Did these fools learn nothing from Cop Rock? Viva Laughlin, the universally panned musical/mystery/drama/casino-intrigue series has been canceled after just two airings. What's worse, the show has been pulled after just one try in its regular Sunday-night time slot. While the CBS Corp. (NYSE: CBS) show was rife with talent, including star Melanie Griffith and executive producer/star Hugh Jackman, it suffered from pitifully low ratings and even worse reviews. On Sunday, the program scored a 1.2 rating and a 3 share among adults 18-49. Last Thursday's premiere, helped by a CSI lead-in, turned in ratings that were also disappointing. The show was based on a successful BBC series, Viva Blackpool. This strategy has certainly been hit (The Office) and miss (Coupling) when it comes to stateside programming.
Filling the Sunday 8 p.m. time slot will be reruns of CSI until the new season of Emmy-winning reality show The Amazing Race begins November 4.
