Showtime Cancels 'Brotherhood'

Showtime has confirmed the cancellation of 'Brotherhood.'

They did so in a rather odd way, retitling the 3rd Season DVD set as 'The Final Season.'

The sweeping story of the mob and politics in Providence had long suffered lack of an audience that would have likely warmed to its Irish-American twist on "The Sopranos" tale with more than a nod to the Whitey Bulger story in Boston. Its final episode in December certainly had the feel of a series end.

Ignored by the Emmys, Golden Globes and even the TV Critics Association, it did pick up a Peabody Award in its time and an ASCAP award for the music by Jeff Rona.
