‘Hank,” we hardly knew ye.

ABC has yanked Kelsey Grammer’s ratings-challenged sitcom, “Hank,” which didn’t make it to the half-season mark.

The show, in which Grammer played a laid-off CEO who returns to his wife’s hometown — had been preempted Wednesdays at 8 p.m. in recent weeks after low viewership numbers.

It’s unclear what ABC will do with the show’s five remaining episodes, according to Variety.

“Hank’s” cancellation makes Grammer 0-for-2 in prime time since his longrunning hit “Frasier” ended after 11 seasons in May 2004.

In 2007, Grammer and Patricia Heaton played bickering news anchors reunited at a Pittsburgh TV station on Fox’s “Back to You,” which was cancelled after one season.

For now, ABC will air a mix of comedy repeats and holiday specials in “Hank’s” timeslot, according to the Variety report.

ABC also canned its freshman series “Eastwick.”
