EW.com's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Fox has just canceled Do Not Disturb, the new sitcom from out writer-creator Abraham Higginbotham. This would make Disturb the first new show of the fall lineup to be canceled. The show, about a group of employees at an upscale New York hotel, featured a gay character played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Reports Ausiello, "Sources confirm to me exclusively that the critically savaged sitcom, starring a slumming Jerry O'Connell and Niecy Nash, has been axed after three low-rated episodes. The show's Wednesday time slot will be filled with repeats of 'Til Death, which upgrades the network's 9 to 10 p.m. comedy block from excruciatingly painful to unbearably painful. (And yes, that is an upgrade, albeit a very slight one.)"

A spokesperson for Fox would neither confirm nor deny the cancellation to The Advocate and only said that the show would indeed be preempted next week. (Corey Scholibo, The Advocate)
