Spike TV's first dramatic series, Blade, which starred rapper Sticky Fingaz , has been dusted by the network after viewers didn't pump enough ratings life into it.
Although the premiere episode drew a strong audience of 2.5 million to the cable show, the numbers dwindled over the 12 episodes of its first season. By the time #12 aired, viewership was down to less than 900,000.
So, too bad - there won't be a second season of the show because Spike has pulled the plug on it, Variety reports.
Blade was a TV adaptation of the hit Marvel Comics movie trilogy which starred Wesley Snipes as a "daywalker", a half-vampire battling the forces of the undead.
In the TV series, Blade fought a renegade vampire clan which was developing a formula to help the bloodsuckers walk in the daylight - but the "researchers" had a sinister double agenda.
The Blade slot next season will be filled by the John Leguizamo heist thriller Kill Pit about a big robbery pulled off by ex-servicemen.

I give Sticky credit for showing some diversity. I've seen him do his thing on other TV shows. Can't knock a nigga for getting his grind on.
