The New Fall Show Death Pool contest is over – with a very surprising “winner”. I don’t mean surprising because it was dropped – just that it was dropped first.

ABC announced today that they are dropping the new fall series “Big Shots”. What’s truly amazing is that the show still have 3 brand new episodes that ABC will not be airing. With the writer’s strike in full swing, and original scripted programming being a rare thing in the coming weeks and months, you would think that they’d go ahead and run the 3 remaining episodes of the series.

Instead, however, ABC will be running reruns of Private Practice.

Wow. This show must have been really bad.

The show, for those of you that missed it (which I assume is pretty much all of you) was about 4 CEOs (Michael Vartan, Christopher Titus, Joshua Malina and Dylan McDermott) with “issues”. I’m amazed that the American public didn’t embrace this one. I mean, COME ON – what’s easier to relate to than being a rich and powerful head of a corporation…but with “problems”?

Anyway – you can stick a fork in this baby…it’s done.
