Not all of the most hyped shows ever made have turned out to be hits. These overhyped shows turned up DOA, squandering millions and winding up pretty terrible.

Linking to the wrong article?

Well…. as long as we stick to the subject….

In 1983, almost all media went ga-ga over the upcoming late-night gabfest “Thicke of the Night.” Seemingly the trades wouldn’t stop talking about it. Virtually nobody outside of Hollywood, including myself, knew who Alan Thicke was in 1983, and without a “name”, not a good way to hype a show.

I suppose that TOTN was the potential goldmine that independent TV stations were looking for, to be the alternative to Johnny Carson—also by starting 30 minutes earlier in the night.

I cannot even remember if I had even watched two minutes of TOTN, but obviously I was not alone. It was here and gone quickly.

I guess it was seven years later, that Arsenio did the job that Thicke could not. Arsenio also went after a totally different audience, of which I wasn’t part!

[When I saw the subject line, TOTN almost immediately popped into my head.]

in the same vien how about the jay leno show in 2009 and was hyped to the skies as something new for jay and a game changer for tv and it ended up being just a clone of jays tomight show under another name

The Walking Dead is a perfect example of an overhyped show that was terrible.
