ABC’s ‘Work It’ Cancelled After 2 Airings

Deadline:

ABC has done the inevitable, pulling the plug on midseason comedy Work It. The critically panned cross-dressing comedy opened with a so-so 2.0 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.1 million viewers and plunged 20% in Week 2 to a 1.6. Work It joins such other recent comedy to bite the dust after 2 airings as NBC’s The Paul Reiser Show and CBS’ How To Be A Gentleman (thought the latter got one extra outing on Saturday.) For the time being, ABC will air Last Man Standing reruns in Work It‘s Tuesday 8:30 PM slot but the network has a half-hour series ready to go, the long-delayed third season of Cougar Town.
