NBC has just dropped the ax [1] on two of its freshman series: A to Z and Bad Judge. Both brand-new comedies have been airing on Thursday nights to mediocre ratings, and like Manhattan Love Story [2], they are among the first shows of the season to be canceled. A to Z and Bad Judge won't just disappear; they'll finish out their initial 13-episode orders, meaning that they each still have eight episodes to air. Catch up on all the other cancellations and renewals here [3].
