Which shows got the ax?

Cancelled!
Which TV shows got the ax
Zap2it and MSN Entertainment

We'll try to break it to you gently. So first, some good news: Fans of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" can ease their withdrawal pains with "Angel," because the WB renewed the supernatural spinoff for another season. NBC has given another chance to critical dramatic favorite "Boomtown" and to comedies "Ed" and "Good Morning Miami." "The Practice" won its case and will be back next fall, in its familiar home of Sunday night -- although without its biggest stars, due to budget cuts.

But, alas, other shows were not so lucky. "Fastlane" has screeched to a halt, "My Big Fat Greek Life" was a big fat ratings bust, and Andy Richter no longer controls the universe. "Are You Hot?" was not. "John Doe" shall remain nameless. And actor Scott Foley had a really bad spring: He lost not only his sitcom, "A.U.S.A.," but his wife, Jennifer Garner ("Alias" Sydney Bristow).

Here are the casualties of the cancellation ax:

ABC
"All-American Girl," "Are You Hot?," "Dinotopia," "Lost at Home," "MDs," "Miracles," "Push, Nevada," "Regular Joe," "That Was Then," "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and "Veritas: The Quest"

And although it hasn't been officially cancelled, "The Drew Carey Show" doesn't have a place on the fall schedule. So cherish the original episodes that will air this summer, they appear to be the last ones we're going to see for awhile.

CBS
"The Agency," "Bram and Alice," "My Big Fat Greek Life," "Presidio Med," "Queens Supreme," "Robbery Homicide Division" and "Touched by an Angel"

Also missing from the schedule: veteran comedy "Becker." CBS says there's still a chance the Ted Danson series could return for a sixth season, but it doesn't sound optimistic.

FOX
"30 Seconds to Fame," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," "Fastlane," "Firefly," "Futurama," "girls club," "John Doe," "Married by America," "Meet the Marks," "Mr. Personality" and "The Pitts"

NBC
"A.U.S.A." "Hidden Hills," "In-Laws," "Kingpin," "Just Shoot Me," "Mister Sterling," "Providence" and "Watching Ellie"

UPN
"Abby," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Haunted," "Platinum" and "The Twilight Zone"

WB
"Birds of Prey," "Black Sash," "Dawson's Creek," "Do Over," "Family Affair," "Greetings from Tucson," "Off Centre" and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch"

The Agency was pulled? That's a bit of a surprise. Thought it was doing well.

i'm surprised to see just shoot me and mr. sterling will be gone.

i would have thought that would prompt more fanfare.
