NBC has canceled "Ready for Love" after just two episodes.

The freshman reality dating show, executive-produced by Eva Longoria and hosted by Bill and Giuliana Rancic, had averaged 3.6 million viewers. It is unknown if or when the remaining episodes will air.

"Grimm" will take over "Ready for Love's" Tuesday at 10/9c timeslot beginning Tuesday, April 30.

Good!!

As soon as it lost over 10 million of The Voice's lead-in audience, I knew it was as good as gone. Not even NBC would be stupid enough to keep a show that loses that much of it's lead-in.

The way thing are going...reality shows may be out the door!

the real question is whether this is a punishment or a reward for Grimm - its fans are used to seeing it on Friday nights and it does well there; will it do as well in a different, possibly more competitive timeslot, or will it falter?

The way thing are going...reality shows may be out the door!
We can only hope.

The way thing are going...reality shows may be out the door!
I would hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. As much as we hate them, "reality" shows are cheap to produce, so that's why networks are in love with them.

Cancelled NBC Reality Series "Ready for Love" To Finish Its Run Online & VOD

Despite NBC‘s decision last week to pull low-rated new show "Ready for Love" from the schedule, the dating reality series will continue to run as scheduled, just not on the broadcast network.

Instead of pushing the unaired episodes to summer, NBC is putting them on NBC.com, VOD, Electronic Sell-Through (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and Hulu.

In all, three episodes of the serialized/competition show aired on NBC for the past three Tuesdays. Starting next Tuesday, April 30, a new episode will be made available until the finale on June 4.



Keeping a weekly release is unusual for streaming of TV series, which is normally done through so-called binge viewing. But while that is reserved mostly for scripted series, "Ready for Love‘s" airing pattern will adhere to the one viewers are accustomed to for unscripted series.

I can't imagine many people will go out of their way to catch the rest of this online, iTunes, etc. :lol:
