UPN has yanked a low-rated freshman comedy, “The Mullets,” from its schedule during the November ratings sweeps, and although the series remains in production, its future is uncertain. In the most recent report from Nielsen Media Research, “The Mullets” was the lowest-rated show for the week of Oct. 13-19, coming it at No. 114.

Meanwhile, CBS said it too was indefinitely benching an under-performing first-year series, the Wednesday drama “The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire.”
