Show	Status	Notes
Kell on Earth	Suspended Animation
Kid Nation	Permanent Hiatus	We were ready for it; America wasn't. Damn those child-endangerment laws.
Kidnapped	Permanent Hiatus	Jeremy Sisto played Knapp, a man who excelled at finding people. It's a shame that he couldn't use those powers to track down an audience for this well-acted, well-paced show about retrieving the abducted son of a wealthy New York industrialist. All the Sisto- and Delroy Lindo-fueled bad-assery in the world couldn't stop NBC from giving producers the "wrap it up" sign and exiling the show to the broadcast Siberia that is Saturday night. Mr. Sobell chronicled the first three episodes; sadly, Saturday is his canasta night.
Kingdom Hospital	Permanent Hiatus	It was a Salem's Lot of crap they asked us to swallow: an artist-type who isn't Stephen King getting clocked by a van on a rural stretch of Maine road. A dutiful wife who couldn't act her way out of her husband's colostomy bag while she tended to his frozen frame in a hospital haunted by fallen stars of yesteryear. Andrew McCarthy as a cocky doctor. Ed Begley Junior as maybe a doctor who really enjoyed buttons. And then there was the haunting, a bone-chilling mix of boredom and hospital bureaucracy sure to bring any dedicated couch baron to his feet and reconsider the whole "going outside" thing. It was that level of viewing excitement -- coupled with swiftly declining ratings -- that got this show canned by TWoP before any recapper had a chance to write about it twice.
Kingpin	Permanent Hiatus	What's wrong with a world where a show that featured drug-runners, man-eating tigers, hypodermic-needle-wielding hookers, dog assassinations, voodoo, hints of homoerotic incest, anal rape, strippers, drug busts, opium dens, torture, and Sean Young can't get renewed? Search for the answer in Permanent Hiatus.
Kings	Permanent Hiatus	Le roi est mort, vive le roi... peut-être sur DVD.
Kitchen Nightmares	Permanent Hiatus	We woke up.
Knight Rider	Permanent Hiatus	K.R.A.P.
Las Vegas	Permanent Hiatus	The credits themselves pinned down the problem with this show: a little less conversation, a little more action. The mindless antics of Las Vegas's prettiest hotel staff weren't sufficient to keep anyone's interest.
Last Comic Standing	Permanent Hiatus	Who will be named "the funniest person in the world"? Maybe you'll watch the whole fifth season and find out; we won't.
Last Resort	Permanent Hiatus	Just as we were really getting hooked on this increasingly compelling submarine drama, ABC torpedoed it.
Launch My Line	Permanent Hiatus	Failure to launch.
Law & Order	Permanent Hiatus	What the WGA strike giveth, the end of the WGA strike taketh away. Dick Wolf's immortal franchise will go on, but not on TWoP. (Unless, of course, there's another strike and we're desperate for shows to cover.)
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit	Permanent Hiatus	In the end, the culprit was boredom.
Life As We Know It	Permanent Hiatus	Perhaps it was the pre-season comparisons to My So-Called Life and Freaks and Geeks that set our sights a little too high. Or maybe it was just the time slot of death. Whatever the cause, no one wants to know about the lives of three teenage boys in Seattle, especially when so much of their lives seemed to be rehashes of other teen dramas that have come before.
Life Unexpected	Permanent Hiatus	We expected more.
Life on Mars	Permanent Hiatus	"So I turned myself to face me / But I've never caught a glimpse / Of how the others must see the faker / I'm much too fast to take that test."
Lights Out	Permanent Hiatus	You ever notice how heavyweight boxers only have big bouts once or twice a year? You ever notice how many great movies there have been about boxers, but never an ongoing television series? Do you think the two facts could be related?
Line of Fire	Permanent Hiatus	An ABC cop drama featuring David Paymer getting naked? We'll never understand why that one didn't work out! But they did their best, with the bare asses and all the swearing and the ethnic slurs and Leslie Bibb in a sports bra. Too bad their best wasn't good enough.
Lipstick Jungle	Permanent Hiatus	Unlike that other spring 2008 SATC retread Cashmere Mafia, a network was actually willing to give Lipstick Jungle a second season. We weren't.
