Jane Lynch comedy “Angel From Hell” canceled

After just five episodes, CBS has pulled the new Jane Lynch comedy Angel From Hell off it’s schedule – effective immediately.

The network had ordered 13 episodes of Lynch’s first series role since the end of her six year run as Sue Sylvester on Glee.

Lynch played the caustic guardian angel of a young woman played by Maggie Lawson. The show had only been garnering modest ratings and will be replaced by episodes of 2 Broke Girls.

Lynch, of course, has another regular TV gig as host of NBC’s Hollywood Game Night for which she has won two Emmys for Outstanding Host.
