It looks like Rita will no longer be rocking the Lifetime airwaves.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lifetime has axed the comedy series 'Rita Rocks' after two seasons, presumably due to low ratings.

The show, which starred 'Mad TV' alum Nicole Sullivan as a mom who starts her own garage band, premiered fairly strong in Oct. 2008, with 1 million viewers tuning in. At the time, it was Lifetime's first original comedy series in over 10 years.

• At 7, ABC Family has 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, followed by Cranberry Christmas.

After the jump, the late night talk shows.

Rita Rocks is premiering its second season on Lifetime tonight, along with Sherri Shepherd's new sitcom, Sherri. For those of you who haven't seen the show before, Rita stars Mad TV's Nicole Sullivan, who plays Rita, a suburban mom of two daughters who plays in a rock band on the side. Rounding out her garage band are her friends Owen (Ian Gomez), Patty (Tisha Campbell-Martin) and Kip (Ricky Ullman), Rita's daughter Hallie's (Natalie Dreyfuss) boyfriend.

The second-season premiere doesn't really focus on Rita's music so much. While we do still see her at practice, she's mainly dealing with mom stuff, specifically in relation to Hallie, her oldest daughter. In fact, what we have is a perennial family-sitcom classic-- the parent having to give the child "The Talk."

I feel sorry for the poor intern who had to put this thing together. I understand that Lifetime is a cable network and all, but they've become pretty high-profile lately. I would think that if they were going to send out press kits, then maybe they could spring for more than some confetti and crappy stickers printed out on the office ink jet.

Even Sit Down, Shut Up, which is last press kit I did, at least had a t-shirt. It was actually a super-comfy American Apparel shirt, and I still wear it around the house. The Rita Rocks/Sherri press kit, on the other hand, is a do-it-yourself lunchbox-type thing, filled with confetti, containing the DVDs, a bunch of crappy candy, and some un-inflated balloons. It's kind of the saddest thing I've ever seen.

Last week on The View, Sherri Shepherd showed off her new body, clad in a bathing suit, and now it seems there was more to her remake than just good health and looking better. Shepherd's Lifetime sitcom, Sherri, will premiere on October 5, and you just know it's her intention to score a big time success. Lifetime has had this in the works for months. This is the network's first fully-owned sitcom, so you gotta believe the net has a lot of faith in Sherri.

The show is based on Shepherd's stand-up, which is the same formula that worked for Roseanne, Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), Tim Allen (Home Improvement) and a half-dozen other comics, and the exposure Sherri gets from The View won't hurt at all.

The same demographic that watches The View tunes in to Lifetime shows like Drop Dead Diva and Army Wives. Oh, and don't forget the Lifetime movies. Ladies love Lifetime.

'Real Chance of Love'
(9PM, VH1) series premiere
As VH1.com points out, 'Real Chance of Love' is a spin-off of a spin-off ('I Love New York') of a spin-off ('Flavor of Love') of a spin-off ('Strange Love') of a spin-off ('The Surreal Life').

Brothers Real and Chance -- aka Ahmad and Kamal Givens -- were rebuffed by New York, but now they'll get their shot at reality love as 17 women compete to win their hearts.

The siblings, aspiring rappers who also refer to themselves as The Stallionaires, can pluck their mates from amongst a line-up of women that includes Bay Bay Bay, Bubbles, Stalker, So Hood, Rabbit, Lusty, Corn Fed and Milf. Let the casting for 'Real Chance of Love 2' begin.

When I interviewed Susanne Daniels, the President for Entertainment at the Lifetime Network, she was high on the success of Army Wives, and anxious to bring more comedy to the network.

"Viewers tell us that they love our comedies, our movies, Army Wives. I would argue that more people identify Reba and Will and Grace with our network now than the networks that launched them. And I was at the WB when Reba launched!" she said in TV Week. Well, now she's launching a new comedy, this time for Lifetime.

Lifetime has ordered 13 episodes of a new sitcom called Rita Rocks for this fall and cast Nicole Sullivan as Rita. The show will be part of a one-hour comedy block with Reba. "We've assembled a fantastic team in front of and behind the camera," said Ms. Daniels in a statement today.
