ABC's Crime Drama "Detroit 187" May Get Dumped

ABC's TV crime drama "Detroit 1-8-7" may need the help of 9-1-1.

The future of the Tuesday night crime show appears to be up in the air. Rumors are, the series will be replaced by a new program called "Body of Proof," starring actress Dana Delany. The change could come in March of next year.

"Detroit 1-8-7" stars actor Michael Imperioli and is shot here in Detroit.

Ratings for "Detroit 1-8-7'' have not been impressive enough to keep the gutsy crime drama going. It currently has about about 8-million viewers per episode.

When the show premiered, it had an initial audience of 9.8 million viewers. The program airs Tuesday nights at ten o'clock on WXYZ-TV Channel 7 in Detroit.
