It turns out that while imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, it doesn’t always equate to success. After just three weeks on the air, NBC has decided to cancel the Marco Pierre White “Top Chef-ish” incarnation, Chopping Block. The show has come in last place against all the major networks in the past two weeks and this week only averaged 2.6 million viewers. The network will instead run Law & Order reruns in the time slot until a replacement is found. Sidebar, does anyone else realize that Law & Order has been on for 19 years? Not that I feel old or anything. Ok, maybe a little.
