Following the likes of MADE IN JERSEY, freshman series ANIMAL PRACTICE has been yanked from the air by NBC. ANIMAL PRACTICE will air its last episode on Nov. 14.

After the Justin Kirk-led comedy failed to improve in ratings after its second month on the air, the company decided to replace it with WHITNEY, and resume the show for its second season.

ANIMAL PRACTICE is a new comedy centering on Dr. George Coleman (Justin Kirk, "Weeds" "Angels in America"), a top veterinarian with an impressive list of famous animal patients at the Crane Animal Hospital – a bustling New York City veterinary practice where it often seems as if the patients are running the place. Despite his unorthodox style, George has an undeniable gift with animals of all kinds – except the human kind. Much to his chagrin, George recently learned that his ex-girlfriend, Dorothy Crane (JoAnna Garcia Swisher, "Better with You"), has inherited the family business and is now George’s boss. Whip-smart and ambitious, Dorothy shakes up the hospital as she brings order to the chaos and butts heads with George’s animal-friendly administration.
