If internet rumors are true, Family Affair and Do Over have both been cancelled.

Do Over never truly hooked me as a viewer, but Family Affair continued to grow better and better with each episode making me sorry to hear we may not seeing any more of it. (The rumors are egged on by the shows not airing tonight, and not scheduled for next week.)
