Todd Stashwick, who plays Driver's cousin in the series, said "Word came down. That word is canceled."
"Thank you everyone, all the passionate folks who were rooting for our return. Alas it will not be."
The show only lasted for 2 seasons with 20 episodes so it was short lived. Short and sweet.

SVU celebrates a major milestone tonight with a major guest star: Robin Williams returns to the small screen for a powerful performance in the drama's 200th episode. Funnyman Williams plays a brainy engineer who uses his smarts to play tricks — and not the amusing kind. He poses as a policeman over the phone and convinces people to commit criminal acts. His smooth-talking self-defense wins him his freedom — and cult celebrity status — giving him a grander stage for his hoaxes and his antiauthority message.
Dancing With The Stars @ 9pm
At first glance, heavy metal's Def Leppard might not seem to have much in common with Kylie Minogue or Ashlee Simpson. But when the release of a new album in the U.S. coincides with an appearance on a DWTS results show — and a guaranteed audience of more than 10 million — a similarity emerges. Like Minogue's X (April 1) and Simpson's Bittersweet World (April 22), Def Leppard's Songs From the Sparkle Lounge hits stores today, and tonight they'll perform the single "Nine Lives," as well as their 1980s hit "Pour Some Sugar on Me."
Reaper @ 9pm
Being a Reaper is a tough job, and frequently requires getting one's hands dirty, so Sam has some big-time explaining to do when Andi accidentally sees him beheading a demon. She, of course, doesn't know it's a demon and thinks that he has actually murdered someone. The solution to the dilemma: a deal with the Devil, of course. Meanwhile, Ben faces marriage under suspicious circumstances, and next-door neighbor Tony appears in his true demon form, which ain't pretty.
The Riches @ 10pm
The second season concludes tonight — and not a moment too soon for Wayne and Dahlia, who could use some time off to patch up their marriage (assuming the series returns next year). It's no small order: Dahlia is genuinely shocked about Pete's death, and whenever Wayne tries to make things right (by lying!), he's interrupted by an urgent phone call from Hugh. As for the kids, it would be nice if Cael would call home since Dahlia's sick with worry. And how about the fling Di Di's having with that cute young security guy? Look for developments on those fronts tonight, and look for the enigmatic Quinn (Jared Harris) to finally show his hand.

Last week, Brooke White's performance of "Jolene" impressed its writer, Dolly Parton, who said that she loved Brooke's "sweet, warm way." Tonight the eight remaining finalists test their mettle on inspirational songs. Perhaps we will have some patriotic songs to inspire us? And David Cook is still on top lets see how he dazzles us tonight....
Secret Talents of the Stars @ 10pm
Sixteen celebrities showcase their hidden talents in this seven-week reality series hosted by John O'Hurley. Each week, four stars display an ability that is outside his or her profession, and viewers vote to determine who stays and who goes. A winner will be crowned on the May 22 finale. For tonight's opening quartet, Clint Black performs stand-up comedy, Sasha Cohen attempts to become a contortionist, Mya tap-dances, and George Takei sings a country song. The judges commenting on the acts are Debbie Reynolds, Brian McKnight and Gavin Polone.
The Riches @ 10pm
The Bayou Hills deal finally begins to heat up tonight as the investors arrive at Panco for a crucial meeting, and one of them happens to have gone to college with Doug Rich. It isn't like Wayne hasn't weaseled his way out of straits like this before (regularly, in fact), but now Dahlia is going all squirrelly on him too. Dale's threats last week really got to her. As for the deal itself, the details will emerge tonight and they won't surprise you. They'll appall you -- but they won't surprise you.
Boston Legal @ 10pm
Back with its first new episode since February, David E. Kelley's drama would appear to waste little time getting back into the realm of social commentary. And while it may not be politics, abortion or war this time, one can envision a lively sermon by Alan when he and Jerry take on a tabloid talk show. It seems a woman was murdered by her ex-boyfriend after she turned down his marriage proposal on the air, and it's up to our intrepid attorneys to make sure justice is served.

The players have been working their butts off (literally) and are feeling pretty good about their progress. Tonight, style guru Tim Gunn is going to make them look pretty, too, with hip hairstyles and flattering fashions to show off just how much they've taken off. In addition, a treadmill challenge has two contestants showing off their commitment and can-do attitude — and their competitive spirit, which keeps them going for more than an hour.
The show celebrates its 100th episode with a fittingly momentous occasion: Lucas and Lindsey's wedding day. It looks to be a joyous event for all — well, maybe not for everyone. Peyton made peace with Lindsey, but will she now forever hold her peace as she witnesses her true love, Lucas, marrying someone else? Or maybe Haley will say something, since last week she suddenly told Lucas, "You can't marry Lindsey." Whatever happens, it will surely be a memorable day in Tree Hill.
When we left Eden Falls last year, Dale, who's not quite as dumb as he looks, was on the verge of stumbling onto the truth about the Riches. He puts the pieces together on tonight's second-season opener, and he might strike it rich as well. It seems that Hugh has a new land deal brewing, and Wayne's (er, Doug's) share could be $13 million. And, since Wayne and Dale each has damaging information on the other ("mutually insured destruction," Dale calls it), they're 50-50 partners. Meanwhile, Dahlia and the kids (and Cherien's senile mother) have hit the road, joined by Nina. "I want to live off the land," she tells Dahlia
Season 6 kicked off last night with the six male contestants, so tonight it's time for the women: Shannon Elizabeth, Marlee Matlin, Priscilla Presley, Monica Seles, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Kristi Yamaguchi. This show hasn't had a female winner since Season 1 (Kelly Monaco, back in 2005), so perhaps a little battle of the sexes could inspire one of these ladies to put an end to that streak.
