Fox cancels 'Past Life'

Reincarnation crime drama "Past Life" isn't coming back -- at least, not to Thursdays. 

Fox is yanking the struggling and widely panned series after three episodes, including last night's fourth-place performance, where it drew a 1.1 preliminary rating among adults 18-49.

Instead, Fox will air three weeks of original episodes of "Kitchen Nightmares" in the slot (with "Nightmares" also continuing to air on Friday nights). "Bones" and "Fringe" repeats will take over March 18, with originals returning April 1.

Fox says the remaining episodes of "Past Life" will be burned off sometime later this season.
