JHud Gets a Third Season

[Mark Jeffries]

As shrinking audiences have thinned the herd of first-run syndicated talk and courtroom shows, Jennifer Hudson should consider herself lucky that the Fox-owned stations have picked up from Warner Bros. a third season of her talk show, which is on the stations' schedules along with Sherri Shepard's show from Debmar Mercury, two talk shows produced at Fox-owned stations and a raft of game shows, many of them produced in-house by Fox:

It wasn't that many years ago that Warners had seven first-run daily shows in syndication, headed by Ellen DeGeneres and the courtroom shows "Judge Mathis" and "The People's Court." Ellen retired (and had a scandal involving her staff), Mathis and "People's Court"'s Marilyn Millan saw their shows cancelled (and were hired by Byron Allen to essentially continue their shows under different names) and TMZ was sold to Fox, meaning that WB's only daily first-run series remaining are JHud and the tabmag "Extra.":

I was going to reply that the state of daytime TV is dreadful, but looking at the list of cancelled shows from just a few years ago, it has been continuously dreadful for a long while.
