Netflix has canceled dark-comedy series “Santa Clarita Diet” after three seasons.
“The world had never known a ‘zom-com’ until Santa Clarita Diet, and we’re indebted to creator Victor Fresco for bringing this idea to Netflix,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement. “To their endless credit, the incredible Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant were totally game, with an uncanny knack for comedy that brought Sheila and Joel Hammond to vibrant life, even though one of them was undead. We’re grateful to Victor, Drew, and Timothy, along with fellow executive producers Tracy Katsky, Aaron Kaplan, Chris Miller and Ember Truesdell and the terrific cast, including Liv Hewson and Skyler Gisondo, and crew for three hilarious seasons for Netflix members to discover for years to come.”

Nina Howie is leaving TBS after 3 1/2 years.
As vp comedy, Howie oversaw the network's original programming under TBS and TNT programming chief Michael Wright.
The backbone of TBS' original-series lineup has been acquisitions, including the Tyler Perry/Debmar-Mercury comedies "House of Payne" and "Meet the Browns" and off-network hits "Family Guy" and "The Office," but the network's homegrown shows have not fared as well.
TBS' highest-profile premiere this year was "Lopez Tonight," the nightly comedy talk show hosted by George Lopez, which has done Ok since its Nov. 9 premiere.
During its upfront presentation, the network announced a development slate that includes the animated comedy "Neighbors From Hell" along with "The Game of Life," from Kevin James; the Second City TV sketch comedy "Wee Hours"; and "Big Tow," from "The Drew Carey Show" executive producer Clay Graham.
The network also is reteaming with Debmar-Mercury for the Ice Cube-produced comedy "Are We There Yet?...

On hand to pitch his new TNT cop drama "Dark Blue" to media buyers Wednesday, Dylan McDermott posed a hypothetical question that could prove the underlying theme for the 2009 upfront.
"How long can you pretend to be something before you become it?" McDermott asked onstage at the Turner upfront presentation. And while he was referring to his character, a two-fisted undercover cop, the actor might as well have been talking about his new home network.
TNT has spent the past few years trying to erase the distinction between broadcast and cable television. To hammer home the point that it functions as a sixth broadcast network, the cabler scheduled its upfront in the heart of the broadcast upfront week and packed it with A-list talent.
TNT unveiled a drama slate that includes projects from Steven Spielberg, Steven Bochco, "Roseanne" creator Matt Williams and the husband-and-wife team of Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon.
