TNT Cancels 'Raising The Bar'

TNT has canceled the Steven Bochco legal drama "Raising the Bar," starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Gloria Reuben and Jane Kaczmarek.

The legal drama began strong, but the ratings in its second season were only half of what they were in the first. It premiered to 7.7 million viewers last fall, but the second-season premiere was down to 3.6 million, which was less than half the viewership of lead-in 'The Closer.'

A rep for the network says, "Everyone at TNT had a great experience working on 'Raising The Bar' with Steven Bochco and the rest of the show's terrific cast and crew. We're proud of the series and appreciate the efforts of all of the creative people who were involved. Unfortunately, ratings for 'Raising The Bar' second season did not reach the levels required for TNT to renew the series."

According to E! there are three unaired episodes of the series that TNT will air possibly in March 2010.

This marks another failed series for producer Steven Bochco who has not had a hit since 'NYPD Blue' went off the air in 2005.

This is a disappointment to me. I was a fan of the show and thought that it really hit its stride in season 2. I was hoping that TNT would give it another season.

Anyone else feel the same way I do? Or did you think this was the right move?
