Memphis Beat axed
Written by . Published: October 16 2011
TV bosses have cancelled Jason Lee's cop drama Memphis Beat after just two seasons.
The show, which stars My Name Is Earl actor Lee as a police detective in Memphis, Tennessee, drew four million viewers when it debuted on the TNT network last year (10).
However, the programme's ratings plummeted when the second season
kicked off in June (11), and TV chiefs have decided not to bring it
back for a third run, according to Variety.com.
