ABC Cancels Ailing ‘Commander in Chief’

In perhaps one of the biggest screw ups in a long time, ABC’s Commander in Chief, after months of changing show runners, multiple hiatus’s and changing timeslots, has been canceled. The show debited last fall as the highest rated new program on television with 17 million viewers. It was actually good too. But after show creator Rod Lurie was booted, Steven Bocho couldn’t maintain it, former Lurie writer Dee Johnson couldn’t save it and viewership plummeted to 7.5 million, the network pulled the plug. It;s unfortunate becasue the show had great promise and was on its way to success. Not sure who’s at fault here since there were so many multiple changes but it is sad to see another quality TV show get cancelled.
