emmasi Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Axed: Wheel of Fortune Nine's Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune has spun up a Bankrupt, axed after just five weeks. This week's celebrity edition didn't come close to Deal or No Deal. It's strongest faring was on Monday (616,000) but it was thumped by Seven (979,000). On Wednesday only 567,000 saw the $200,000 prize won by Rachel Beck. A Channel Nine spokesperson said, “We are disappointed that Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune has not done as well as we had hoped. It is best in these circumstances to make the tough decisions and move on – so we have." Both Tim Campbell and Kelly Landry will remain with Nine. Campbell will soon be seen fronting Celebrity Singing Bee for Nine, a gig he is reportedly more than comfortable doing. Kelly Landry will join Getaway. Nine is replacing it with one hour of Antiques Roadshow from 5pm. The UK show provided a much stronger lead in for National Nine News, which has taken a hit since Wheel debuted. When Antiques last aired it had 677,000 viewers. But Nine is not alone in programming woes this week with Seven yesterday pulling Ugly Betty from future schedules. The final episode of Wheel airs this evening. http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/06/axed-w...of-fortune.html Well, at least *I* saw Rachael Beck...

KaitieL Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 WHAT?! You mean today was the last ep? Why are they doing this? They don't seem to give shows enough of a chance. Five weeks isn't that long really. Aw, Jem, you've made me sad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Tim's really got a touch of death thing going on with game shows... The Singing Bee has already failed once. I think he better start praying real hard that Dan Baker makes a miraculous recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Of all the IPS-plagued posts I've made tonight, I didn't expect that seemingly uninterrupted one to be a double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TickTock Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm not sad about Wheel of Fortune. Sad for Tim, but otherwise...not really. Very upset about Ugly Betty, though. Great great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Tim doesn't make a good host...he makes a better actor. It's a real waste of talent from one crap show to another. I hate channel nine for wasting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Tim doesn't make a good host...he makes a better actor. It's a real waste of talent from one crap show to another. I hate channel nine for wasting him. I don't think he's really good at either. He's good at acting, but I think he really shines when he's being an entertainer.
