First season series Emily Owens, M.D. has flat-lined at The CW as the network pulled the plug on the medical drama. The CW will still air all 13 episodes of the series’ original order. The most recent airing of Emily Owens, M.D. delivered a 0.3 rating with both A18-49 and A18-34.
It’s not too early to mark calendars for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards. CBS will air the awards event live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles on September 22. Emmy nominees will be announced July 18 from the Academy’s Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood.
PBS is set to air a collection of six films under the title Shakespeare Uncovered beginning January 25 at 9p (check local listings).

Celebrities attached include Ethan Hawke, Jeremy Irons, Derek Jacobi, Trevor Nunn, Joely Richardson and David Tennant. Shakespeare Uncovered is produced by Richard Denton for Blakeway Productions and THIRTEEN for WNET in association with the BBC and Shakespeare’s Globe in London.
Filling the void left by Jersey Shore on Thursday nights at 10p, MTV will debut a new reality series Buckwild centered on nine young adult friends in a small town in West Virginia who live by the motto “Whatever happens, happens.” MTV rolls out the new series January 3 at 10p and following the premiere, the network will air two back-to-back half-hour episodes each week from 10-11p. Buckwild follows the friends as they fight, drink, four-wheel, dive in mud puddles and overall tear things up.
In other MTV news, the network canceled the series The Inbetweeners which was a remake of a British series of the same name about the misadventures of four high school friends as they transition into adulthood. The 12-episode, half-hour series bowed last August to nearly 1 million viewers though the series concluded earlier this month with a little more than 600,000 viewers.
A third season of Lizard Lick Towing is on tap at truTV, making a comeback on January 21.

The series is produced by Zodiak USA, producers of truTV’s Hardcore Pawn and Killer Karaoke.
The sixth season of Ax Men debuts on HISTORY December 9 at 9p. The series follows real-life loggers working in an industry where they do whatever it takes to claim the “Green Gold” that’s worth millions. Ax Men is from Original Productions for HISTORY.
