 Bye bye Emeril??
LOS ANGELES - NBC is apparently not "happy, happy" with "Emeril," because the network has decided to replace the freshman sitcom with leftovers and J. Lo for November sweeps.
"Emeril," which stars Food Network chef Emeril Lagasse as, basically, himself, will be replaced by reruns of other NBC comedies, a Jennifer Lopez concert special and an hourlong "Three Sisters" for November, according to Variety. It will likely return in December.
NBC was initially pleased with ratings for the show, which, while not spectacular (6.1 rating /10 share for the premiere), improved the network's performance over last year in the competitive 8 p.m. Tuesday time slot. Its numbers have since fallen to below a 5 rating, however, and this week it finished last in its time period among adults 18-49, the demographic group coveted by advertisers.
