Fox Pulls "I Wanna Marry 'Harry'" and "Riot" from Schedule
by Matt Webb Mitovich
June 12, 2014

"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.

that guy really doesn't even look like Prince Harry at all - were the female contestants blind, or mentally challenged?

"When Fox premiered the dating-deception show 'I Wanna Marry Harry' last month,” says James Poniewozik, "it raised the question of whether there was yet a reality-show concept so insulting, cynical, sexist and shameless that TV viewers would refuse to watch. There was, and they did.”

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.
