Just 2.6 million watched the first episode of the sitcom starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

It was garbage, nothing about it was funny.

Hmmmm.....

Well, Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart averaged less than 1 million viewers when they had their shows on Comedy Central, yet they were the little media darlings, go figure......

There hasn't been a successful sitcom on Friday nights in years...decades even.

that's like comparing apples to Studebakers

but yeah, that show was a big shiny turd that needs to get pulled ASAP.

Really? A show with 2.6 million viewers threatens to be axed after two weeks and two lousy, stupid, liberal-fueled hacks like Stewart and Colbert who never had substantial audiences run for years?

Explain the "Studebaker" & "orange" here then.

A primetime show on a major broadcast network has a lot higher expectations than a late night cable show.

Last Man Standing just started its 5th season, the last 4 of which have aired on Fridays. And it's the first multi-camera sitcom not on CBS that has hit 100 episodes since According to Jim.

1 or 2 million viewers is poor no matter where it airs. Shows today can air for a long time with no viewers. Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock are some examples.

The Mark-Paul Gosselaar comedy has struggled in the ratings, averaging 2.41 million viewers.
