Showtime Axes 'United States of Tara'
Showtime is deporting the Toni Collette show "United States of Tara."
Created by Oscar-winning "Juno" screenwriter Diablo Cody and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the dark comedy that centers on a mom who suffers from multiple personalities will be ending after its third season ends this summer.
Collette won an Emmy in 2009 and a Golden Globe in 2010 for her performance.
The cable network, however, did renew the Edie Falco comedy "Nurse Jackie" for a fourth season.
