Following Made in Jersey being yanked by CBS last week -- plus, NBC killing Dane Cook's new series before it even aired -- we have our next cancellation of the fall TV season, as NBC is pulling Animal Practice (starring Weeds' Justin Kirk) from the air.
The struggling comedy, which had sunk to a new ratings low this week, will be replaced, as of November 14th, by Whitney, returning for its second season.
This comes on the heels of NBC's last-minute decision to not debut Whitney and Community this Friday as originally scheduled, as it became more likely they would instead use those series to fill in gaps in the future on other nights. Indeed, Whitney replacing Animal Practice seemed like an obvious call, given Animal Practice's weak ratings and the fact that Whitney would be paired with a show far more compatible for it than Community - Guys with Kids, the only other multi-camera sitcom currently airing on the network.
Of course, Community fans still want to know when they'll see new episodes of that beloved series. For now, I'm sticking with my guess that it'll very likely return early next year, replacing 30 Rock on Thursday nights, once that show has aired its final thirteen episodes.

I’m surprised to find Animal Practice cancelled so fast too. I just started enjoying the show on TV with my PrimeTime Anytime feature. I hate when shows get cancelled especially if they are good ones with a good chance. Another thing I don’t like is having to choose what shows I want to record more on primetime when there’re so many. My family wasn't happy with me tying up all the receivers with my recordings, since I work in the evenings. Then my coworker at DISH told me about the Hopper DVR and the awesome PrimeTime Anytime feature. I get all four networks recorded every night and it only takes up one TV. The family can watch what they want without having to be stuck watching recordings all the time. I love this feature and there’s not a single person I know who doesn’t love this amazing feature.
