TV Bites: Comedy Central Pulls the Plug on Sarah Silverman

· Bad news, television fans: In spite of a last-minute Twitter campaign to keep the Sarah Silverman Program on the air, Comedy Central has canceled the series before it could reach its fourth season. The half-hour show nearly ended last season when the network cut its budget by over 20 percent until Comedy Central's sister channel Logo stepped in at the eleventh hour to help fund the series.

ABC merges the blood- and life-sucking, Facebook campaigns for a new Saturday Night Live host, and more TV Bites after the jump.
