TV briefs: Kathy Griffin & CNN, my video on "Real Housewives of Atlanta" By Rodney Ho
Bravo has cancelled Kathy Griffin 's talk show after just two seasons.
But that opens up an intriguing situation for Atlanta-based CNN, according to TVNewser . Last month, she tested a potential show with her buddy Anderson Cooper . The pair have done a New Year's special for several years.
The site also says CNN may revive "Crossfire" after an eight-year break.
Speaking of CNN, its test panel show "(Get to the) Point" ended its week-long experiment with lower ratings than "Anderson Cooper" repeats had had.
CNN's new president Jeff Zucker , by the way, will be at the Atlanta Press Club "Newsmaker" luncheon on April 15. It's sold out. (I'm a Press Club board member.)

AMC's "Mad Men" debuted at 3.4 million, down from last year's debut of 3.5 million.
***
A&E has renewed "Bates Motel." And "Judge Judy" has a deal now through 2017.
*** The Academy of Country Music show did even better than the CMA show in ratings, pulling in a 15.7 million viewers on CBS, the most in 15 years.
***
NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" (which includes Atlanta's Lil Jon ) hit a series low in ratings: 4.5 million viewers.
I cover local radio and TV for both the print and online editions. I write a blog on the same topics.
