Do Not Disturb Becomes First Fall Cancellation
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Cancellations,
Well, at least this will give Jerry O’Connell time to focus on becoming a new father.
After only three episodes. FOX’s Do Not Disturb has become the first casualty of the fall season. The show - which was only watched by only 3.5 million this Wednesday - has already been pulled off the schedule. As of October 1, the network will air a one hour block of ‘Til Death (1 original, 1 repeat) for the time being.
While it’s doubtful the show would have succeeded in any circumstance (the producers already acknowledged that the first episode was simply “bad television”), the series never stood a chance during its assigned time slot. Seriously - did FOX honestly think a freshman program could survive against Criminal Minds, Private Practice and Project Runway?
