Telly’s Take
Several Friday night sitcoms have come and gone over the past five years as the ABC executives tried to find a good companion comedy for Last Man Standing. It seemed like Dr. Ken was the solution but the numbers have taken a sizable dip this season. My suspicion is that they will cancel this series. Not what the doctor ordered, I’m afraid.
5/17 update: ABC has cancelled Dr. Ken after two seasons on Friday nights. Details here.
