Yesterday ABC canceled the Anne Heche led drama Men in Trees. And it looks like they are all set to cancel the female driven Women’s Murder Club. Like Men in Trees, WMC suffered a scheduling change when it came back from the writer’s strike last week. While its numbers were good for Friday it did not do so well last week, which was its first time back since the writer’s strike. A new episode airs tonight and then one airs next week. I suspect that the fate of this show hinges on its performance tonight though as the networks have their Upfronts in NYC next week. That means that will have made their decision by then. Supposedly both Eli Stone and Women’s Murder Club are on the cusp of being cancelled by ABC - and apparently only one can stay. Will it be the male-driven or the female-driven show that survives? Why not tune into Women’s Murder Club tonight, or even Tivo it cause that counts too, so that we can make sure that women keep their place on television.
