I'm not gonna gloat, but that is interesting. I guess ABC realized the audience wasn't there, and it was a waste to keep offering six-figure paydays for a show that's not earning the network any money.

The show tried to do wayyyyy too much, and was loaded with flaws. I just hope this doesn't mean ABC is giving up on games. I do hope they'll try something a little more conventional, and something a lot more watchable.

I am sure the producers will be speaking to a lawyer named Danny Crane about this.

They keep offering big money, but gave away how much last Wednesday????


Would the moderators consider adding "Shat Outta Luck" as a sub-title for this thread?

After watching the Wednesday episode, I thought I was watching "Xanadu 2006", with the roller-skating contestant playing Olivia Newton-John's role and William Shatner reprising Gene Kelly's part.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call to Endamnol to focus more on the gameplay and not the glitter/mo' money syndrome in future endeavors.

actually allow me to stop the "fun" as the story has just changed.  Broadcasting and Cable just sent out a "braking news" update to the story indicating that ABC has decided to pull the plug effective immediately and replace it with AFV.  The first story just said ABC cancled the order for more episodes.

Which means that the carryover player from last night, who had accumulated $650K, will see none of it.  Yikes.

(Granted, we don't know how his game ended, but still....)
