NBC, performing a maneuver not unlike the one it pulled last year at this time with “Law and Order: Trial by Jury,” is on the verge of pulling the new midseason entry, “Heist.”
Apparently, the show did really well when it premiered in the Wednesday-at-10-PM slot, so the network moved it to the 9 PM slot…against “American Idol” and “Lost,” where, shockingly, it did poorly. So instead of moving it back to 10 PM, the network is now threatening to cancel the show altogether.
I understand that sometimes you have to cut your losses…but when a story has a progressing storyline, you’d think they could at least finish the plot line before yanking it. I mean, way to reward the viewers who have been watching the show. At the very least, let’s hope they make any remaining episodes available online…
