It's time to bust out the bugle and let rip some "Taps"; we have the television season's first full-fledged cancellation.
The CW has axed its Web-savvy show Online Nation, according to a report from Variety. Online Nation was barely in its infancy, having only premiered less than a month ago on September 23.
Though the program attempted to tap into youth culture by basing a show around Internet video clips and other online fodder, viewers just didn't log in. Airing on Sunday nights, Online Nation tanked--the last episode was seen by only 580,000 viewers.
In its place, The CW will air repeats of its new critically praised comedy Aliens in America.
Online Nation has the unfortunate distinction of being this season's first officially canceled show, but the crown may actually end up in the hands of another. Fox pulled country-music reality show Nashville a few weeks ago, saying it would return again. However, industry consensus is that its return is questionable.
So they thought this would do better than Veronica Mars?
From what Ive read about, it was better when it was called VH-1's Web Junk 20.
I'm sure there are many others show better than this.
The idiots at the CW could have got 3 million more viewers then this show if they kept Reba in this spot.
Did anyone honestly think it would last?
Yeah, Online Nation sucks. I got DirecTV and there's a 101 program call "The Fizz" it's good. So check it out every Sunday.
DARN !!! I thought they said KID NATION was cancelled.... I was already to do my happy dance. ONLINE NATION? Never even heard of that one. Considering the number of viewers it had, I guess thats not terribly surprising.
Guess that's why they shouldn't have canceled great shows like Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls...serves them right for creating stupid shows like online nation. Go for what your viewers want! Not what you think your viewers want.
guess they should have keep veronica mars
was always on the cards.
The first good news from CW, I wasn't watching this show and everyone else wasn't either.
I knew it. There's a million video-recap shows, and none of them are extremly popular. I knew it, next is CW Now. Trust me, CW Now is being cancelled next.
I just hope the CW doesn't cancel Life is Wild or my new favorite show: Reaper. Those two shows are good!
Online Nation wasn't a good idea from the beginning. I agree with the other guys, we want Veronica Mars back!
Well that was predictable! The CW executives are a bunch of morons... they pick up junk like Online Nation and drop excellent critically acclaimed shows like Veronica Mars! :evil:
What on earth was the reasoning behind basing a show on online video clips and content? Youth are going to watch those things precisely where they're located: ONLINE.
Somewhere out there the cast and crew of Veronica Mars, Reba and All of Us are laughing right now.
I never heard it. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Umm..What?
Why is the CW always the first one to cancel a show?
never watched it
Mm, it figures. That's worse that Monday nights for the CW, so it was only a matter of time. <i>Aliens in America</i> is alright, so it might get some more viewers from being on Sunday nights too.
Like pracitcally all unpoular CW shows this one diserves to get canned though I didnt watch it.
I never heard of this show...
