BravoTV.com's DeathWatch game is a contest promoting their Brilliant But Cancelled series, in which players are required to guess which of the new network series will meet the same, grisly fates as underwhelming Defamer commentators. An e-mail went out minutes ago announcing the first casualty of fall '06—Fox's bizarrely unfunny swingin' bachelor pad sitcom Happy Hour—though a retraction quickly followed:

WAIT! NOT DEAD!

Fox has performed emergency surgery, a little CPR and "Happy Hour" has been listed as critical, but stable.

According to the Fox website, the show has been pulled from the schedule, but will "return" in November. We remain doubtful about this, as many a show has gone on "hiatus" — never to return again.

The network's official line is that the series will return after their October baseball coverage, during which time a mid-level Fox comedy exec will be "made" by transporting the ill-conceived sitcom in the trunk of his car to the remote, arid outskirts of Twentynine Palms for a "retooling". Also pulled from Fox's schedule was Justice—the rare Jerry Bruckheimer misfire has been losing audience share steadily, and its Oct. 4 airing is being suffered the indignity of being replaced with a House rerun. Bruckheimer, for whom failure is not an option, will probably take his own drastic measure to ensure the series finds its footing, even if that means replacing its CSI-inspired, high-tech-meets-the-courtroom premise with random, spectacular detonations of jury members.
