Definately a "pass" in our house.
I suffered through konashark watching "Million Dollar Hoax" - but I won't let him near this. What's next, The Adoption????

'squeek'

PS - wait, I think they tried that - someone giving up a baby and three families "competed" for the baby???

I just happened upon the show and missed bits here and there as I was getting ready to go out. First off, that Penny behaves just AWFUL! Does she fit the sterotypical blonde younger wife of a rich guy or what?!

I'll probably watch if I remember it's on although I often get caught up watching Lifetime movies or Law & Order marathons on Saturdays. :-)

I am so embarrassed that they come from my state of Arizona! LOL! ... I caught the show just at the point of the competition...they were just finishing making the fences....

Penny's character has to be scripted...or else she would have been gone after throwing that wine in Ashley's face...vote her out if she thinks she's so high and mighty! LOL! (Of course if she 'wins' perhaps she'll leave Arizona and take her entire family to the ranch!)

It was funny for a while, but please. 'Joe Schmo' kept rearing it's much funnier head. I was waiting for the plate ceremony. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

I watched the whole show. The
part that really annoyed me was the wife's smile when the she got the advantage in the second contest because she "hurt her back and arms" on the first challenge. Give me a break! Sniff,Jhezzie, now I miss Joe Schmo.

Yes, but ROFL, there was *no* advantage that could help her win that contest, shackled to those other two.

Guess I missed it.. I thought I had it set to record and it could be that my DVR ate it.. my DVR is inthe mode where it thinks it is very full.. have to reset it soon..

Doesn't sound like I missed a whole lot, though.

well this show has done something no other reality show to my knowledge has done before, and also something few other TV shows have done either....been canceled after one episode. USA Today reports CBS canned the show last night after the horrible ratings on Saturday.....apparently, CSI:Whatever reruns do better.

This show being canceled after one episode is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. I didn't watch the show... flipped over for about a minute during commercials and saw the blonde girl throw the wine, but I was lost and it all looked contrived to me. I am a hardcore reality junkie, but this (like the $250,000 hoax show) just didn't have anything that caught my eye.... maybe someone will learn that even reality show viewers have a need for some point to the show!

Wow. Axed after one airing? That's funnier than the show itself!

ROFL--I loved the show. It was so, so horribly bad that it was hilarious.

Why would they axe something that's already filmed?

CBS kills The Will after one episode.
After airing a single episode, CBS has bailed on The Will, cancelling the series effective immediately. With 4.2 million viewers, it placed 79th, "making it CBS' lowest-ranked show of the week," according to the AP. This makes the series "thus joins a handful of other one-shot blunders in TV history." CBS announced this by way of a press release heralding "A SPECIAL REBROADCAST OF "COLD CASE," SATURDAY, JAN. 15." That's in The Will's timeslot, and the release says only that "This episode of COLD CASE replaces THE WILL, which has been pulled from the schedule."

I am so sure that some CBS muckymuck caught a glimpse of The Will and was embarrassed.

It should have been a Fox show. They don't embarrass much or pull shows of course unless it's a fake out gay show.

This would have been an ideal show for A&E or something, not for a major network. And why would a major network premiere a show (let alone a Reality show) on a Saturday night! The show was set to fail!! Premiering a show on the weekend is bad enough. The track record of those shows in miniscule to none. Why would they do this with this show?

And all the promotion they did? They feel stupid that they put so much hype around it and the ratings were low. Again, Saturday night - duhhhh! It boggles the mind. I was definitely interested in how it was going to turn out. I wanted to see Penny get knocked off at some point and how far Billy would get. Oh well, Forever Eden!!
