A holiday card just flung over the Defamer transom offers word that CBS has canceled its well-reviewed if modestly viewed comedy Worst Week.

A tipster notes that the series' final episode of its 16-show run shoots this week. The show, an Americanization of the BBC hit The Worst Week of my Life, had benefited from a Two and a Half Men lead-in on Monday nights, with CBS ordering three additional episodes almost a month ago. It had been on a steep decline through the end of November, shedding almost 30% percent of its audience before rebounding last week for its best showing yet with 10.6 million viewers. That is some lump of coal, CBS.
