Trivia Question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What show was the lowest rated show in the history of prime time, what network was it on, and for extra credit what was the rating?

Brian · 05-08-2003, 01:16 AM

I read that there was this one drama on Fox in the late 90s that attracted so few viewers that it was cancelled after one telecast. I forget what it was called. Is that what you are talking about?

I know that there was a sitcom on CBS in 78 or 79 that was so bad and did so bad in the ratings, it was cannceled after the first episode. And earlier (I don't know what year & whhat network, but I THINK it was also CBS) they had a show that was so bad, it was cannceled during the first show.

Are either of these right?

During the first show? What did they do, go to commercial and never come back to the show?

That would be funny!!!

I heard of a show that was cancelled before it aired; I don't recall the name.

I do remember reading about a Jackie Gleason show called You're in the Picture that was so bad, he came back the second week to apogize. The show was never shown again. THe time was in the 1950's

There was an episode of The Simpsons where they were watching a TV show that had done so poorly in the ratings that it was cancelled mid-air. That would be really funny if it did happen in real life

None of you are right. Heres a nint honeys it wasn't on NBC CBS FOX or ABC.

How about "Reunited" on UPN with a 0.9 rating?

Anna4 · 05-08-2003, 07:06 PM

No the correct answer is DiResta on UPN in 1999 with a rating of 0.81. You see, you learned something new from Anna.

treky · 05-09-2003, 02:03 AM

no wonder I didn't know; I never heard of it! And the only time I watched UPN back in 1999 was wednesdays, for "Star Trek: Voyager". -the only thing I watch on it now, is "Enterprise". (obviosly, I'm a treky)

it was in 1960, and it was a game show. But that's close to the 50s, so you're forgiven-even though this site is calledSITCOMS ONLINE!!!
