Well, color us surprised. Do Not Disturb -- the hotel sitcom starring Jerry O'Connell that we loved to hate and then hated ourselves for kinda-loving -- has reportedly gotten the axe after only three episodes.

We'll be honest: you may have noticed our weekly episode review was missing this time around. Well, for some reason, our Tivo did not record Do Not Disturb this week. And we were hoping to catch the latest episode (#3) online yesterday, but it (curiously) was never posted on Fox.com and we were, frankly, a little bit bummed cause we kinda enjoyed it last week.

But silly, silly us: the Tivo apparently knew something we didn't. ]]> Jenna 2008-09-26T10:13:16-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/18/14520/4863 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/DND_BOH.png" class="imgborder"> <p>Have a seat. We're about to deliver big news. <p>We watched episode two of the new sitcom <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Do%20Not%20Disturb">Do Not Disturb</a></b> last night -- remember, the one we thought to be so offensively terrible that we questioned its right to claim even a moment of our precious attention <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/11/12356/9798/hotels/Do_Not_Disturb_Yes_It_s_That_Bad">last week </a>-- and, um, we sort of didn't hate it as much. <p>Were we drugged? Drunk? In a euphoric, nothing-can-destroy-our-happiness kind of mood? No, because that usually doesn't happen when we're at home at night watching television. <p>But we laughed. Out loud. Like twice, maybe three times. Which, we assume, means we were entertained at some point during the thirty-minute semi-disaster of a network television show.
