Another blow to Smackdown!

    That was in keeping with the news that UPN is going for respectability in the future, and in that future there's no room for senseless degrading of the Amish or for smackdowns.

    That's right. There's only one year left on the contract for World Wrestling Federation's "Smackdown!" and the network has decided to let it go.

    "It still makes us a decent amount of money," says Leslie Moonves, co-president and co-chief operating office for Viacom, which owns both CBS and UPN. "When you think about the powerhouses of CBS and NBC on Thursday night, it's great counter-programming. (But) it doesn't fit into the overall (programming) strategy."

    Seems this is more to do with a programming policy that Smackdowns overall suckiness, but is still yet another indictment of how poor it has become. Guaranteed if its ratings were still high, it wouldnt be canned.

    I wonder how long it will take for it to get a new 'home'?
