Even though it aired on Saturday the ratings for the pilot of TBS’ The Wedding Band would be highly appreciated, too.
@Nick – If you see this, can you post ratings for “Deadtime Stories” at 8pm on Nick? Thank you!

What’s the lowest-ever rating for a first-run episode of a scripted series on cable?
Hunted has gone as low as 167,000 viewers.
Can anything else top that?
And by ‘top’, I mean do even worse, of course.
@Lu
I agree, all things considered the show is performing, which earned its renewal nod.
I heard that the Party Down/Gravity duo on Starz from two years ago was often down around 30,000 viewers by the end. The latter was one of the very few premium cable one-and-dones (not helped by being So Bad, It’s Horrible in the opinions of most critics).
Oh, great, BBC just canceled Hunted. Expect the Max Axe to fall any second now.
WHY DID NO ONE WATCH?!!!
Oh, great, BBC just canceled Hunted.
Wait, BBC canceled a show after just 6 episodes? Aren’t we repeatedly told that American networks are horrible for canceling shows after one season instead of giving them a real chance like the UK does?
In the case of “Hunted”, they should never have given it any chance at all.
I assume they will air the remaining two episodes, and Cinemax will air the entire first season as well, but man those ratings were bad, as were the reviews, AS WAS THE SHOW.
@One–NOBODY WATCHED IT BECAUSE IT REALLY SUCKED.
