BREAKING NEWS! ABC Shows Door to "Show Me The Money."

According to Broadcast & Cable today, ABC gave the boot, the door and an Italian hand gesture to William Shatner’s game gig, “Show Me The Money.”

The show had been ordered to cease production immediately and will be replaced with “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

B&C said “the show averaged just a 1.6 rating/5 share in the adult 18-49 demo Wednesday night at 8, hitting a new series low and falling 16% from its previous airing. "

Originally ABC had announced that it would pick up six additional programs with a strategic move to Tuesday nights in January. All for not.

Beam me out Scottie.

Coming Monday...Captain Dan's Take on "Holly Jolly Radio". New "Shout-It-Out" Begins Sunday.

Grey's Anatomy counts as "creative original programming?" We're in much more trouble than I originally suspected...

Just because it is liked, does not make it original... It is a great show, but the premise has been used over and over.
