In separate actions by two cable channels, a drama series and a reality show have been canceled. After eight seasons on the air, A&E has canceled its reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," Deadline.com reports. Meanwhile, Syfy is pulling the plug on the drama "Sanctuary" after four seasons, the story reports.

"Sanctuary’s” fate had been clear for a while, as there hadn’t been any word on its future since the series’ fourth-season finale aired in December, the piece notes.

"Dog the Bounty Hunter" was canceled while the producers and network had been negotiating, with its demise blamed on "creative differences," reports TMZ.com.
