Wedding Crashers Fizzles
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Cancellations, Ratings,
NBC’s 10 p.m. time slot produces another casualty. The lighter fare hidden camera show (courtesy of Ashton Kutcher), Wedding Crashers is the latest casualty. You may recall that this time also killed off much-hyped Studio 60 and The Black Donnellys. After just two showings, the show, based on the premise of the film, Wedding Crashers, has been yanked from the schedule. For the next two Mondays, Law & Order: Criminal Intent will take the 10:00 spot. Not to worry, Law & Order fans… these same new episodes will also air on the usual Tuesday night that you typically watch Criminal Intent. Given lead-in Heroes’ success, you would think some of the audience would stick around for the next show. The Real Wedding Crashers pulled in a weak debut audience of 6.75 million people, then the numbers tanked for the following week. A glimmer of hope for the few fans of this new series—NBC may air the remaining episodes over the summer.

Real Wedding Crashers Fails to Deliver
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC,
I don’t know if any of you are planning to tune into The Real Wedding Crashers on Monday. I’m on the fence about this hidden camera show from Ashton Kutcher, but the latest review has me thinking I may just skip it. The good news is that this midseason series is only six episodes long. The better news is that it’s probably the last we’ll see of it. The 10 p.m. time slot for NBC seems to be where shows go to die. Remember Studio 60 and The Black Donnellys? Yeah, what happened to them? And are they ever coming back? I know I may be in the minority here, but I would really like some closure to Studio 60. OK, back to this wedding crasher show—five crashers work with the bride and groom to prank the guests. Hidden cameras capture all the hijinx. I guess the couple in on the joke would have to love a good prank—why else would you ruin your wedding day?

The Real Wedding Crashers Begins April 23
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Ratings,
NBC is hoping that the new hidden camera show, The Real Wedding Crashers, will translate into a hit for the Monday at 10 p.m. time slot. Previous ratings losers in this time include Studio 60 and The Black Donnellys. Studio 60 was on hiatus to introduce Donnellys, but now Donnellys will be taking a hiatus for Wedding Crashers. What does that mean for the fate of Donnellys and Studio 60? I’ve got a sinking feeling that it’s not good news. Still, The Real Wedding Crashers may be just the light and silly offering people are looking for, courtesy of Ashton Kutcher and company. And it doesn’t hurt that the series premiere is April 23rd, following Heroes. In the show, wedding couples will team with five improv performers (the crashers), resulting in what’s sure to be some funny moments. At least the bride and groom are in on the joke!
