B&C announced that ABC has canceled “Show Me the Money”.  They have seven additional episodes taped which will continue to air in the Tuesday, January 2nd (8PM ET) time slot, but has decided against the order or more episodes after that.  I guess it took the ratings to sink five weeks in a row for [...]
