In the middle of our three-part series on fashion impresario April Francis this week we received some rather interesting news in our inbox. It seems that the show CBS show 3 that we interviewed Francis about was taken off of its primetime Sunday slot after two episodes. While we wait on official word on the show's final fate, we wonder what could have gone awry? We were extremely excited for our hometown to get some more TV action but perhaps TV viewers have been too enthralled in Ryan Lochte's speedo clad ass to think of watching anything other than the Olympics. -Samm Mackin
