Broadcast History
After "The New Adventures of Old Christine" opened in the time slot for "Out of Practice" in March of 2006 as a midseason replacement, rumors of cancellation began circulating.

However, Ty Burrell asserted in an interview that "[w]e're going on hiatus from the air for two months, but we're coming back in March with all-new shows."

Two more episodes of "Out of Practice" were shown on Wednesday, March 22, and Wednesday, March 29, at 8:00 ET/PT.

The series was pulled from the schedule (along with "Courting Alex") due to low ratings.
