The bastard's cancelled.
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Fox won the battle by putting its controversial game show "The Chamber" on the air before ABC's similarly themed "The Chair," but it may have lost the war.
The network decided Monday to pull "The Chamber" from its primetime schedule in favor of sitcom repeats and movies. Three remaining episodes will likely air this spring.
What's ironic about the early yanking is that Fox had played an extreme game of cat-and-mouse with ABC to ensure that the Dick Clark-produced "Chamber" bowed three days before ABC's "Chair" earlier this month.
Both shows force contestants to answer questions under duress, and both are mired in litigation: Fox is suing ABC, while the producers of "The Chair" are suing Fox.
After two Sunday previews, "The Chamber" had its first Friday airing last week, pulling an adults 18-49 share similar to the low end of what "Dark Angel" had been averaging 8 p.m. Fridays in recent weeks.
