Has Just shoot me been canceled? I wonder because it has been weeks since I have seen it on NBC and their website lists no new shows in the immediate future.It was originally scheduled to return on February 25 however NBC decided to replace the series with the second season of "Dog Eat Dog" (with reality being so hot lately and all). Those plans got shelved recently as NBC will now air its revival of "Let's Make a Deal" (which was originally scheduled to air on Saturday nights) in the Tuesday, 8-9 p.m. eastern slot beginning March 4. NBC made the switch after seeing solid numbers for its "Outrageous Game Show Moments" specials in the Tuesday slot. "Dog" will instead return this summer.
So far "Deal's" run is only expected to be five weeks meaning no "Just Shoot Me" until at the very least April 8. With the series' ratings in the toilet (it's literally NBC's least watched show this year) none of these moves are really a surprise and expectations for an eighth season are very low. More than likely you'll see the 13 episodes left in its order burned off this summer.
Pitted against Fox's hit American Idol, the show averaged a 1.8 rating and a 5 share.Man, that's just a smidge higher than PAX-TV ratings.
