Can't say I'm shocked by any of the ones mentioned, from what I saw of some they were quite terrible.
After only three episodes, "The Playboy Club" lost its liquor license this morning. Here are four other new shows likely to follow suit shortly, due to disappointing ratings.
"Prime Suspect," NBC
Average rating in the 18-49 demo: 1.6
"Prime Suspect" is the prime suspect. Most TV experts saw promise in Maria Bello as a scrappy outsider who battles discrimination and distrust in the NYPD. But you saw nothing. The show was gunned down by CBS's "The Mentalist" and ABC's "Private Practice," and continues to slip.
"Charlie's Angels," ABC
Average rating: 1.8
Good morning, angels, and good night. America just isn't digging a chintzy remake of a chintzy '70s series whose success was based largely on the lack of Internet porn and good cable TV at the time. The show was fourth in its time slot, slipping 29 percent in ratings from its first to second weeks.
"Free Agents," NBC
Average rating: 1.5
Look for stars Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn to soon be free agents, too. Their workplace chemistry just never made the cut. Reportedly, the sitcom lost a million of its 6 million viewers between the start and finish of its first episode.
"How to Be a Gentleman," CBS
Average rating: 2.7
Wait, is this an "Entourage" subplot? It seems Kevin Dillon can't command any respect as a real-life actor, either. This snoozer was CBS's lowest-rated sitcom, and The Eye traditionally cancels its lowest- rated. Maybe they should try giving in to Andrew "Dice" Clay's outrageous salary demands.
