The Real Wedding Crashers: NBC Wants a Divorce
I’m sure fans of series The Black Donnellys couldn’t be happier about this one. NBC is set to pull the reality show The Real Wedding Crashers after tonight’s broadcast and only three episodes.
Crashers debuted on April 23, 2007 and replaced Donnellys on the Monday night schedule. Crashers is loosely based on the 2005 movie The Wedding Crashers starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson and is produced by Ashton Kutcher’s production company. The series depicted various nuptials being interrupted by undercover crashers performing outlandish stunts. Unlike the Crashers movie, the bride and/or groom were in on the joke.
NBC will replace Crashers for the next two weeks (the rest of May sweeps) with new episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The Criminal Intent episodes will be then run again the following night at 9pm. Doesn’t NBC have any original programming left? Maybe Studio 60 or Donnellys?
The remaining episodes of The Real Wedding Crashers are expected to run during the summer months. Obviously this doesn’t bode well for the series’ future but, as is standard practice these days, NBC has not said that Crashers is officially cancelled. Stay tuned!

Wedding crashers was the best new show to air on TV for a long time and I’m still waiting for NBC to put it back on!! Please do so NBC!

I loved Crashers. I got tired of watching so many serious shows on tv until the wedding crashers came on. It made me laugh. It’s too bad that NBC can’t figure out a way to put both shows on the air so that both audiences can watch what they want to watch.

Crashers was a pretty crappy show. It was entertaining for about 15 minutes, but couldn’t really keep me from flipping channels. Sorry RWC.
