Yes, "Relativity" was cancelled.  

I think the Saturday night at 10pm eastern slot helped kill it quickly.  It
later got moved to Mondays at 10 pm eastern for its last three episodes.  

Check out "Ally McBeal" on Fox.  It looks somewhat promising.  At least
somewhat real.  

(I swear, I do study at school even though it sounds like I know alot about tv).
