The news comes after yet another disastrous performance for the series. Last night's installment took a distant fifth place among adults 18-49 in the 8:00/7:00c hour (a 1.6 rating) according to preliminary numbers, ahead of only "One Tree Hill" on the WB (a 1.2 rating).
The article notes that the final two episodes will be on
NBC.com Thursday (last night) and Friday and that the two episodes will air back to back on Saturday on NBC at 8:00 PM Eastern.
