Just how big of a flop is Kelsey Grammer's unwatchable new sitcom "Hank?" ABC has decided to pull it from the schedule on October 28, instead airing an repeat of the 1966 Halloween cartoon "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" — which it will have already aired the previous night.

That's right. ABC has so little faith in "Hank" that the network feels it can score better ratings with a rerun of a 45-year-old cartoon.

This moves "Hank" to the top of my "what's the next show that'll be cancelled?" list.
