Fox Pulls "I Wanna Marry 'Harry'" and "Riot" from Schedule

"I Wanna Marry ‘Harry’" has been royally dumped.

Fox has pulled the deceptive dating series as well as its Tuesday lead-in, the improv-on-an-incline series "Riot", from the schedule effective immediately.

Starting June 17, the ill-fated freshmen will be replaced by repeats of "Family Guy", "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project".





Starting Friday afternoon, any unaired episodes of "Harry" will be made available for viewing on Fox.com, Fox On Demand, FOX NOW and Hulu. Fox will announce any broadcast plans for either show at a later date. If ever.

In their most recent outings, "Riot" and "Harry" drew barely a million viewers each while mustering a 0.4 demo rating.

I wonder if these women REALLY were that gullible and believed that this was Prince Harry, or were they just participating to get their 15 minutes of fame at any price.:confused:
