Ya know, it's crap like this that really pisses us off. Last year, when ABC debuted Darren Star's Cashmere Mafia and NBC debuted Candace Bushnell's Lipstick Jungle, we only had room for one post-Sex and the City network replacement. We opted for Cashmere Mafia, and oh what a decision that was to regret; ABC canceled the series faster than Star and Bushnell's friendship fell apart. So, fine, we went on Hulu and devoted at least several afternoons to absorbing Brooke Shields' version of sexy. And now what did NBC go and do? Canceled the freakin' series! (They also canceled Christian Slater's embarrassing My Own Worst Enemy, so they can't be crazy people.) And this is what's wrong with television today: Series premieres, sophomore seasons — none of that gives viewers any confidence that the TV shows they invest in will be around for any length of time. And yet somehow NBC's Knight Rider, which early on we concluded wouldn't last longer than a 3-month pre-me in ICU, somehow gets a full season order. We're quite confident this is Ben Silverman's personal way of hating us.
