CBS scraps new comedy “Partners”

CBS is pulling the plug on its freshman comedy, “Partners,” starring Michael Urie, David Krumholtz, Sophia Bush and Brandon Routh.

The series aired Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET and debuted to 6.6 million viewers this fall with a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. But the numbers have been struggling ever since, falling to 5.5 million viewers and a 1.8 rating.

In its place this Monday will be a rerun of “Two and a Half Men.”

Deadline first reported the news on Friday, noting that the series would be canceled immediately.

Stars of the series have already posted about their disappointment on Twitter:

Sadly, it is so. What a fun run it has been. I love @michaelurie @davekrumholtz @brandonjrouth so much. Our producers. Our crew. Thank u all

Do the Impossible with Pencils of Promise

New campaign offers scholarships, Grand Prize trip to Guatemala with Sophia Bush and Foster the People’s Mark Foster

LOS ANGELES (August 8, 2012) –Pencils of Promise, an organization dedicated to increasing access to quality education in the developing world, announces today the official launch of the Impossible Ones, a campaign built by the spirit of generation that thrives on achieving what’s labeled as “impossible”, The initiative mobilizes people to create fundraisers linked to personal challenges and goals like conquering a physical challenge, overcoming a fear, or pledging a birthday or milestone in an effort to help Pencils of Promise reach its own goal of building 100 schools in 2012.

“When you join the Impossible Ones, you are taking action to enhance the lives of others by giving them access to education and improving your own life in the process,” explains Pencils of Promise founder Adam Braun. “PoP is building a community of people who want to take on meaningful personal challenges and provide opportunities to children worldwide.”

The Impossible Ones was kicked off with the support of Celebrity Ambassador Sophia Bush, who pledged to reach $30,000 for her 30th birthday and ultimately raised over $60,000 to build two schools in the village of Guadalupana, Guatemala. Other campaign supporters include Bush’s co-star Michael Urie from the upcoming CBS series “Partners,” and Foster the People’s Mark Foster, who surprised Bush with a $10,000 donation to her fund raiser.

“On the impact trip I took with Pencils of Promise to Guadalupana, what struck me immediately was just how high need the community is,” recalls Sophia Bush.  “And that’s where my Impossible came from. Could I raise the money to build a school?” 

The top fundraiser will receive a Grand Prize trip to join Sophia Bush and Mark Foster as they visit the schools in Guatemala funded by Bush’s birthday campaign.

“I woke up one morning with this exact issue on my heart – education for children living in poverty stricken places that can’t afford the fundamental supplies to run a proper school,” says Mark Foster. “It’s amazing how a little can go a long way and change the course of someone’s life.  Education is a game changer.”

Students who sign up and start their own fund raiser will be entered to win $500 scholarships. Additionally, each student who raises more than $1000 will be entered to win a full scholarship valued up to $23,750 to sail on Semester at Sea, a global comparative study abroad program that offers educational voyages around the world. The winner will have the opportunity to visit up to 15 destinations and earn 9-15 college credits from the University of Virginia for transfer to their home university on a fall, spring, or summer voyage.
