What is the shortest lived TV show?

When it comes to short lived shows, the two I can think off the top of my head are Whatevs! and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. My reasoning for both Whatevs! and RAMSAY'S is because neither show went out with any sort of dignity and a sense of closure. Both have been completely forgotten about, and have left no legacy behind. Now you tell me which one really has the upper hand, as far as being forgotten?

I'm leaning towards Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. This has the most lasting legacy since its not only still remembered by everyone on Earth that the show existed in the first place, but that its a beloved classic. So I think it should win the title hands down.

Dave. I don't see this happening at all. Derek B. My vote goes to American Idol. It was only 8 episodes long, but if this were a show that's actually in its 10th year, the fact it lasted even that short of time before they pulled the plug and turned it into an 8pm show would speak volume to just how successful this show truly was. It started off well, but things went south after the first season. If it had been around now, in the 21st century, I imagine it would have become a great deal more popular like say, Fox.

Also, The Great British Baking Show just came on. It's only been one episode long, but with this show coming on at the same time as American Idol, and airing in the UK, I highly doubt it will be given such a long run here.

Thatcher's Britain, eh? Nolan Llewellyn. I know I'll get flak over this answer, but it has to be South Park. And why? It's a very good reason: every single episode had a good laugh from start to end, with only four episodes to get any number of laughs. Compare that to Seinfeld's 'Seinfeld (the Series)', which ran for a mere twenty-one episodes (and twenty-five minutes worth of ads) to even one joke. In my mind, Seinfeld was great.

What shows is CBS cancelling?

In recent years, CBS has cancelled about 10 scripted shows this season.

Not a lot of people noticed. Maybe only a few thousand will miss them. (Note: If you click on the arrow in the image below, it will let you navigate through the list of cancelled shows)

On May 11th, 2026 at 10:30pm, the network aired the final episode of Under the Dome. But the show had been cancelled the day before. And it actually had a series finale three months earlier, on April 20th, 2026 at 10:00pm.

CBS cancelled the show in February 2026, three months after it began filming. The studio was afraid that a big, ratings-challenged show with a science fiction premise might do poorly in primetime.

It was another huge hit from a network that has been losing its touch for a while. It was no surprise when CBS announced it was cancelling the show - but many fans and critics were surprised that it would be the final season.

The show is about a small town that is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world by a towering crystal dome. People start to panic. Meanwhile, two teenage girls are trapped inside.

The 13-episode first season finished with a cliffhanger. The writers knew that they were writing the last episode. On May 11th, 2026, Dean Norris and the cast got together for an emotional wrap party that was broadcast live. It started with Norris being interviewed, and then the cast gathered around him to support him.

During the talkback, one of the female stars of the show made the shocking announcement that the cast wouldn't be back for season 2. There's no way to make this up any faster, the actor told the crowd. We're not coming back.

The next morning, May 12th, it became clear that the announcement of the final season was very premature. Under the Dome has been sold internationally.

How do I find old ABC shows?

I was asked to create a program that will be used to find TV shows and programs.

It was written in Visual Basic .NET, and the client who created the program wants me to make it more user friendly. Is there any way that I can add features to it that will make it easier for someone to enter in shows and hit search, instead of having to enter the exact word for it in the textbox?

When it asks you if you know what the channel number is, is there a way to have it autofill the channel number with the letter, and not have to type it in every time you use the search box? So far I have written out the whole code. Everything but the searchbox itself.

Is there a way to create a search box that can display a drop down list of all the currently listed ABC shows? I've been working on the program for about two hours now and am at my wits end. Every thing I try, I still end up getting an error when it hits the "search" button.

What do you mean by "everything but the searchbox itself"? Are you asking how you can do the rest of the work as an asp.net webform in the same project? Because it sounds like you have already completed the form.

This is VB .NET and the search works perfectly on my system with no errors. But when I load it up at the client site it gives me the same error. If you'd like I can upload the entire project on dropbox or something.

The "search" button is in the "form" tag which I had copied from a different page. I'm having trouble coming up with anything else that is causing the error to happen.

So your problem is, that when the site is displayed on another computer, the .NET framework installed there differs?

What was the ABC sitcom from 1964 to 1972?

A good question.

The best answer I can give is this: The ABC sitcom from 1964 to 1972 was a show called Watusi, starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

So says Tom Shales at the Washington Post, writing about the new TV musical that NBC gave a shot on Monday night. That new TV musical, The Band's Visit, failed to make an impression, though I think people are just trying to make up their minds about it. And it's not really a show, either; it's more of a movie of the week.

Shales has a good quote from the book Watusi, the story of how the series was conceived, produced and canceled by Astaire and Rogers. Here's a little of the book excerpted by Shales: When the news broke in Hollywood that Ginger Rogers was returning to the studio to do an updated version of her first and only successful film with Fred, the word Watusi came up every time, over and over again. Rogers called him regularly, as did a few other friends she had known when she was first dancing for RKO Studios. But not until Fred called Ginger who had become part of his routine after he lost his best friend, and partner, Bobby Sherwood in 1955 did he finally hear her say those magic words: I want to do a picture with you, Fred.

We'll make it, he told her. How would you like to make a film with me? Do what? she asked. Fred laughed. Make another picture, Ginger, he said. A musical. You know, where we dance all day long.

But don't they make musicals about actors? she asked, worried that she wasn't good enough to play herself. They do, Fred assured her. But I love actors. I need you to be my Ginger. My Watusi.

Well, that doesn't sound great! But it sounds sort of promising. The Watusi series was supposed to air Monday through Thursday evenings.
