“Kath & Kim” Canceled

According to this TV grid at the Los Angeles Times, “Kath & Kim” has not been renewed for season 2 – which means it has been canceled.

Canceled
Life, Kath & Kim, Kings, Knight Rider, My Own Worst Enemy, Lipstick Jungle, Crusoe, ER

NBC will be officially announcing all their programming for the season on Tuesday, so we will know 100% by then! But since “Parks and Recreation” is taking the old time slot that K&K had, it doesn’t look good for the show. :frown:
