Show	Status	Notes
The Mole	Permanent Hiatus	Plenty of cancelled television programs deserve another chance to attract viewers four and a half years after going off the air. And then there's The Mole.
The Mountain	Permanent Hiatus
The Nine	Permanent Hiatus	As if they haven't been through enough, being held hostage in a bank by two robbers while mysterious things happened, now we're sending The Nine to Permanent Hiatus. What can we say? We like to see people suffer.
The O.C.	Permanent Hiatus	This show surprised everyone with its stellar first season. Great ratings, an awesome soundtrack, and fun and fresh dialogue helped make the young stars of the show -- and, perhaps more importantly, the tradition of Chrismukkah -- household names and instant pop-culture icons. From Death Cab for Cutie to Peter Gallagher's eyebrows, everything this show touched turned to gold. And then Season Two rolled around, and it all got old. Even the adorable Seth Cohen became annoying. The welcome death of Marissa and a strong fourth season wasn't enough to undo the damage, and the sun set on The O.C.
The Office	Active
The Osbournes	Permanent Hiatus	If there ever was a case of the mighty falling, it was this show. When it was rocking, stee made sure to give credit where credit was due as Ozzy fell out of chairs, Kelly and Jack fought as only siblings could, and Sharon loved her doggies. By the time Stee abandoned it, Pamie was left recapping Jack's dildo collection. Sad but true. Watching this show was like watching a loved one hang on to his last days because he knows you're in the room. We walked away, and let this show die with dignity and peace. The Osbourne family, however, will continue to whore their hearts out in any medium. (Buy the book!)
The Others	Permanent Hiatus	We thought TWoP users would dig a show about the supernatural and freaky. We thought wrong. (Either that, or y'all get your fill of "supernatural and freaky" at the hands of the Buffy wardrobe department.) But you can still read up on the first eight episodes right here. Spookay!
The Practice	Permanent Hiatus	After writing, "How many plots does it take for DEK to be redundant, yet again?" far too many times, TWoP has blessedly done what ABC is far too scared to do -- get out the big gaffer hook and jam it right into Dylan McDermott's massive ego. Whew. While The Firm will continue defending rapists who are innocent, murderers who never committed the crime, and friends we've never met before, as well as fighting with insect-like District Attorneys, TWoP has realized that one more year of recapping the same story line over and over and over and over again would finally put us over the edge.
The River	Permanent Hiatus	Unfortunately, the failure of this ABC horror series wasn't the death knell of the found-footage craze, but it's failure may at least make TV networks think twice before attempting to cash in.
The Street	Permanent Hiatus	There was a time when Darren Star could do no wrong. He was riding high with Sex in the City and had a critically-acclaimed freshman sitcom, Grosse Pointe... and then disaster struck: he somehow convinced Fox to give him $2.3 million per episode for a new hour-long set in a young, hip New York City investment bank. Problem? Well, he was so busy finding ways to make the show lurid and pretty, he didn't notice that his casting people had quietly assembled the most unlikable and unbankable ensemble since Down Periscope. In fact, seven episodes was a shockingly long run, considering.
The Voice	Active
The Wire	Permanent Hiatus	Perhaps never has quality been so great while witnessed by so few. We're glad we were with the minority.
There & Back	Permanent Hiatus	For those of you under twenty years of age: O-Town's Ashley Parker Angel got his own show about how he's all down and out now and is trying to make it solo in the music business. For those of you over thirty years of age: it would be like if Jon Knight of New Kids on the Block got his own show about how he's all down and out now and is trying to make it solo in the music business. For those of you between the ages of twenty and thirty: trust us, you wouldn't have cared either.
Third Watch	Permanent Hiatus	Was it a show about paramedics? Firefighters? Cops? The intricacies of the relationships between these working groups? Yes and no. This show, from ER's John Wells, went from a New York-based action show to a character-driven drama riddled with implausibilities. And you know what? Only one of the characters was even that interesting. While the show had a creative infusion early in the second season, its boredom level rose soon after, dooming it, on Television Without Pity, to a life of Permanent Hiatus. You can still read Nicole's and Omar's recaps, though.
Time of Your Life	Permanent Hiatus	Bailey's ex-girlfriend had the shortest Time of Her Life in all of fourteen episodes. Be glad you weren't there to see Keckler's liver swell with each new show as Sarah twitched, squealed, stripped and sang. Aren't those the signs of the Apocalypse? Smell ya in the unemployment line, Hepwitt!
Titans	Permanent Hiatus	Remember the Titans? Probably, few of you do. Actually, very few of you knew about the show in the first place, which is why it got canceled. Well, what kept you all away? The bad acting? The recycled storylines? The horrendous dialogue? Or was it the total absence of even one likable and morally redeemable character? Titans: Incest never looked so glamorous.
Top Chef	Active
Top Chef Just Desserts	Permanent Hiatus	Dessert isn't always the best part of the meal.
Top Chef Masters	Permanent Hiatus	Not as tasty as the original flavor.
Top Design	Permanent Hiatus	Bravo had already sunk its meaty hooks into us with the delicious thrill of watching fashion designers and chefs compete for fame and fortune, so a show where aspiring interior designers vied for the same thing in the same manner seemed like a natural. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, nothing -- save for twelve not-all-that-interesting contestants, wildly inconsistent judging, and a dismissal catchphrase so forced and banal, it had us running toward the exits after the first show. But we toughed it out for the entire ten-episode first season, and you, the train-wreck-loving public, are the richer for it.
