From Zap2It:
ABC Impeaches 'Commander In Chief'
The Allen administration, which started off with such promise, is coming
to a rather ignominious end.
ABC has yanked its freshman drama "Commander In Chief" from the schedule
for the rest of May sweeps after the show performed poorly in its new,
and exceedingly difficult, Thursday time period. Newsmagazine
"Primetime" will take its place at 10 p.m. ET Thursdays for the
remaining three weeks of the season.

I wonder if the uproar over CiC's portrayal of Prince George's County,
Md. was a side factor in the decision.

Was there an uproar? Must have been a quiet one as far as uproars go. I
live in the DC area and heard nothing about it.

Nah. More likely it was when ABC looked at the demos and saw that in
the 18-49 year old demo, "Commander-in-Chief" was barely ahead of
Univision's "Aqui y Ahora." When a Big Four TV show can't do much
better than a Univision show in that demo, it's toast.

I hear Telefutra will be bought by a separate company. I wonder who's
the best fit for the rest of it (Univision)? Televisa can't own more
than 25%. I'd talk about C.I.C., but it's sooooooooo uninteresting!!!
