Jane Lynch-Led ANGEL FROM HELL Pulled from CBS Lineup

Yesterday, the CBS network pulled the next episode of ANGEL FROM HELL, starring Jane Lynch, from its Thursday night lineup. THE HALF HOUR comedy will be replaced with an episode of Big Bang Theory. Beginning Thursday, February 18th, the show will be replaced by new episodes of 2 BROKE GIRLS. While there has been no official word of cancellation from the network, things are not looking rosy for the series.

Lynch, best known for her role as Sue Sylvester on GLEE, stars as Amy, a colorful, brassy woman who insinuates herself into THE LIFE of an organized and seemingly perfect young woman, Allison (Maggie Lawson), claiming to be her "guardian angel." Allison is an intense, driven dermatologist who is sure that Amy is just an inebriated, outspoken nut, until every one of her warnings proves true.

The single camera comedy has thus far aired five episodes since its January 7th premiere and has delivered modest ratings. Last week's episode was seen by 6.3 million viewers, its lowest numbers to date.
