"Chinese TV Show Canceled After Drawing Only 180 Million Viewers

Onion News Network:
BEIJING—Hijinx Of The Masses, a Chinese sitcom about 16 twentysomethings who live above a tea shop, was canceled Monday after the series premiere was only able to draw a disappointing 180 million viewers. "We were aware that the show would be competing with dragon-boat races on ESPN Macau, but Hijinx Of The Masses still performed much worse than expected," China Central Television network executive Wei Xiang said. "Anything less than a quarter of a billion viewers is simply unacceptable." In order to fill the time slot left by the canceled program, the actors, producers, writers, camera operators, and everyone else associated with the show will be executed live on air next Thursday at 9 p.m."

For the record....Dragon Boat races only came in second in the ratings. The perrenial winner, Unwanted Female Baby Pit Toss, dominated the time slot.

So that's where the Fox exec who cancelled FF went off to. Nice to know that China now has the same troubles as the rest of the world.

Unwanted Baby Pit Toss (call me sick, but that's funny)

The Chinese should learn from us and steal ideas from the BBC. Three's Company made millions.

It also helps if you actually have a quarter of a million televisions and an outlet to plug them in to.
