USA Cancels "Fairly Legal," Nears "Burn Notice" Renewal
By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- USA has axed its Sarah Shahi-led drama "Fairly Legal" after two seasons.

"Sarah Shahi is undoubtedly a star and we're thrilled she'll be joining our sister network NBC on Chicago Fire," the network said in a statement to Deadline.com. "We are proud of Fairly Legal and thank the very talented cast and crew for two fantastic seasons."

Meanwhile, said report goes on to indicate the cable channel is finalizing a deal for a 13-episode seventh season of "Burn Notice."

Both developments come on the heels of yesterday's cancellation of its freshman drama "Common Law."

Here's a breakdown of how USA's scripted originals have fared so far this year, ranked by total viewers (Live+SD, 1/1/12-10/28/12):

4.401 million - Burn Notice (1.2 adults 18-49 rating)
