NEWS: NECESSARY ROUGHNESS Canceled; NASHVILLE's Charles Esten Faces $1M Question; TV’s Problematic Portrayal of Aging

NASHVILLE star faces $1 million question
Charles Esten (Deacon) will appear as a contestant on WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE with new host Cedric The Entertainer on Wednesday and Thursday. He's playing to see how much he can win for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. And the syndicated show reveals he's going to be the first celebrity player ever to make it all the way to the $1 million question on the daytime version of the game show.

NECESSARY ROUGHNESS Canceled by USA
“We are proud of this show and its writers, which had a unique ability to address topical subjects before they unfolded in real life on the sports pages,” the network said in a statement. “We want to thank Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro, the incredible cast led by Golden Globe nominee Callie Thorne and our partners at Sony Television.”

Somehow, it seems, the TV gods have decided that characters old enough to have adult children need to be vulgar, inappropriate or moronic. Or all three.
