Cable TV's A&E network has wiped "Rollergirls" off its rink.

A&E executives liked the reality show centered around Roller Derby participants in Texas, but apparently viewers did not agree because the ratings were described as "subpar," Daily Variety reported Tuesday.

The network has a host of other reality offerings, however, including one featuring roommates Randy Spelling and Rod Stewart's son, Sean.

The freshman series "Dallas SWAT" got the go-ahead Tuesday for an additional 13 episodes next season and a pilot was given the go-ahead for "Out There," which follows members of Penn State's Paranormal Research Society.

Another show in the works is "I Never Said That," which was described as a mix between "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"
