The fall season saw its first casualty on Monday when CBS pulled the plug on Viva Laughlin, ending the musical/mystery drama about a small-time casino owner after two episodes and -- leaving a hour-long gap in the E! schedule on Sunday nights.

The CanWest-owned channel carried the show, which starred Hugh Jackman, at 7 p.m., one hour ahead of its U.S. slot. A spokesperson was unable to provide ratings for Viva, but, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the most recent episode aired to a dismal 6.8 million U.S. viewers, a third of which drifted away by the second half.

E! had no immediate word on how it will fill the slot going forward. In the U.S., CBS will replace it with the 12th season of The Amazing Race starting Nov. 4. The Amazing Race is carried here by CTV. Viva Laughlin was adapted from the BBC series Blackpool.
