ABC Pulls Plug on Order for Shatner's Show Me The Money
By Ben Grossman -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/15/2006 8:01:00 AM
ABC has decided to shut down production and pull the plug on the six additional episodes it recently ordered of the William Shatner-hosted game show, Show Me The Money.
ABC confirmed Friday morning it currently has seven more episodes of the show already in the can, and as of now plans on finishing that run and airing those episodes through January, but has decided against the additional order.
The show averaged just a 1.6 rating/5 share in the adult 18-49 demo Wednesday night at 8, hitting a new series low and falling 16% from its previous airing.
ABC had announced earlier this month it would pick up six additional episodes and move the show to Tuesdays at 8 beginning January 2. That is the timeslot in which the remaining installments will run in January.
Show Me The Money is produced by Endemol USA.

This show was hilarious and will be missed by those "over 49". William Shatner made it watchable and deserves kudos for it and also for his work on "Boston Legal".

Why would ABC want to pull this show. this is one of the best reality shows that was ever on. Very entertaining and something the entire family could watch. William Shatner makes anything he is in worth watching. PLEASE BRING IT BACK....

I loved " Show Me the Money" and I am a new
Shatner fan with Boston Legal (the best show on
TV) and this fun game show. It is just Shatastic!!!
Even my high school students had started
watching and looking forward to it when it was
pulled. I hope ABC will reconsider as they will only
have so many chances to have the wonderful
William Shatner as he is 78 years old. Let us have
our fun-bring back this show!!!
