My Name is Canceled

For some reason NBC has decided to cancel My Name Is Earl, in favor of Amy Poehler's new show Parks and Recreation. This is unfortunate because Earl was a pretty unique and funny show, with what I thought were excellent characters. Parks and Recreation is basically a rip-off of The Office and, while it is funny, I don't think it's as funny or unique as Earl.

Given that NBC canceled Kath & Kim, I'm not sure why there isn't room for both Earl and Parks and Recreation on Thursday nights. Frankly, I don't think the SNL Thursday Night Live (which will be getting the initial 8E/7C slot on Thursday nights) has as much legs as Earl, but apparently NBC disagrees with me.
