LUCKY 7 canceled: Fall's first axed showLUCKY 7 has won the Fall 2013 TV lotto to become the first canceled show.

But LUCKY 7 premiered to 4.4 million viewers and a lowly 1.3 adults 18-49 rating last week, making it ABC’s lowest-rated drama premiere in years despite the evening launching with mega-rated AGENTS OF S.H.I..E.L.D.
