From Deseret News archives:
'Vanished' disappears
Well, not so mysteriously. What with the lousy ratings the show has received, it's no surprise that Fox has canceled the show. (Although a little more notice for TV listings might have been nice.)
Hey, when they kill the lead character in the seventh episode, you know things aren't going well.
Fox will make the remaining episodes available online they'll stream OnDemand at Fox-owned MySpace platforms. Don't expect any sort of wrap-up, but we're at least supposed to find out why Sarah Collins was kidnapped. (For all 11 of you who care.)
Ironically, NBC also canceled its kidnapping serial cleverly titled "Kidnapped" and put the remaining episodes of that show online at nbc.com. (At least that one has a conclusion at the end of 13 episodes, for all 23 of you who care.)
Fox plans to air four episodes of "Justice" on Fridays at 7 p.m. in December. The last four episodes, because it has canceled that show, too.
A or A-: Just a couple "Heroes" and "Ugly Betty"
B- or C+ "Brothers & Sisters" and "Jericho," which have both been picked up for full seasons.
Graded on a curve: "Friday Night Lights" and "Studio 60" are both struggling in the ratings, but NBC has picked up full seasons of both shows.
Academic warning: It will be no surprise when "Six Degrees" and "The Nine" are canceled.
Failing grades: "Smith," "Kidnapped," "Runaway" and "Vanished" have gotten the ax.
Incomplete: After one outing, it's too early to say on "Day Break."
