NBC is NOT "Ready For Love."

[TroyG]

Just after 2 2-hour showings, The Peacock has no choice but to pull The Eva Longoria-produced dating game show and it will immediately be replaced with "Grimm" starting April 30th, & it will be shown for 3 more consecutive Tuesdays at 10/9 Central & Mountain. "Dateline" will be shown in "Grimm"'s place, Fridays at 9/8 central, before "Rock Center"-effective immediately, for the time being. And, as far as this Tuesday goes (4/23), things are definitely up in the air But, for now It's all in limbo or TBA as far as NBC is concerned.

You would have thought they had learned their lesson with the failure of a similar CHEAPLY PRODUCED program--Jerry Seinfeld's "The Marriage Ref." Then again, this is NBC we're talking about.

At the risk of this sounding silly......

If NBC wants a "Dating Game"-type show on its air......Why not just bring back "The Dating Game"?, and be done with it.

 

[TroyG]

2 hours of "Ready for Love" is too much too handle. They need to bring back shows-with scripts attached to them. Reality-type game shows are so much a thing of the past.

Another "almost-You're-In-The-Picture" show. NBC, you are killing your own network!!

Having seen YITP but not RFL, will the host (whoever it was) come on air and apologize for 30 minutes?

That's a scary thought; human mannequins Giulliana and Bill Rancic getting yet another half-hour of airtime they don't deserve. Speaking from watching their reality show and Giulliana's terrible 'anchoring' on E!, I could do without seeing the Rancics for a few years.

 

[TroyG]

The Rancics are much as bad as The Kardashins and The Mowry Twins. All of them are hogging up more time on both E! and Style-Sister Cable channels to NBC and part of the Comcast family of too many channels.

The show's title, "Ready for Love", sounded like a cheesy telenovela. Plus, we already have "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette". How much more of this type of programming can networks inflict on the public before it reaches a saturation point? For NBC its, "Let's just schedule it in and find out. After all, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a scripted drama. Maybe we'll get lucky."

^ "It's a heck of a lot cheaper than a scripted drama" is all you need to know!

Forget 'Marriage Ref', which at least earned enough initial success to get a second season (but only 19 episodes in all). You'd have thought NBC would have paid attention to not-so-struggling CBS, which pulled the terribly named 3 dating reality show late last summer after two abysmally-rated episodes. http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/cbs-pulls-3-after-just-two-episodes/

If NBC had to try this, perhaps execs should've tried it on Fridays along with the launch of Fashion Star.

NBC should really try an actual game show route instead. Depending on who owns the rights to what, I'd love to see something like an all new Greed. (originally aired on FOX in the early 00's) After all, it was "Prematurely cancelled", and there's no doubt it would bring in better ratings than "Ready for love" did.

Why not have 'Ready For Love' air on My Network TV instead?
