“Wanda At Large” Canned
Fox takes ‘Wanda’ series off the air
Fox Broadcasting Co. has pulled the plug on “Wanda at Large.” The sitcom featured Wanda Sykes as a comic who lands a gig as an outspoken commentator on a local TV show in Washington. The series from Warner Bros. TV and Bruce Helford’s Mohawk Prods. had a promising start as a midseason entry in March in the Wednesday 9:30 p.m. slot behind “The Bernie Mac Show.” But “Wanda” hit a ratings wall after a moving to 8 p.m. Fridays this fall. In its last airing on Nov. 7, “Wanda” averaged a mere 3.8 million viewers and a 1.5 rating/5 share in the adults 18-49 demographic. Fox has already canceled “Wanda’s” 8:30 p.m. companion, freshman sitcom “Luis” (HR 10/28). The network has filled its holes on Friday in recent weeks with movies and specials. Fox declined comment Thursday.
