It's a cruel summer on Fox, with the network canceling both of their Tuesday spring dramas today on the heels of their recent finales. Alert, which ended its third season last week, and The Cleaning Lady, which aired its season four finale this Tuesday, have both been canceled by Fox. The network delayed making decisions on the series at their upfronts last month, when most pickups and cancellations would typically be announced by, waiting to announce the bad news about both series until after their runs ended. Both series were among the lowest-rated shows on Fox - and all of broadcast TV, each averaging 0.13 in the key 18-49 demo this season. That's not far off from the previous seasons, when they were both given suprirrisng renewals in spite of their poor ratings. The factors that allowed them to survive last season weren't enough this time around. The Cleaning Lady's cancellation is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide, while Alert is a miss.
