity" slot the following two weeks.
ABC's scheduling release stops short of calling the series cancelled, but merely says "Not yet rescheduled" next to the three pulled episodes.
"Knights of Prosperity" had a bumpy road this season. ABC initially scheduled the series for a fall launch, but held it off until January, ostensibly to allow for additional promotional time. The comedy, focusing on a group of inept thieves plotting to rob Mick Jagger, was crushed by early episodes of "American Idol" in its original 9 p.m. ET time period and shifted to 8:30 p.m. without gaining any traction.
Despite somewhat positive reviews, through its first 8 airings, "Knights" averaged just over 5.03 million viewers.

"Lets Rob Mick Jagger" cancelled. ABC to launch new show - "I'm Sammy Hagar"
"I'M SAMMY HAGAR" is a short film about a David Lee Roth-obsessed karaoke superstar who finds the true meaning of love through the lyrics of Sammy Hagar. While trying to maintain the sleazy/confident facade of David Lee Roth, Samson (Joseph Anthony) fails to realize a relationship with Tiffany (Gina Samardge), while making up fictitious stories downplaying David Lee Roth's partying lifestyle. In the end, Samson must realize that it's got what it takes, so why can't this be love? |

Show was funny and chick was smoking hot...Mick could have helped if he would have appeared more than 7 minutes for the entire 5-7 episodes.....at least we still have "Dancing with the Stars" and Faux News for comic relief. |

Theres a pilot in teh works for this fall:
Lets Find Ronnies Guitar..... |

Personally, I'm more excited for the Ronettes. I was never much of a Van Halen fan anyway, even though I like some of their songs and respect Eddie for his mastery of his instrument. For some reason Van Halen never caught my facsination. But that's just me. |

Out two days last week....feeling better, but somewhat discomforted. Using perianal cleasing lotion to soothe area after each bowel movement as well as antibacteria-ointment. |

Good luck...you'll probably need a nurses aid to help you at the house(hopefully not a male nurse).

I hope you have a swift recovery. Transplants can be tricky.

Speaking ON TOPIC, the show sucked and was embarassingly painful to watch. This is difficult for me to admit because I am the most supportive of MICK's solo efforts of every kind, but the TV show was NOT a highlight of MICK's career. Sorry MICK! |
