ABC has canceled its plans for the midseason comedy “Single With Parents,” Daily Variety reports. The show, starring Alyssa Milano, had the plug pulled after disagreements about the creative direction. The show would have featured Milano as a single mother trying to juggle different parts of her life and her dysfunctional family, Variety says. ABC has also reduced its orders for midseason dramas “The Castle” and “The Unusuals,” the Hollywood Reporter says. Each has been cut from 13 episodes to 10. The network feels it has a crowded inventory of series launching in midseason, the trade paper says, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation.
