Is the Industry Getting Sick of The Hills?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Editorial

A recent poll offered up by PopEater poses a very interesting question…and raises a few more. Saying the site has “just about had it” with the “cheesiness” of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, stars of MTV’s The Hills, the site swears to stop covering the pair - if that’s what the public wants.

FOX’s ‘Nashville’ Moved Off Schedule

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX

Well—we can’t exactly call it a cancellation at this point….so let’s just call it a slow death.

FOX’s new series, Nashville, is temporarily being set aside after just two airings.  The reality show (and I use ‘reality’ to describe this show like I would use it to describe Laguna Beach) followed a group of music industry hopefuls trying to make it big in Nashville.  Unfortunately, viewers weren’t following them. 

Refusing to admit they have the first fall flame-out, the network is simply putting the show on hold until ‘sometime’ in October.  Re-runs of K-Ville will temporarily fill its time slot until two-hour episodes of The Next Great American Band take over on October 19th.

Ironically, some critics believe K-Ville may be the first show canceled this year.  If that’s the case—what will backup Nashville then?

The O.C. to Take Final Bow

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Cable, FOX, The O.C., Cancellations, Ratings

There was a lot of speculation about what would become of The O.C. once Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) was killed off. Looks like the show, which was given an abbreviated order for season four, will be wrapping up in late February. Fox announced Wednesday that The O.C. was canned, and the season finale will be the series finale. The last episode (ever!) of The O.C. will air February 22nd.

O.C. creator and executive producer Josh Schwartz said of the series, “This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close. Thanks to the hard work of our cast, crew and writers, we have enjoyed our best season yet, and what better time to go out than creatively on top.” Since the show’s high ratings in the first season, subsequent seasons have not fared as well. Some speculate that the “real-life O.C.” portrayed on MTV’s Laguna Beach led to the series’ demise. This last season drew much smaller numbers, just 4.1 million, and faced off against heavyweights CSI and Grey’s Anatomy.
