CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- After weeks of dodging, NBC executives confirmed yesterday it has pulled the plug on its freshman drama "The Lyon's Den."

Production was completed on its initial 13-episode order last month
however the series has been absent from the Peacock's schedule
since November 30. The news leaves seven installments of the series on the shelf. No permanent replacement for the show's Sunday, 10:00/9:00c time slot has been named.

"Den" averaged 9.6 million viewers for its six-episode run,
retaining just 66.45% on average of lead-in "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

Remi Aubuchon, Rob Lowe, Kevin Falls, Brad Grey,
Bernie Brillstein and Dan Sackheim were the executive producers of the series, a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Brad Grey Television.

*adds up tally of canceled shows*
I think that's nine so far.

The fact no one replied to this thread pretty much shows why the show got canceled.

Yes, I concur.
I don't know why Rob Lowe (or anyone else) thought he could carry a show. He hasn't been a "star" since the '80's.

Now I won't have to watch anymore stupid commercials for the show. Good riddance.

Rob Lowe is currently doing another TV movie for Stephen King so he's not out of work yet.
