No Medium Love Lost

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

In a move that has fueled the feud between the peacock and the eye, NBC canceled its five year mid-season replacement: Medium.

In a related story, CBS has decided to keep Medium going (it's a CBS TV studio production) and place the show between Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs.

CBS has floundered to find a show besides Moonlight to fill the chasm on Friday nights.

NBC let go not only Medium but My Name is Earl. Where's NBC going besides bankrupt?

The lineup is already streamlined. I hope the peacock doesn't believe Jay Leno in the last prime time slot five nights a week will save a captain-less ship.
