When NBC pulls the plug on a show…they YANK the plug, the wall, and even some of the wall too!

As reported earlier, we will be saying goodbye to Animal Practice as the show has been canceled almost immediately.

Now, due to Hurricane Sandy, NBC will cut the veterinary show a week earlier

PETA is cellllll-lebrating good times, C'MON!!!!

We told you yesterday that NBC has pulled the plug and put down on Animal Practice due to flat-lining ratings.

And as the show chills in the morgue of the TV graveyard, PETA is quite happy with NBC's decision.

By "put down" we mean killed and by "killed" we mean cancelled.

NBC has officially taken Animal Practice off the air.

After slowly dropping in ratings, we guess execs decided that America had enough of a monkey in a lab coat.

So who will be filling that empty slot?

A show about a veterinary hospital?!?!! Sign us up!

Gail Lerner has just gotten the nod to join NBC's newest ripoff show, Animal Practice as its showrunner.

The pilot will have a House-like veterinarian who loves animals…

Well. This is certainly one of the challenges that held up to the title of the series.

The return of the NBC series Fear Factor is already causing controversy, as we've reported, after the network yanked an episode that involved contestants forced to drink donkey spunk, but apparently, staffers on the series are furious, because the aforementioned challenge was linked to another in the episode that involved the risk-takers jumping a car through a moving train - and it cost them around $150,000!

Furthermore, some of the crew is baffled as to why NBC would pull "hands down the nastiest concept" out of a bunch of pitches that never even made it into the development stage, and as one source explains:

"There's lots of other gross stuff, but how do you top donkey semen?"

Well, if VOM-inducing nastiness is the line not to cross, then we can personally accept not being subjected to that on our TV screens!

But with the amount of publicity this is getting, you just KNOW that the episode will eventually find its way out there - one way or another!

It seems as if Fear Factor's donkey semen episode is getting talked about even more for NOT airing than it would if it had actually been shown as was originally planned.

After one of the semen chugging contestants spoke out about the donkey stunt and gave some of the gory details about the spunk swallowing episode, NBC has threatened serious legal action.

The contestant spoke about how horrible chugging the semen was because it had been left out in hot sun all day.

Omg. We just gagged.

After she was going to appear on camera for a live interview NBC immediately threatened to enforce the confidentiality agreement in her contract and has shut down any communication with the media in regards to the episode.

Apparently all the other contestants have also been told to keep their mouths shut.

We think if they don't want publicity, they are doing the exact opposite of laying low.

As we previously mentioned, the NBC show Fear Factor was going to air an episode where the contestants would have to drink donkey urine and semen.

Aside from this being completely disgusting it was apparently too racy for some of the NBC execs because it's been pulled from the air.

The episode has been replaced by a rerun in TV guides and all media and promos relating to it have been removed from the internet.

We're not sad to see it go.

We guess NBC didn't want to make an "ass" of itself.

LOLz!
