So NBC has officially cancelled "The Playboy Club." This is good news (twice) and bad:
-- Good, because it was a bad show, monotonely dark in emotion and in visuals, with characters who were hard to be interested in.
-- Good, because NBC is replacing it with a serious news program. On Oct. 31 (oddly), it will start a magazine show anchored by Brian Williams -- a real, "60 Minutes" kind of show, not just a "Dateline" collection of true-crime tales.
-- Bad because vigilantes feel it was canceled because of naughtiness. It wasn't; it failed because of poor execution, which is the ultimate Hollywood sin.
