NEW YORK (AP) β Television viewers show little interest in Kate Walsh as a misbehaving judge, a utopian society manufactured for TV or the “How I Met Your Mother” love interest portraying a lawyer in love.
Each were the concepts for new network shows this fall that learned in the past week that they had no future. The industry’s report card, the Nielsen company ratings, was unforgiving.
Fox’s “Utopia” was a reality show that started out the season on two nights a week. That quickly dropped to one night and, after the show got a paltry 1.5 million viewers last Friday, Fox pulled the plug.
NBC said the comedies “Bad Judge” and “A-to-Z” will limp along until January when the initial order of shows runs out.
