Former Frazier actor Kelsey Grammer was notified that ABC has pulled the plug on his new comedy series Hank. The show was canceled after just five episodes.

Grammer was cast as corporate executive Hank Pryor, who was let go in a downsizing and found himself spending too much time with his wife Tilly (Melinda McGraw). The sitcom was to be a humorous look at their up close and personal family interaction, but America apparently wasn’t buying into it.

This is the second short lived series by the actor after a highly successful run as psychiatrist Dr. Frazier Crane. His last attempt was the Fox sitcom Back to You with Patricia Heaton, which lasted one season. In the days following the show’s cancellation, Grammer, 54, was hospitalized for what he later described as a stress induced heart attack.

Grammer is married to former Playboy model Camille Donatacci. They have two daughters – see family photos below.

So much for taking a relaxing family vacation. Actor Kelsey Grammer has suffered a mild heart attack while with his family at their home in Hawaii. The actor and his wife Camille were out paddle boarding when he became ill.

Famous for his roles in Cheers and Fraser, Grammer’s current sitcom Back to You will not be picked up again by FOX for the Fall.

The information came as a shock to the actor, who said that the cast had been assured by the network that all was well until FOX dropped the bombshell a few days ago.

Apparently an online petition is underway to try to encourage FOX to rethink the decision. There is also a slight possibility that CBS may opt to pick up the show.

Kelsey’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield indicates that Grammer is resting comfortably in a local hospital and should be released by the end of the week.

Our best wishes go out to Kelsey for a speedy recovery.
