I am not surprised it is being cancelled - I do find myself holding out some home that it will burn off on Sunday afternoons sometime this summer. One or two viewing of those atrocious previews for "The Slap" was enough to warn me off of that, even though some of the buzz I heard made me want to check it out. Perhaps the show is better than the previews made it seem (it would almost have to be) -if so, this may be one of the best examples of all time of a marketing campaign ruining a programs chances to be successful. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
