Los Angeles: CBS is cancelling police drama "Battle Creek", "Stalker" and 'The McCarthys", as well as dropping the Bryan Cranston-penned pilot "Sneaky Pete".
Two of those projects come from "House MD" creator David Shore, who worked with "Breaking Bad"s Vince Gilligan on "Battle Creek" and Cranston on "Sneaky Pete", according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Battle Creek" starred Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters as police officers whose conflicting personalities resulted in a rocky partnership.
The highly-anticipated series made its debut on CBS in March, but failed to catch on with a large audience.
"Sneaky Pete" was a crime drama with Giovanni Ribisi in the title role as a charming conman just out of jail.
"Stalker" was developed for CBS by Kevin Williamson, whose Fox drama "The Following" was also cancelled.
Dylan McDermott, Maggie Q and Mariana Klaveno portrayed a division of the NYPD tasked with tracking down violent stalkers in Williamson's series, which premiered last October.
Another casualty today was "The McCarthys", a family comedy which was pulled from CBS's lineup in the middle of its first season in February.
