Mistrial

Jeez, I guess TV stars aren't immune to the shitty economy either. In a rather shocking development, Dylan McDermott, Lara Flynn Boyle and four other cast members got axed from The Practice today. What really baffles me is that the show was on the brink of cancellation two weeks ago, but was renewed by ABC at the last minute. Why bother bringing it back if it's going to be in such a severely bastardized form? I stopped watching this show a few seasons ago, but it's obvious that the show can't survive if you try to replace its marquee stars- this isn't Menudo here. I predict the revamped version will be cancelled by Christmas.
