"Profiles From the Frontline," a Pentagon-sanctioned ABC reality series about U.S. troops in Afghanistan and other global hot spots, was reportedly due to air by year's end. [...] the network still hasn't scheduled the series, which is produced by Bruckheimer and reality guru Bertram Van Munster -- the duo behind CBS' "The Amazing Race" -- and recently cut its order from 13 to six one-hour episodes. Television series will likely run sometime in the second half of the season, though that depends on the evolving needs of the network's primetime schedule as well as on world events.
