ABC pulled "Big Shots" from the schedule in December 2007, and filled its slot with repeats of "Private Practice". On December 15, 2007 ABC announced its mid-season schedule, and "Big Shots" was back on the schedule. Despite the original commission of thirteen episodes, as a result of the Writers Guild of America strike in Hollywood, only eleven were made. The final one aired on January 24, 2008. On May 13, 2008, ABC officially cancelled the series.
