ABC Cancels "Mind Games" after Five Episodes
Mar 27, 2014

"Mind Games" has been canceled after just five episodes, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
The drama, which starred Christian Slater and Steve Zahn as brothers who work in psychological manipulation, debuted in February to 3.6 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demographic. Those numbers are on par with the equally dismal debuts of the now-canceled dramas "Lucky 7" and "Killer Women" in the same time slot this season.
"Mind Games'" most-recent episode drew 2.06 million and an 0.7 in the demo.
"Mind Games", which was airing on Tuesdays at 10/9c, will be replaced by encores of "Resurrection" for the next two weeks.
"Celebrity Wife Swap" will premiere in the timeslot on Tuesday, April 15.
Christian Slater has been having it rough on network TV over the past six years. "Mind Games" was Slater's 4th show since 2008 and only one of those (Breaking In, Fox) made it to a 2nd season.
Slater also starred in NBC's "My Own Worst Enemy" in 2008 and ABC's "The Forgotten" in 2009.
"Mind Games" is also the third Kyle Killen-penned drama canceled in its freshman season following Fox's "Lone Star" and NBC's "Awake".
