6 TV Shows That Were Cancelled After One Episode

6 TV Shows That Were Cancelled After One Episode, Each TV season, new shows come and go. Some are able to find success and live to see another year, while others don’t make the cut and become one-season wonders. There is, however, another group of shows that are in a unique category of their own. That would be the shows that failed so miserably that their networks decided to cut their losses and cancel them after just one episode. To commemorate some of the worst TV series to grace the small screen, here’s a look at six of the most recent shows that were axed right after their TV debut.

1. Secret Talents of the Stars (2008)

Hosted by John O’Hurley, the 2008 show was a competition series that judged famous people for skills that you didn’t know they had. For example, George Takei, who is primarily known for playing Hikaru Sulu in the television series Star Trek, appeared on the first episode to sing a country song, On the Road Again. The few viewers who did tune in to watch the show were not impressed — TV Guide states that CBS cancelled it after just one episode.

“Jeers to CBS for jumping on – and falling off – the celeb-competition bandwagon with Secret Talents of the Stars. The Eye network’s pathetic entry is hosted by John O’Hurley, but this feels more akin to his work on Family Feud than Dancing with the Stars (not to mention Seinfeld). He introduces contestants like Olympic skater-turned-contortionist Sasha Cohen, who again fails to match the gold-medal standard set by her predecessor, Dancing fave Kristi Yamaguchi,” a TV Guide review states. Apparently, viewers just weren’t that interested in watching celebrities show off their hobbies.
