‘VIVA’ ALREADY CANNED

CBS has yanked its musical ca sino show “Viva Laughlin” after just two episodes.

The Amazing Race” will take “Laughlin’s” place in the Sunday 8 p.m. slot, starting Nov. 4.

A repeat “CSI” will run in the time period next week.

“Laughlin,” which boasted Hugh Jackman as executive producer, was based on the hit BBC series “Viva Blackpool,” about a gambler who opens a casino but winds up in the middle of a murder investigation.

“Laughlin” included characters that sang along to hit songs to advance the plot, but the show tanked in its premiere Thursday night, airing after “CSI,” and then bombed again Sunday.

The network is still deciding what to do with the remaining episodes of “Viva Laughlin.” Possibilities include streaming them online or placing them on a cable outlet, according to Variety.
