NBC Calls Off 'Cooking Showdown,' Episodes to Instead Air Online
By Brian Ford Sullivan
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- NBC is calling off its "Celebrity
Cooking Showdown," as the show's final two installments - set to air
tonight and Friday - will instead be webcast on NBC.com.

They did pull it after episode 3. It started Monday and was to run until
Friday (5 days). Thursday and Friday were pulled, but will be shown on
Saturday.
The bigger surprise is that Heist was allowed to run out it's 5 episodes. It
could easily have been pulled after three.

Repeats of "Will & Grace" ("Love Is In The Airplane") and "My Name Is
Earl" ("The Professor") will fill the 8:00/7:00c hour tonight with an
encore of "Deal or No Deal" ("Episode No. 24") set to run tomorrow at
8:00/7:00c.
The news comes after yet another disastrous performance for the
series. Last night's installment took a distant fifth place among
adults 18-49 in the 8:00/7:00c hour (a 1.6 rating) according to
preliminary numbers, ahead of only "One Tree Hill" on the WB (a 1.2
rating).
Ben Silverman, David A. Hurwitz and Sean "Diddy" Combs were the
executive producers of the series.

You know, if you're going to put on reruns no one is going to watch,
you might as well air the eps.

And they are. NBC reversed course late this afternoon, saying that
both of the remaining episodes WILL INDEED air this Saturday night in a
two-hour block.

I did in fact watch the MNIE rerun and was pleased, more so than I
woulda been if it was the trainwreck of a cooking show CCS turned out to
be.
